The cupronickel alloy surface experienced punching deformation for 60 min and recovery at 300 ℃ for 1 h to produce gradient surface. The grain size measured by XRD is bigger than that measured by AFM, due to X-ray intensity of95 % produced at the depth of 12-20 μm for the crystal planes of(111),(200), and(220). The gradient grain surface, compared to the original surface, shows a 13.7-fold decrease in passivation current density(i), and corrosion potential(Ec) increases by approximately 9.8 %. These results are attributable to the increase in EWF and formation of passivation film with better adhesion and compactness after treatment.展开更多
