Purpose: The purpose of this study is to reveal the effect of nano-Al
2 O3 particle addition on the nucleation/growth kinetics, microhardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of Co–P–xAl2 O3 nanocomposite plating. Design/methodology/approach: The kinetics and properties of Co–P–xAl2 O3 nanocomposite plating prepared by electroplating were investigated by electrochemical measurements, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Vickers microhardness measurement, SRV5 friction and wear tester and atomic force microscopy. Findings: A 12 g/L nano-Al2 O3 addition in the plating solution can transform the nucleation/growth kinetics of the plating from the 3D progressive model to the 3D instantaneous model. The microhardness of the plating increased with the increase of nano-Al2 O3 content in plating. The wear resistance of the plating did not adhere strictly to Archard's law. An even and denser corrosion product film was generated due to the finer grains, with a high corrosion resistance. Originality/value: The effect of different nano-Al2 O3 addition on the nucleation/growth kinetics and properties of Co–P–xAl2 O3 nanocomposite plating was investigated, and an anticorrosion mechanism of Co–P–xAl2 O3 nanocomposite plating was proposed.

• Electrochemical and localized corrosion behavior of a 4045/7072/3003 M/4045 Al alloy composite in NaCl solution was investigated. • Plane directions showed higher corrosion resistance than the cross-sectional surface. • The cross-section showed a complex galvanic effect among the four layers, and the galvanic coupling between 4045/7072 accelerated the dissolution of 4045. Electrochemical and localized corrosion behavior of a 4045/7072/3003 M/4045 Al alloy composite in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution was investigated from cross-sectional and plane directions by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, polarization curves, and high-resolution microscopic examination. Plane directions showed higher corrosion resistance than the cross-sectional surface, with almost all localized corrosion initiated from Si-containing inclusions. The cross-section showed a complex galvanic effect among the four layers, the galvanic coupling between 4045/7072 accelerated the dissolution of 7072 because 7072 served as the anode, however, the galvanic coupling between 3003 M/4045 protected 4045 from corrosion, indicating that 3003 M served as the anode.

Purpose: Nickel-aluminum bronze (NAB) has been widely used in ship propellers. It is always subjected to local micro-plastic deformation in service environments. This paper aims to study the influence of plastic deformation on the mechanical strength and corrosion resistance of NAB in 3.5 Wt.% NaCl solution. Design/methodology/approach: Scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction were used to analyze the microstructure of NAB alloy with different plastic deformations. Mechanical properties of the sample were measured by tensile experiment, and corrosion behavior was studied by electrochemical measurements and the long-term immersion corrosion test. Findings: Results showed that the plastic deformation caused lattice distortion but did not change the microstructure of NAB alloy. Microhardness and yield strength of NAB were significantly improved with the increase of deformation. The lattice distortion accelerated the formation of corrosion product film, which made the deformed alloy show a more positive open-circuit potential and an increased Rp. However, during the long-term immersion corrosion, the corrosion resistance of NAB alloys deteriorated with the increase of plastic deformation. This is because larger plastic deformation brought about higher internal stress in corrosion product film, which resulted in the premature peeling of the film and the loss of its protective effect on the alloy substrate. Originality/value: Tensile plastic deformations were found to cause a decline in the corrosion resistance of NAB. And the mechanism was clarified from the evolution of corrosion products during the corrosion process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• The passive film properties of Ce-added AlCoCrFeNi 2.1 alloys are studied for the first time. • Ce addition is not conducive to corrosion resistance of the AlCoCrFeNi 2.1 alloy in H 2 SO 4 solution. • Ce increases the doping density and reduces the proportion of Cr oxides in the passive film. Eutectic high-entropy alloys (EHEAs), represented by AlCoCrFeNi2.1, are considered to be promising materials. However, the study of the corrosion behavior of EHEAs remains limited, which hinders further development. This study investigated the effect of Ce addition on the electrochemical behavior and passive film properties of AlCoCrFeNi 2.1 EHEAs in H 2 SO 4 solutions. The results show that the addition of Ce changed the properties of the passive film formed on the alloys, resulting in reduction in the proportion of Cr 2 O 3 , and thereby reduced the corrosion resistance. Moreover, a higher Ce content in the EHEAs was found to correspond to a more pronounced deterioration in corrosion resistance. Compared with the film formed at 0.2 V vs SCE , the film formed at 0.5 V vs SCE exhibited more optimal physicochemical properties, leading to a decrease in the passive current density. Notably, Ce was absent in the film formed at 0.2 V vs SCE , but present at 0.5 V vs SCE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hydroxyapatite (HA) bioactive film is a standard surface modification method for biodegradable Mg alloys. However, the corrosion resistance of HA film prepared before was mediocre, and the preparation process was complicated. In this study, hydroxyapatite film was prepared for the first time on layered double hydroxides (LDHs) coated Mg alloy by hydrothermal method. The structure and composition of LDHs and HA films were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The corrosion resistance and immersion behavior of the films in simulated body fluid (SBF) were investigated by using potentiodynamic polarization curve, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The effects of different pH and calcium to phosphorus molar ratios (Ca/P ratios) of HA hydrothermal solution were investigated. The experimental results show that HA films appear in petal-like, filamentous and flower-like. The corrosion resistance of the film first increases and then decreases with the pH from weak acid to alkaline. With the increase of the Ca/P ratio, the film is gradually denser, and the protective effect is enhanced. The immersion test results show that after 7 days of immersion, the impedance modulus of the composite film is about 5 × 103 Ω·cm2, which is ten times higher than the single LDHs film. The effects of the pH and Ca/P ratio of the HA hydrothermal solution on the preparation of HA film are simply explained by thermodynamic theory. The Mg-LDHs-HA composite film provide a corrosion protection barrier for Mg substrate and HA film is biologically active. The barrier effect and the mineralization behavior provide a better corrosion protection for Mg substrate. [Display omitted] • HA film was prepared for the first time on LDHs-coated Mg alloy. • The preparation method of the composite film is simple. • Mg-LDHs-HA composite film exhibits durable corrosion resistance in SBF solution. • The effects of pH and Ca/P ratio were explained using thermodynamic theory.

ZnO@ZIF-8 films were prepared on Q235 steel surface through solvothermal reaction by pre-electrodepositing ZnO films and modified with stearic acid (SA). The surface morphology, elements content, crystal structure and chemical structure of films were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The wettability of films was measured by water contact angle meter. The corrosion behavior of films was tested by Electrochemical tests. ZnO films show hexagonal nanotubular morphology, having the best compactness and corrosion resistance at deposition current density of 2.3 mA/cm2 with the protection efficiency of 90.11%. After solvothermal reaction, ZIF-8 grains are formed and clad ZnO nanotubes, forming a contact film to prevent corrosive ions attacking steel efficiently. ZnO@ZIF-8 films have the best compactness and corrosion resistance at Zn2+ concentration of 0.06 mol/L with the protection efficiency of 99.83%. But the corrosion resistance of ZnO@ZIF-8 film declines quickly for the water molecules can get inside the film and destroy the bond between ZIF-8 grains. Thus, SA was grafted to ZnO@ZIF-8 film to enhance its hydrophobicity. After SA modification, the protection efficiency reaches 99.99% and maintains at 95.29% after 14 days immersion in the solution of 3.5 wt.% NaCl. [Display omitted] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A structure of {[(Co-DLC)/DLC] X } n Multilayered Nanocomposite Films (MNF) is designed by inserting pure DLC high-resistance layers into Co-DLC nanocomposite film, which consists of alternating Co-DLC and DLC layers were prepared by magnetron sputtering. The electrochemical behavior and magnetic property of the films are modulated by varying the number of deposition cycles (n) and the thickness of one single-cycle (X). The electrochemical results show that this MNF structure significantly improves the corrosion resistance of the films owing to the clear interfaces, which block the micropores penetrating the films. Compared to the co-sputtering film, as the number of cycles n increases to 7, the corrosion resistance is enhanced by one order of magnitude from 2.3 × 104 to 2.2 × 105 Ω·cm2. However, the interfaces between the Co-DLC and DLC layer become blurred when the thickness of one single-cycle X is lower than 30 nm, and the corrosion resistance decreases to 3.7 × 104 Ω·cm2. In terms of magnetism, the multilayer structure helps to regulate the homogeneity of Co particle size. As X increases from 30 to 100 nm, the Co particle size increases from 2.7 to 4.7 nm, and the saturation magnetization intensity (M s) of superparamagnetic property in the films increases from 2.8 to 8.2 mT. As X increases, the remanent magnetization ratio (M r / M s) decreases and reaches 0.011 at X = 100 nm, which is about one order of magnitude smaller than that of the co-sputtering film. This result indicates that the MNF have better superparamagnetic property. It is noteworthy that {[(Co-DLC)/DLC] X } n MNF with X ranging from 100 to 40 nm and n ranging from 3 to 7 can achieve high corrosion resistance and superparamagnetic property, simultaneously. • {[(Co-DLC)/DLC] X } n multilayered nanocomposite films (MNF) are constructed. • Micropores are blocked by multilayer interfaces to improve corrosion resistance. • High anticorrosion and superparamagnetic property are achieved, simultaneously.

[Display omitted] • ZnO resistive switching film is prepared by one-step hydrothermal method. • Application of electric field can promote the formation of oxygen-vacancy in film. • High-low resistive switching behavior of film varies with oxygen vacancy content. ZnO resistive switching films were prepared on the surface of SS304 using hydrothermal method combined with heat treatment. The surface and cross-sectional morphology, composition, oxygen vacancy content and semiconductor type of ZnO films were characterized. The corrosion resistance and resistance switching properties of ZnO films were determined by electrochemical methods. The oxygen vacancy formation energy, surface adsorption energy and diffusion barrier of ZnO system were calculated using first-principles. The results show that the samples with 0.5 mol/L Zn2+ and 4 mol/L NaOH have the best performance, and its corrosion resistance efficiency can reach more than 99.5 %. Calculations show that the ZnO film containing oxygen vacancies still prevents the entry of Cl−, and applied electric field promotes the formation of oxygen vacancies and conductive filaments. Thus, polarization-immersion treatment can adjust the oxygen vacancy content in film, which enables film to switch between high and low resistance states, realizing the cyclic resistance-switching performance of film and greatly extending service life.

The nickel-ferric layered double hydroxides (NiFe-LDHs) film which are commonly used as catalysts was fabricated on Q235 steel in-situ via two-step hydrothermal method. And the superhydrophobic NiFe-LDH-PFDTES film was obtained by 1 H, 1 H, 2 H, 2 H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane (PFDTES) modification. To a certain extent, the application of NiFe-LDHs has been broadened. The structure and composition of NiFe-LDHs film and NiFe-LDH-PFDTES film were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). The wettability of films was analyzed by water contact angle testing. And the corrosion resistance of NiFe-LDHs and NiFe-LDH-PFDTES film in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution were measured by using potentiodynamic polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The results show that NiFe-LDHs and NiFe-LDH-PFDTES film were successfully prepared on the surface of Q235 steel. By adjusting the preparation conditions, the NiFe-LDH-PFDTES film with optimal corrosion resistance was prepared in the condition containing the hydrothermal solution concentration is 1 unit and hydrothermal time for 6 h. The hydrophobicity changes little with the hydrothermal parameters, and all reach the state of superhydrophobic, the contact angle is greater than 150°, the sliding angle is less than 1°. For the superhydrophobic film, NiFe-LDHs has excellent synergy with PFDTES, covering of an "air film" on the rough structure of LDHs, blocking the solution from contact with the substrate, thereby providing corrosion resistance. NiFe-LDH-PFDTES film exhibits much better corrosion protective performance than NiFe-LDHs film in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, the impedance modulus is increased about 4–5 orders of magnitude compared with Q235 steel, and the highest protection efficiency can reach 99.99%.

[Display omitted] • Al x Zn 1- x O resistive switching film was successfully prepared on SS304 steel by sol–gel method. • Compared with substrate, Al x Zn 1- x O films have excellent corrosion resistance with lower corrosion current density and higher impedance value. • The film has excellent resistance switching performance. Regulating the concentration of oxygen vacancies in the film by the immersion-polarization process, the prepared film could be varied between the high resistance state and low resistance state, allowing the film to be recycled and thus extending its service life. Al x Zn 1- x O films were prepared on SS304 by using sol–gel method combined with spinning and heat treatment. The surface morphology, composition and structure of films were observed and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometer and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The oxygen vacancy content and semiconductor type of Al x Zn 1- x O films were determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electronic para -magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Mott-Schottky curve and density function theoretical calculation. The corrosion resistance and resistive switching performance of Al x Zn 1- x O films were measured by using electrochemical methods and immersion-polarisation experiments. The results show that the prepared Al x Zn 1- x O films are in n -type semiconductor material with a homogeneous and dense surface, the oxygen vacancy content is decreased with the increasing of Al dopping content. The corrosive resistance of Al x Zn 1- x O film was increased with the increasing of Al doping content with the best corrosion resistance at the doping content of 4% Al. During the immersion process, the corrosion resistance of Al x Zn 1- x O film was firstly increased and then decreased. The corrosion resistance of Al x Zn 1- x O films could be switched in the high and low resistance states under the immersion-polarization process by adjusting of the oxygen vacancy content in film.

Co-Diamond Like Carbon (Co-DLC) nanocomposite film is considered as a potential biosensor material owing to its various properties such as corrosion resistance and superparamagnetic property. In this work, by adjusting the substrate temperature from 298 to 673 K, the microstructure of Co-DLC nanocomposite film is modulated. With the rising of the substrate temperature, Co particle size increases from 3.8 to 6.4 nm and the crystallinity is improved; the sp2/sp3 ratio of the film is increased, which reduces micropores for penetration of corrosive entities. As a result, the saturation magnetization of superparamagnetic property is enhanced by 2.4 times from 0.11 to 0.26 T, and the total corrosion resistance of the film is enhanced by more than 300 times from 3.5 × 104 to 1.1 × 107 Ω·cm2. By establishing the mechanism model, the improvement of magnetic properties and corrosion resistance caused by microstructure controlling in Co-DLC nanocomposite film is reasonably explained. [Display omitted] • Large Co particle size and high crystallinity induced by high substrate temperature • Reduced micropores for corrosive entities penetration by increased sp2 clusters • 2.4-time superparamagnetic magnetization and 300-time corrosion resistance realized • High magnetic properties and corrosion resistance achieved simultaneously [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Zn 1- x Cr x O resistive switching film with different Cr content was prepared on SS304 substrate by sol–gel method combined with spin plating and heat treatment. The surface morphology, composition, structure, semiconductor type and oxygen vacancy concentration of Zn 1- x Cr x O films were observed and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Mott-Schottky curves, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (ESR) and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. And the corrosion resistance of Zn 1- x Cr x O film were investigated by polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that the prepared Zn 1- x Cr x O films have a uniform dense surface which belongs to n -type semiconductor type, and the oxygen vacancy concentration in the films increases with the increase of Cr content. With the increasing of Cr content, the corrosion resistance of films is decreased. During the immersion process, the corrosion resistance of Zn 1- x Cr x O film is firstly increased and then decreased with increasing immersion time. By applying immersion and polarization treatment the corrosion resistance of Zn 1- x Cr x O film could be regulated between the high and low resistance states (HRS and LRS) due to the creation and disappearance of oxygen vacancies in the film.

Nickel alloy 690 (Ni690) were fabricated by wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) with three kinds of TiC particles adding contents (no TiC addition, 0.5 wt% TiC, 1.0 wt% TiC) based on cold metal transfer (CMT) technology. The effects of TiC particles adding content on the microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance were investigated. After adding 1.0 wt% TiC particles, the average length of the γ grains decreased from 301 ± 61 µm to 114 ± 15 µm and the structure of grains changed from columnar dendrite into equiaxed dendritic at the top of each layer, which is results of the heterogeneous nucleation and increase of constitutional supercooling caused by TiC particles. The difference between horizontal and vertical mechanical properties of WAAM Ni690 component disappeared because the heterogeneous nucleation caused by TiC particles prevented the epitaxial growth. The ultimate tensile strength of the WAAM 1.0TiC-Ni690 component reached 590 MPa in both directions, which increased 10 % compared with no TiC addition. The improvement of mechanical properties was owing to the grain refinement and the formation of reinforcing TiC/(Ti, Nb)C second-phase particles. The potentiodynamic polarization tests showed that the improved corrosion resistance with the increased content of TiC particles. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests results showed that due to the refined γ columnar grains providing more nucleation sites, a denser and thicker passive film was formed, which improved the corrosion resistance. The composition of the passive film was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results reflected the more content of oxides and hydroxides of Cr in the passive film of WAAM 1.0TiC-Ni690 sample represented the denser passive film and better corrosion resistance. • Nickel alloy 690 (Ni690) were fabricated by wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) with different kinds of TiC particles adding contents. The TiC particles improved the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance • With the addition of TiC particles, the anisotropy in strength of WAAM Ni690 component disappeared for heterogeneous nucleation and the reinforcing TiC/(Ti, Nb)C particles improved the strength of WAAM 1.0TiC-Ni690 component in both directions reaching 590 MPa. • The refiner columnar γ grains offered more nucleation sites on the grain boundaries for the formation of thicker passive film. The more content of oxides and hydroxides of Cr in the passive film of WAAM 1.0TiC-Ni690 component represented the denser passive film and better corrosion resistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The surface morphology, structure and wettability of composite coating were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and sessile water droplet static contact angle. The corrosion resistance and healing performance of PCL coatings was determined by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and photothermal tests. Results indicate that MIL-53@TA/PCL coating possesses a flatter surface, a higher corrosion resistance and better photothermal effect than that of blank PCL coating and MIL-53/PCL coating. Under the near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation with the wave length of 808 nm, the scratched MIL-53@TA/PCL coating could be healed within 10 min because of the excellent photothermal conversion ability of MIL-53@TA component.

Various strategies have been developed to fabricate mechanical robust superhydrophobic membranes on the original substrates. However, for superhydrophobic coatings that have to be homologous to the inherently fragile substrate, their mechanical stability problems have not been satisfactorily solved. Herein, we prepared three hierarchical superhydrophobic Cu coating via facile pulse electrodeposition with microstructure size of 10–15, 30–40, and 60–70 µm, respectively. The resulting superhydrophobic coatings simultaneously exhibit excellent self-cleaning, mechanical robustness, and corrosion resistance. A hydrophobic mechanism suitable for worn superhydrophobic surfaces was proposed, which can well analyze the influence of microstructure changes on wettability. Moreover, these three coatings can withstand 15, 50, and 100 cycles of sandpaper abrasion, respectively, as the size of the microstructure increases. The results demonstrate a size effect of microstructure, which means surfaces with larger-sized microstructures can better maintain their superhydrophobicity under mechanical damage. Our findings offer a reference for improving the mechanical robustness of other superhydrophobic coatings that are homologous to the substrate. [Display omitted] • Three superhydrophobic Cu coatings with mechanical robustness, self-cleaning, and corrosion resistance were fabricated. • A hydrophobic mechanism suitable for worn superhydrophobic surfaces was proposed. • The size effect of microstructure on resisting mechanical damage was investigated. • A strategy in improving the mechanical stability of fragile coatings homologous to the substrate was found.

[Display omitted] • A superhydrophobic hierarchical Cu cone-flower structure was fabricated. • Correlation of roughness skewness and void volume ratio to wettability was studied. • A new hydrophobic model was proposed to explain effect of structural parameters. Superhydrophobic films have been successfully prepared on various substrates by finely controlling surface micro/nanostructure's roughness and reducing surface energy. However, there is no unified conclusion about the correlation of surface roughness and 3D volume parameters to wettability. Herein, we fabricated a superhydrophobic film composed of hierarchical Cu cone-flowers via facile one-step pulse electrodeposition with a 30% duty cycle for 20 min. Based on this film, the relationship between roughness/volume parameters and hydrophobicity was well studied. The resulting cone-flower film exhibits excellent corrosion resistance and self-cleaning properties due to a high water contact angle (WCA) of ~160° and a low sliding angle (SA) of ~3°. The large roughness skewness (Rsk = 0.7–1.3) and void volume ratio (Vvc/Vmc > 1.5) are shown to be more desirable to achieve superhydrophobic surfaces. Moreover, a new hydrophobic model is proposed to explain the above results, which means that the nanoscale air cushions share most of the gravity of water droplets to help microscale air cushions closer to the Cassie state. Further experiments by adding or destroying the nanostructures to observe the change of hydrophobicity well verified our conjecture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• Pure Zn and Zn-epoxy powder coatings was prepared by zincate electrodeposition. • The addition of epoxy powder improves microstructures and reduce roughness. • The incorporation of epoxy powder enhances the corrosion resistance. • The incorporation of epoxy powder hinders the hydrogen permeation. • The addition of epoxy powder improves the wear resistance. To improve the corrosion and wear resistance of the coating and reduce the effect of hydrogen penetration on the performance of galvanized steel, Zinc-epoxy powder (EP) composite coatings were prepared by alkaline zincate electrodeposition. The results show that the Zn-6 g/L EP coating has the lowest root mean square roughness of 281.99 A. The incorporation of EP enhances the corrosion resistance of the coating. The Zn-6 g/L EP coating has the largest coating resistance and charge transfer resistance. The incorporation of EP can hinder the hydrogen permeation, which may reduce the hydrogen embrittlement of galvanized steel. Tribological experiment shows that the wear resistance of the composite coating is improved. The friction coefficient and wear scar width of the Zn-12 g/L EP coating is the lowest.

To realize the potential application of the Co-DLC magnetic nanocomposite film in biosensor, it is necessary to obtain superparamagnetic property with high magnetization and good corrosion resistance in Co-DLC film. However, the cobalt carbide produced in the traditional preparation process will deteriorate the superparamagnetic property of Co-DLC film. To suppress the formation of cobalt carbide, strong magnetic target co-sputtering has been induced to prepare the Co-DLC nanocomposite films in this work. The results show that the cobalt particles are distributed in the amorphous DLC matrix. Most of cobalt exists in the form of metallic cobalt, and no cobalt carbide is formed during the film deposition process. The films maintain superparamagnetic property, which fits well with the Langevin equation. The saturation magnetization of the Co-DLC films increases with the increase of cobalt content, which reaches 0.068 T at cobalt content of 36 at. %. Meanwhile, when the cobalt content increases, the degree of graphitization of the film increases, which leads to a decrease in corrosion resistance of the film. Whereas, the polarization resistance of Co-DLC nanocomposite film is still higher than 1.03 × 105 Ω·cm2. The Co-DLC nanocomposite films with cobalt content between 29 and 36 at. % exhibit superparamagnetic property with high saturation magnetization and corrosion resistance. [Display omitted] • The method of strong magnetic target co-sputtering inhibits the formation of cobalt carbides in Co-DLC films successfully. • These films maintain superparamagnetic property, which is fitted well with Langevin equation. • The corrosion resistance of the Co-DLC film is above 10 times higher than that of the cobalt film. • The films with cobalt content between 29 and 36 at. % exhibit both high saturation magnetization and corrosion resistance.
