[ 1 ] - Characterization of SiO2-TiO2 Coatings on 316l Stainless Steel Substrates

This paper reports nano-structured SiO2-TiO2 coatings using the sol-gel technique on 316L steel substrates. Nanoindentation, surface analysis and corrosion resistance tests were performed on different samples. The nanomechanical tests allowed to compare uncoated steel samples (Eavg = 193.24 GPa and mean hardness of 2.63 GPa and coated steel samples (Eavg = 287.38 GPa and mean hardness of 5.74 G...
