    Corrosion behaviour of a SiOxNy coated and nitrided ph stainles steel
    (Elsevier, 2015) Dalibón Bähler, Eugenia Laura; Moscatelli, Mauro Nicolás; Simison, Silvia; Escalada, Lisandro; Cabo, Amado; Lasorsa, Carlos; Brühl, Sonia Patricia
    Precipitation hardening stainless steels are used in applications where wear and corrosion resistance are required. To improve the surface properties, thermochemical treatments in combination with hard coatings can be used. In this work, the corrosion behaviour of SiOxNy coatings deposited on nitrided and non-nitrided Corrax® PH stainless steel were evaluated comparing them with the behaviour of samples which were only nitrided (two different conditions of nitrogen percentage in the working gases were used). The microstructure was analyzed. Corrosion behaviour was evaluated by the Salt Spray Fog Test and cyclic potentiodynamic polarization in NaCl solution. Erosion-corrosion tests were conducted. The thickness of the coating was about 1.4 microns, and its hardness was 2300 HV. The film had better erosion and corrosion behaviour when it was deposited on the nitrided steel. This fact demonstrated that the nitrided layer results in a good interface that improves the adhesion and mechanical support.

    Corrosion resistance of AISI 316L stainless steel nitrided by three different plasma assisted techniques
    (2014-07-21) Manova, Darina; Mändl, Stephan; Brühl, Sonia Patricia; Escalada, Lisandro; Simison, Silvia
    Plasma assisted surface modification methods have been used to nitride stainless steels in order to enhance hardness and therefore the lifetime of industrial componentes. Nevertheless, the corrosion resistance is not always preserved since it thermochemical diffusion techniques. AISI 316L stainless steel was plsma nitrided using three different techniques: Low Energy Ion Implantation (LEII), Plasma Immersion Implantation (PI3) and conventional DC pulsed plasma nitriding (DCPN). For each method several parameters were tested and some of them were selected to achieve the so called S phase of about e um thickness and no nitrides precipitation. The nitrided layer was characterized with OM and SEM. Hardness was assessed on the surface with Vickers indenter and 25 g load. XRD was performed to characterize the S phase and to detect other phases if present and electrochemical corrosion tests were carried out in 3,5% NaCI solution. Although the S phase thickness in the three groups of samples was comparable, hardness was not and neither was the corrosion resistance. The PI3 samples were the hardest with the best performance in corrosion experiments, resulting in a higher breakdown potential and lower currents.
