Abstract
Four types of CrN coating were deposited on type 316L stainless steel by magnetron sputtering physical vapor deposition (PVD) for use in bipolar plates. Four samples deposited at various bias voltages were evaluated under potentiodynamic, potentiostatic, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) conditions. EIS data were monitored for 96 h in an aerated corrosive environment at 70°C to determine coating performance at +600 mV application. The electrochemical behavior of the coatings was enhanced with decreasing bias voltage. The CrN films on the 316L stainless steel substrate exhibited high protective efficiency, that is, increasing corrosion resistance with decreasing bias voltage. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the formation of crystalline-refined CrN(200) at a low bias voltage.
