Abstract

ZrC films with high hardness were deposited on A3 steel by ion-beam-assisted deposition and had a corrosion rate more than two orders less and a corrosion potential 0.19 V greater than those of the bare A3 steel. The corrosion current of ZrC films was 10 times less and the polarization resistance at least 7.82 times higher than those of both Teflon and ZrN films, respectively. The experimental results confirmed that ZrC films notably enhanced the corrosion resistance of steels.
