Abstract
AbstractTi films with different thicknesses were successfully deposited on the surface of WE43 alloy by filtered cathode vacuum arc technology, and the microscopic morphology, structural composition, and corrosion resistance of the films were studied by means of X‐ray diffractometer, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope. The results show that when the deposition time of Ti ions is 800 s, the thickness of the Ti film is 2.35 μm, the surface of the film is dense, and there are few defects. Meanwhile, Ti800 alloy has the best corrosion resistance among the four modified alloys. It has a corrosion current density (Icorr) of 2.9 μA·cm−2, which is about 50 times lower than that of unmodified alloy. This conclusion is also confirmed by the complete film layer of Ti800 alloy and the tight bonding with the substrate after immersion experiments. Good corrosion resistance is attributed to a dense and relatively chemically stable TiO2/Ti structure in simulated body fluid corrosive media.
