The objective of this work is to investigate the effect of Mo implantation at a dose of 3.5 × 10 15 ions/cm 2 on the corrosion resistance on 304L and 316 austenitic stainless steels. Electrochemical measurements were used to investigate the corrosion behavior of the alloys in sulfuric acid in presence of chlorides. The obtained results show that Mo implantation at the considered dose induces an increase in the Cr/Fe ratio of the passive layer of both alloys, but its effect on the corrosion properties is not well defined.
