In order to obtain better Fe-C alloy film,a knife-pen was used to eliminate the coating and cladding of fibers effectively instead of conventional HF acid method.The fiber core was metallized by means of ion sputtering Au or Fe-C,vacuum evaporating Fe-C,electroless plating Cu respectively.Then Fe-C film in different thickness was electroplated on the Cu film and Au film.After testing the sensing properties of the different thickness of Fe-C film a new way was proposed to monitor corrosion quantitatively,a conclusion was drawn that the ion sputtering Au was the best way to metallize the fiber core,which should be helpful for the future research of the optical fiber corrosion sensor with Fe-C alloy film.
