[ 1 ] - Growth Defects and Chromium Content Loss during the Deposition of Stainless Steel by CAE-PVD and Its Effect on the Corrosion and Passivation Behavior of the Coating

In the present study, the effects of growth defects and chromium content loss on the degradation of corrosion and passivation of cathodic arc evaporation (CAE-PVD) of stainless steel coating were investigated in 2 M sulphuric acid solution. EDS analysis indicated that the micro-particles were obtained during the coating growth. In addition, it was detected that the growth defects had poor adhes...
