Abstract

The corrosion, wear and surface chemistry of tantalum-implanted pure iron, AISI 52100 steel and AISI M50 steel are reported. As in titanium implantation, the tantalum-implanted surfaces are found to be partially vacuum carburized and to have superior wear resistance. However, the corrosion resistance is markedly better for tantalum implantation and is therefore a treatment which can produce resistance to both corrosion and wear.
