Corrosion-electrochemical behavior of laser-processed steel-40
Corrosion-electrochemical behavior of laser-processed steel-40 has been studied by the method of anodic potentiodynamic curves in borate neutral and weak basic solutions. The results show that laser annealing improves the corrosion resistance of steel-40. The same samples have been studied as electrodes of hydrogen cathodic reduction in 0.1M NaOH. Laser annealing also improves cathodic activity of steel-40.
