Abstract
Corrosion properties of sputter deposited MoSi2, SiC, Mo-Si-N (MoSi2.2N2.5)
and nanolayered Mo-Si-N/SiC coatings on Fe37 low carbon steel have been
studied using electrochemical polarization measurements in 1 N H2SO4
solution. A decrease in both critical current density for passivation
and minimum current in passive state was observed in annealed
nanolayered Mo-Si-N/SiC coating compared to each of its constituents
alone as single layer coating. On contrary to MoSi2 coating,
only slight increase in critical current density was observed in Mo-Si-N
coated sample after annealing. Molybdenum disilicide source material
has good thermal and electrical conductivity, which allows effective
dc-magnetron sputter deposition. Therefore this is a relatively simple
method to produce amorphous coatings which have a high crystallization
temperature and promising properties for corrosion applications
