Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Materials entitled "Corrosion Resistance and Surface Treatment of Stainless Steels" will concern the broadly understood surface treatment of stainless steel in order to increase its mechanical properties with unchanged or improved corrosion resistance. Glow discharge processes such as low-temperature nitriding and oxynitriding make it possible to achieve these goals, just like hybrid treatments combining, for example, PVD or CVD processes with diffusion processes, ensuring the formation of surface layers with good adhesion to the steel substrate. This Special Issue will also publish articles on other surface treatments that will ensure the achievement of the required goals. The publications focusing on the influence of a specific microstructure of the surface layers formed in a specific treatment on the properties of stainless steel, in particular on its corrosion resistance determined by polarization and impedance methods, will be preferred. Research on the topography and surface roughness as well as the chemical and phase composition of the surface layer should provide information on the mechanism of increasing the corrosion resistance of stainless steel.

An NbN coating was produced on AISI 316L steel using reactive DC magnetron sputtering. The effects of oxidation of the NbN coating in air on the microstructure, mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, contact angle and bioactivity were investigated. Phase composition was determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), the coatings’ cross-sectional microstructure and thickness including surface morphology using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), microhardness via the Vickers method, corrosion by means of a potentiodynamic polarisation test in Ringer’s solution and bioactivity by observation in an SBF solution, while the contact angle was studied using a goniometer. The NbN coating and the oxidised coating were shown to demonstrate a Ca/P ratio close to that of hydroxyapatite, as well as increased microhardness and corrosion resistance. The best combination of mechanical, corrosion, bioactivity and hydrophilic properties was demonstrated by the air oxidised NbN coating, which featured an orthorhombic Nb2O5 structure in the top, surface layer.

The brittle failure of ceramic coatings limits their application in many fields. To address this issue, a novel armoured ceramic coating was developed to suppress brittle failure. First, an interconnected frame microstructure was micromachined onto the surface of a mild steel substrate using a nanosecond laser. Subsequently, a polymer-derived ceramic slurry was sprayed and sintered to obtain an armoured ceramic coating. The laser-micromachined burr-like microstructure of the substrate facilitated adhesion between the coating and the substrate. The results of the mechanical properties test showed that the armoured coating could withstand more than 20 cycles of water-cooled thermal shock at 600 °C, and the peeling area of the armoured coating was approximately three times less than that of the unarmoured coating under a normal load of 1471 N. The laboratory and field corrosion test results indicated that at high temperatures, the corrosion resistance of the armoured coating was comparable with that of the unarmoured coating and was approximately 10 times higher than that of the uncoated sample. The proposed method will aid in suppressing the brittle failure of ceramic coatings and broaden their scope of application in different fields. Full article

In this paper, we present a sustainable approach for the creation of superhydrophobic (SP) coating on a stainless-steel substrate based on a biological metal–organic framework (MOF). The MOF was synthesized using aspartic acid as a linker and copper ions as a core metal. Two SP coatings were well constructed on stainless steel utilizing electrodeposition of nickel (Ni) and nickel altered by MOF (Ni@Bio-MOF) coatings followed by soaking in a solution of stearic acid in ethanol. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrate that the stearic acid-grafted nickel coating (Ni@SA) and the stearic acid-grafted Ni@Bio-MOF composite (Ni@Bio-MOF@SA), were effectively deposited on the stainless steel. The wettability findings displayed that the water contact angle of Ni@SA and Ni@Cu-As MOF@SA are 160° ± 1.1°, and 168° ± 1.2°, respectively. The prepared SP coating was also found to be chemically and mechanically stable. The results show that the Ni@SA coating maintains SP characteristics in a pH range of 3–11 while the Ni@Cu-As MOF@SA coating retained SP characteristics in a pH range of 1–13. Additionally, the superhydrophobic Ni@SA coating demonstrated SP characteristics up to a length of abrasion equal to 1300 mm, while the Ni@Cu-As MOF@SA coating exhibited SP characteristics up to a length of abrasion equal to 2700 mm. Furthermore, the Ni@SA and Ni@Cu-As MOF@SA coatings exhibited significantly improved corrosion protection in a 0.5 M NaCl solution compared with bare stainless steel, with protection efficiencies of approximately 94% and 99%, respectively. The results of this study demonstrate that the proposed approach is a promising method for the fabrication of eco-friendly and corrosion-resistant SP coatings on stainless steel substrate.
