Popis: We report on the corrosion behavior of thin films, prepared by dual ion beam sputtering (DIBS), containing different concentrations of γ'-and e-iron nitride phases. When deposited on Si wafers, the film containing almost equal amounts of γ'-Fe 4 N and e-Fe 3-x N phases shows the highest corrosion resistance. When deposited on iron substrates, all the films show almost total chemical degradation. We attribute this to the open microporosity of the different films deposited.
