Precursor-based composite coatings were developed as barrier coatings on steel against oxidation and corrosion using a silazane in the system SiN as a polymer material and BN particles as a passive filler. After thermal treatment in air up to 8001C, dense and very well adhered ceramic composite SiNO/BN coatings with a thickness of 12 mm were achieved. These were investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectrum, glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy, and adhesion measurements. Static oxidation tests on coated mild steel substrates up to 7001C displayed parabolic oxidation kinetics and a reduced weight gain by two orders in magnitude compared with uncoated substrates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
