The article compares the corrosion properties of oxide layers formed on titanium nitride (obtained in glow-discharge nitriding) using electrolytic plasma oxidation. The corrosion properties are analysed in correlation with the surface morphology, microstructure and chemical composition of the layers. The oxidation processes were carried out in 10% and 25% phosphoric acid (V) solutions containing Ca2+ calcium ions. In each of these environments, oxide layers were formed using three oxidation potentials: 200V, 400V and 600 V. The oxidation potential and the concentration of acid and calcium ions in the oxidation solution was shown to affect the morphology of the surface and the corrosion properties of the oxide layers obtained.

Abstract Nanocrystalline nickel oxide (NiO) thin films were successfully grown on quartz substrates by two-step method. In the first step, nickel films were deposited on quartz substrates by DC magnetron sputtering technique. Then, the plasma oxidation of nickel films was used for preparation of nickel oxide. The effect of DC plasma power and treatment time on the structural, morphological and optical properties of the NiO films were investigated by different analyses. XRD results indicated that the plasma powers effectively influenced the structure of films, and the best crystallinity was obtained for plasma power of 15 w and treatment time of 20 min. The XPS, RBS and EDS analysis confirmed the presence of Ni and O elements. The FESEM and AFM images showed a granular structure with spherical shapes of grains. The optical band gap of the films synthesized under different plasma oxidation conditions was also discussed.

Surface hardening of commercially pure titanium by using pulse on pulsed nanocrystalline plasma electrolytic carbonitriding has been studied in this investigation. Coating process has been performed on Triethanolamine-based electrolyte by cooling bath. Nanostructure of obtained compound layer was examined with figure analysis of SEM nanographs. The effects of process variables, i.e., Triethanolamine concentration, electrical conductivity of electrolyte, applied voltage, and treatment time, have been experimentally studied. Statistical methods were used to achieve the optimum size of nanocrystals. Finally the contribution percentage of effective factors of pulsed current was revealed and confirmation run show the validity of obtained results.

AbstractIn this research a new process of plasma oxidation of crystalline silicon at room temperature is studied. The plasma oxidation was carried out using Diffuse Coplanar Surface Barrier Discharge (DCSBD) operating in ambient air and oxygen at atmospheric pressure. The influence of exposition time, plasma parameters and crystallographic orientation of silicon on oxidized layers and their dielectric properties were investigated. Thickness, structure and morphology of these layers were studied by ellipsometry, infrared absorption spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. During the treatment time, from 1 to 30 minutes, oxidized layers were obtained with thickness from 1 to 10 nm. Their roughness depends on the crystallographic orientation of silicon surface and exposure time. Electrical parameters of the prepared layers indicate the presence of an intermediate layer between silicon substrate and the oxidized layer.

Three different thickness ceramic coatings were deposited on die-cast AM50 magnesium alloy in KOH and NaAlO 2 solution using electrolytic plasma oxidation (EPO) technology for corrosion prevention. Immersion corrosion tests were carried out in 3.5% NaCl solution for 336 hours to investigate the effect of coating thicknesses on tensile and fracture behaviors of the coated AM50 alloys. The results show that the yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the coated AM50 alloy subjected to immersion corrosion increase with an increase in coating thicknesses. Further analyses on stress and strain curves indicate that the coating enhances the strain-hardening rates of the corroded alloy during its plastic deformation. SEM examination on the fractured surface manifests that the substrate AM50 alloys exhibit characteristics of ductile deformation with deep dimples. However, brittle features prevail on the fractured surface of the mixed layer of coating plus oxidation corrosion product. Micro cracks were observed between the mixed layer and the AM50 alloy substrate induced by corrosion and within the mixed layer induced by EPO process, which could be responsible for the brittle fracture.
