Abstract

Silica coating for the protection of stainless steel (SS) surfaces was prepared using tetraethoxysilane and methyltriethoxysilane as precursors via an acid-catalysed (H2SO4) sol–gel method and was deposited on ferritic SS AISI 430 by dip coating. The surface morphology was studied using a scanning electron microscope equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray, phase analysis was carried out by X-ray diffraction, and isothermal oxidation was carried out at 800 °C for 200 h. Corrosion properties were examined by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and resistance polarization methods in an aqueous medium containing 3.5 wt % NaCl. The results indicated that silica coating improved high-temperature oxidation resistance of AISI 430 in chloride media.
