Influence of sputtering on the surface composition of Fe-Cr-Mo alloys

  • 1. Ecole Polytechnique Federale, Lausanne (Switzerland)

Description

Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) combined with Kr+ sputtering was applied to investigate the influence of sputtering on surface composition of ternary Fe-Cr-Mo alloys. AES-amplitude ratios of fractured alloys were compared to those of alloys that were sputtered to steady state conditions. Preferential sputtering leads to the enrichment of Mo at the surface. A preferential sputter model originally developed for binary alloys shows reasonable agreement with obtained results. (Auth.)
