The given work deals with the effect of γ-irradiation on the oxidation process of the Ni-P chemical deposition on the surface of the stainless steel marked 304. The methods used are scanning electron microscopy and X-ray analysis. As a result, it has been found out that after γ-irradiation the surface of the Ni-P layer is completely covered with cracks, and on the surface of this layer a high content of oxygen and phosphor has been detected because of formation of the P2O5 oxide.
Keywords: Ni-P layer, surface morphology, gamma-radiation, structure.
