Abstract

Stainless steel is widely used due to its high resistance to corrosion, rust and stains. However, the surface hardness of stainless steel is not high. This limits its engineering applications. Graphene is a material with a very high intrinsic strength. In order to broaden the range of applications of stainless steel, coating it with graphene is a good choice to enhance its surface hardness. In this report, we have improved the surface hardness of stainless steel by growing graphene on stainless steel surface using thermal chemical vapor deposition. The growth of graphene was also studied. The results show that the growth of graphene on stainless steel can harden the surface of stainless steel.
