The AISI 306L stainless steel implanted with nitrogen has been characterized by means of electrochemical and mechanical measurements. Implanted samples used saturation doses of 6×1015, 2.03×1016 and 1.6×1017 ions N2×cm-2 at an acceleration voltage of 3.6 MeV. Implanted and non-implanted samples were compared in order to study the beneficial effect of ionic implantation at room temperature. The results show a detrimental effect of the corrosion properties for low-doses implantation due to poor surface modification which leads to more localized attack than the non-implanted specimens. On the other hand, higher dose show beneficial effect on both mechanical and electrochemical properties. The higher N+ dose showed the less anodic pitting potential. XRD analysis revealed that implantations dose of 1017 N2×cm-2 modified the crystallographic structure of the stainless steel. In addition, mechanical measurements demonstrated an improvement of the surface hardening as well as less lost wear by the action of pin-on-disk test.
