Abstract (MnCu)3O4 spinel coatings are good candidates for Cr-positioning protection on stainless steel interconnect. The spinel coatings can be formed by sputtering MnCu followed by a hot oxidation treatment. To understand how the elements diffuse in the MnCu-steel system, a homogenization diffusion-couple model was built with consideration for Mn oxidation at the coating surface. According to the simulation, the diffusion of Fe from the steel substrate to the MnCu coating occurred while Cr was almost trapped under the MnCu coating. Cu-rich metallic phase formed under the Mn-oxide layer early in the process. The solid solubility of Cr in such Cu phase was very low which can function as a Cr blocker so that Cr external oxidation can be inhibited. The inward diffusion of Mn from the coating to the substrate was caused by the formation of a Mn concentration peak at the interface which, based on thermodynamic simulations, was probably due to the dissolution of Mn with Fe and Cr.

AbstractEffects of heat treatment on the mechanical properties of Ni films on 430 stainless steel substrate were investigated. The Ni films were annealed at heat treatment temperatures ranging from 0 °C to 800 °C for 2 h. The surface morphology, composition, and texture orientation of Ni films were studied by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, and X-ray diffraction. The load–indentation depth curves of Ni films before and after heat treatment were measured by using nanoindentation method. In conjunction with finite element modeling and dimensional analysis, the stress–strain relationships of Ni films on 430 stainless steel substrate at different temperatures are successfully obtained by using a power-law hardening model.

In this study we present the results of two experiments. In the first one, a Ta–Al–SS (stainless steel (SS)) multilayer coating structure was prepared using plasma spraying equipment to investigate the coating structure and interface properties. In the second one, Ta–Al on multilayer glass was prepared using the sputtering process to measure the thickness effect of thin film on electromagnetic wave shielding (EMI) characteristics and on the design of high-power switchboard covers. According to the experimental results, the multilayer structure of Ta–Al on SS improves the mechanical properties of a stainless steel plate by enhancing the explosion-proof property. An appropriate thickness of the plasma-sprayed pure aluminum layer can increase the adhesion to the stainless steel substrate and buffer the stress effect. After heat treatment (annealing), the Ta–Al–SS multilayer structural characteristics are excellent and suitable for shielding effects at different temperatures and humidity, which can be used as a reference for the engineering application of communication rooms and base power stations. According to EMI test of multi-coated glass (Ta–Al–glass), by increasing the thickness of Ta layer, we cannot effectively improve full-frequency EMI shielding with improved shielding at low-mid frequency condition. In addition, the Ta–Al interface formation of an Al–Ta–O compound layer can improve the adiabatic effect to reduce the thermal conductivity.

In order to prepare a new type of anode material, stainless steel was selected as substrate material. The β-PbO2 coating on stainless steel substrate was prepared under the appropriate plating solution, and the PbO2-MnO2 coating was prepared with thermal decomposition. The crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction; Surface morphology was test by Scanning Electron Microscopy; the energy spectrum was used to determine element mass-fraction and the ratio of atomic number of the coatings.

Artificial material such as stainless steel (SS) is widely used for orthopaedic applications owing to its superior properties, ease of fabrication and lower cost. However, in the body environment, stainless steel can leach toxic elements such as nickel and chromium. To prevent this, a hydroxyapatite (HAp) coating having chemical characteristics very similar to the human bone was deposited on a medical-grade UNS S31254 austenitic stainless steel by a Low-velocity oxy-fuel spray gun (LVOF). The coating was characterised by using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FTIR). The adhesion strength, microhardness and corrosion behaviour were studied using the Tensometre, Vickers microhardness tester and potentiodynamic polarisation with electrochemical impedance spectroscope. The bacterial adhesion and bioactivity of the coating were also evaluated. The LVOF sprayed HAp coating has shown better corrosion resistance, higher bioactivity and higher hardness than the uncoated steel. The presence of tricalcium phosphate, octa-calcium phosphate (OCP) and tetra-calcium phosphate (TTCP) was found in the coating. LVOF sprayed HAp coating is also found suitable in lowering the bacterial adhesion on the steel substrate.
