Abstract
Oxygen is known to be an important factor in reducing the corrosion ra te of titanium, yet small amounts of oxygen on the titanium surface ar e practically undetectable by standard Rutherford Backscattering Spect rometry (RBS) analysis. The 3.05 MeV nuclear scattering resonance for He-4(+) on oxygen was used in this study to show that surface oxygen i s recoil-implanted by collisions with 1 MeV gold ions and produces a n oticeable effect on corrosion test results.
