The Corrosion Characterization of Ti-Si-C Thin Films Obtained by Magnetron Sputtering Deposition
Journal Title: RECENT - Year 2009, Vol 10, Issue 27
Abstract
Nano-composite layers, formed by a mixture of crystalline or amorphous nano-phases, which include Ti-Si-C type layers, obtained with the help of the PVD process, have attracted lately a wide interest both in research, and in the industrial applications, because of their possibility to form a protective coating with physical and chemical unique properties. With this process there can be obtained hard coatings with a high degree of toughness, with an excellent wear resistance, characterized by a low friction coefficient and a good corrosion resistance. The present paper contains both general data about the Ti-Si-C system, and the experimental results obtained from the deposition of Ti-Si-C layers on a rapid steel substrate, at low temperatures. This way, there can be seen some correlations between the deposition method used, the chemical composition and the corrosion resistance, determined using the salt fog (salt spray) chamber method.
