(A) The EDX mapping of Zn ion implanted Fe; (inset) the mass and atomic contents of Fe and Zn in the mapping area. (b) Polarization curves and (c) static immersion tests for pure and Zn-implanted Fe. Adapted from Ref. [68] copyright (2016), Oxford University Press. (d) AFM image with surface roughness (Ra) values for pure and Zn-implanted Fe (Zn–Fe-10 sample, ion dose = 10 × 1016 ions/cm2). (b) Polarization curves and SEM images for (f) Fe, (g) Zn–Fe-10 sample after 9 days immersion test. Adapted from Ref. [49] copyright 2017, Elsevier. (h) SEM image and (inset) EDX map for Ta–Fe sample. (i) The atomic composition of Fe and Ta at P1, P2 and P3 points in the SEM image. (j) Polarization curves, (k) analysis of average degradation depth and released Fe ion concentration during static immersion tests for Fe and Ta–Fe sample. Adapted from Ref.
