| Abstract | ||
| Sol gel nano ceramic coatings have been applied on stainless steel to develop their biological characteristics and increase resistance to corrosion and wear. In this work nine electrochemical parameters were calculated, adopted to set a comprehensive evaluation map for protective properties of the coatings obtained based on occurrence degree of cracks, porosity, general and localized corrosion by using d.c. Potentiostate utilized for measuring the polarization curve in 3.5% NaCl solution at 250C for a single alumina layer deposited on stainless steel specimens by the dipping technique from four solutions containing different alumina concentration 0.25, 0.26, 0.61 and 0.93 mole/liter prepared by dissolving aluminum isopropoxide in water, the coats were then heat treated to 6000C. The results showed the possibility of obtaining clear protective properties that facilitate the comparison between the types of thin coatings deposited on the surfaces of the stainless steel by sol gel method. | ||
