Corrosion behavior of tantalum alloying on γ-TiAl by double-glow plasma surface metallurgy technique

The Ta coating with corrosion resistance is grown on the γ‐TiAl substrate by double‐glow plasma surface metallurgy technique, followed by the electrochemical test in 10 wt%, 20 wt% HCl and 10 wt%, 40 wt% H 2 SO 4 solution. The data of nanohardness and elastic modulus are collected by the nanoindention test. The adhesion strength of Ta coating is investigated by means of the scratch test. The study of corrosion resistance is performed using...
