Formability and corrosion properties of metal/ceramic multilayer coated strip steels

Diagnostic of corrosion–erosion evolution for [Hf-Nitrides/V-Nitrides] n structures

“…This behavior is a characteristic of multilayered structures [22][23][24]; as a consequence of increasing bilayer number (n), the density and the interface number are also increased for a thoroughly uniform thickness of the multilayered system; thus, the number of pores is reduced. This leads to the observation that the energy required for Cl − ion movement across the coating/substrate interface with freedom is higher; therefore, the ions arriving to the substrate are less due to the change of direction experienced by Cl − ions when these find the next interface [25].…”

Corrosion resistance of multilayer coatings deposited by PVD techniques onto the brass substrate

“…Multilayer coatings feature an important group among the coatings employed for corrosion protection [14][15][16]. Such coatings are reckoned to be cathodic ones and can fulfil their task, provided they are tight and apart their own chemical stability may physically prevent penetration of the aggressive solution on the substrate.…”
