Deposition of fluoropolymer coating on stainless steel surface from plasma of glow discharge

Factors Affecting Friction Coating on Stainless Steel 304

Low carbon steels are widely used for structural applications because of its ease in fabrication and the moderate strength it posses. However, its pure corrosion resistance at normal atmosphere is a matter of serious concern.

Carbon nanotube formation directly on the surface of stainless steel materials by plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition

We have developed a method for forming carbon nanotubes (CNTs) directly on the surfaces of stainless steel materials that are important industrially. Using plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (PCVD), CNTs are formed at comparatively low temperatures, thus avoiding excessive annealing and degradation of the stainless steel. Because the catalytic metals needed for CNT formation are containe...

Water Lubrication of Stainless Steel using Reduced Graphene Oxide Coating

Lubrication of mechanical systems using water instead of conventional oil lubricants is extremely attractive from the view of resource conservation and environmental protection. However, insufficient film thickness of water due to low viscosity and chemical reaction of water with metallic materials have been a great obstacle in utilization of water as an effective lubricant. Herein, the frictio...

Chemical Surface Treatment of Stainless Steel

Alumina nanostructured coating for corrosion protection of 316L stainless steel

Nanostructured alumina thin films were coated on stainless steel by Sol-Gel dip coating method. In order to prevent crack formation, Al2O3 films were kept in a solvent bath immediately after coating to reduce the rate of drying. Effects of calcination temperature and withdrawal speed on structural properties were analyzed using XRD and SEM. Topography and thickness of coat...
