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
