Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate and compare the protective, anticorrosion properties of silane- and polyrhodanine-based bilayer coatings pRh/IBTES and IBTES/pRh on an X20Cr13 stainless steel substrate. Design/methodology/approach IBTES/pRh and pRh/IBTES have been coated using the dip-coating method and the cyclic voltammetry technique. The electrochemical measurements have been used to assess the anticorrosion properties of the resulting bilayer coatings. Morphological and chemical characterizations have been performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Findings The results clearly show that the combination of both the deposits of polyrhodanine and silane yields a more protective structure that affords better protection against corrosion with time. The best barrier properties are achieved by the substrates coated with polyrhodanine film upon which silane is subsequently adsorbed – the pRh/IBTES bilayer coating. Originality/value The paper reveals that the procedure of modification of silane films with polyrhodanine had a marked effect on the anti-corrosive performance of the obtained two types of bilayers coatings (pRh/IBTES, IBTES/pRh) applied on a stainless steel surface. The coating where polyrhodanine was first electrodeposited on the steel surface and then the silane layer adsorbed (pRh/IBTES) achieved the best protective properties.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the variations of composition and properties of the passive film on 316 L stainless steel surface in 80°C, 0.5 mol L-1 H2SO4 + 2 mg L-1 NaF solution, is helpful to understand the mechanisms of corrosion resistancethe of plated Pd on 316 L ss. Design/methodology/approach The variations of composition and properties of the passive film on 316 L stainless steel surface in 80°C, 0.5 mol L-1 H2SO4 + 2 mg L-1 NaF solution after connected to Pd electrode were studied with methods of potential monitor, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis and electrochemical impedance spectrum (EIS) measurement. Findings By connecting to a Pd electrode, the potential of the SS sample increased from the active region to the passive region. By connecting to the Pd electrode, the contents of Cr, Cr(OH)3 and Fe3O4 in passive film increased obviously. With increased Pd/SS area ratio, the Cr(OH)3 content in passive film increased but the Fe3O4 content changed little. The results show that after connecting to Pd the corrosion resistance of the passive film on 316 L stainless steel increases obviously, which may be attributed to the more compact passive film because of higher Cr, Cr(OH)3 and Fe3O4 contents and less point defects in the film. Originality/value The effects and mechanism of Pd on passivation of SS was studied.

WC-reinforced Ni60 composite coatings with different types of WC particles were prepared on 304 stainless steel surface by laser cladding. The influences of spherical WC, shaped WC, and flocculent WC on the microstructures and properties of composite coatings were investigated. The results showed that three types of WC particles distribute differently in the cladding coatings, with spherical WC particles stacking at the bottom, shaped WC aggregating at middle and lower parts, with flocculent WC particles dispersing homogeneously. The hardnesses, wear resistances, corrosion resistances, and thermal shock resistances of the coatings are significantly improved compared with the stainless steel substrate, regardless of the type of WC that is added, and especially with regard to the microhardness of the cladding coating; the addition of spherical or shaped WC particles can be up to 2000 HV0.05 in some areas. Flocculent WC, shaped WC, and spherical WC demonstrate large to small improvements in that order. From the results mentioned above, the addition of flocculent WC can produce a cladding coating with a uniform distribution of WC that is of higher quality compared with those from spherical WC and shaped WC.

Nano-structured TiO2 coating was constructed through sol-gel process and dip-coating method on the stainless steel surface using tetra-n-butyl titanate as precursor. The phase and the crystallographic structure of the TiO2 coating were characterized by an X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and the surface topography and structures of the TiO2 coating were characterized by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The superhydrophobic property of the TiO2 coating modified with the fluoroalkylsilane (FAS, CF3(CF2)7CH2CH2Si(OCH3)3) was characterized by the water contact angles. It was observed that the TiO2 coating showed superhydrophobicity with water contact angle 155.3° after modifying with FAS, and the superhydrophobicity was corrosion-resistance.

The paper reports the results of the examination of the protective properties of silane coatings based on vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) and ethanol (EtOH), doped with the following electrolytes: acetic acid (AcOH), lithium perchlorate LiClO4, sulphuric acid (VI) H2SO4 and ammonia NH3. The coatings were deposited on stainless steel X20Cr13 by the sol–gel dip-coating method. The obtained VTMS/EtOH/Electrolyte coatings were characterized in terms of corrosion resistance, surface morphology and adhesion to the steel substrate. Corrosion tests were conducted in sulphate media acidified up to pH = 2 with and without chloride ions Cl−, respectively. The effectiveness of corrosion protection was determined using potentiometric curves. It has been demonstrated that the coatings under study slow down the processes of corrosion of the steel substrate, thus effectively protecting it against corrosion.

Binary microstructures at both micro- and nano-scale are constructed by the electrochemical depositing Ni and TiO2 on the stainless steel surface. Superhydrophobicity is achieved with a water contact angle greater than 150° after modifying the textured surface with fluoroalkylsilane (FAS-17, CF3(CF2)7CH2CH2Si(OCH3)3). The morphology of the Ni-TiO2 compound coating is studied by scanning electron microscopy.

The compatibility between phase change alloys and container steels at the high temperature is limiting their potential applications in energy storage systems. In this paper, we investigated the erosion behavior of Al-12Si-2Mg-15Cu alloy against 304 stainless steel surface. The effect of temperature and immersion time on the erosion behavior was studied. The erosion rate and erosion thickness increased with the temperature increasing. With the increase of time, the erosion layer thickness increased, but the erosion rate decreased. The mechanisms which accounted for the formation and growth of diffusion layer were studied. The results show that the corrosion is mainly due to the diffusion of Al. The presence of Si element resists the growth of Fe-Al compounds and make erosion layer brittle. Ni-compounds can decrease the diffusion rate of Al atoms. Furthermore, the erosion layer adjacent to the steel substrate is brittle and its micro-hardness is higher.
