Nitrocarburized coating by plasma electrolytic saturation, PEN/C coatings, have been proposed to increase the corrosion and wear resistance of steel by using a process of low-temperature hydrostatic plasma. The objective of this work is to analyse the wear and corrosion resistance of PEN/C coatings on SAE 1045 steel, using the electrochemical slurry erosion wear test (ESEWT). This test allows the evaluation of the simultaneous effect of erosion wear and electrochemical behaviour on this coating. Thus, it was possible to evaluate the erosive and corrosive effect and the synergy of these phenomena on the PEN/C coated SAE 1045 mass loss rates. ESEWT tests were performed at different times and under different electrochemical conditions: under cathodic protection and open circuit potential (OCP). The PEN/C coating increased the corrosion resistance of SAE 1045. Synergy between the erosive wear and corrosion was the main factor in the mass loss rates of both analysed systems. The synergistic mechanism of the substrate occurred by removing the corrosion product and by activating the surface generated by the erosive process of the particles. The synergistic mechanism of the PEN/C coating occurred with the removal of inherent surface irregularities through the erosive process, combined with localized corrosion. saturation PENC PEN C lowtemperature low temperature 104 ESEWT. .

DIN 1.4110 martensitic stainless steel is largely used in the cutlery industry due to its high corrosion resistance associated with high mechanical resistance. However, when this material works under corrosion and wear conditions at the same time, their synergistic effect can accelerate the degradation process of the alloy. Cryogenic heat treatments have been proposed to improve the dimensional stability and mechanical properties, since they minimize the amount of retained austenite. The aim of this work is to study the effect of deep cryogenic heat treatment at -80 ºC and at -196 ºC on the corrosion resistance and tribocorrosion behavior of DIN 1.4110 martensitic stainless steel. The microstructure, hardness, corrosion resistance and tribocorrosion behavior were evaluated. Although the heat-treated samples presented higher hardness and lower corrosion current density (icorr) compared to samples in spheroidized condition, their material removal under tribocorrosion conditions increased, which demonstrated the synergy between corrosion and wear.

The present study aimed to create and characterize niobium and niobium-iron 60% coatings applied to steel API 5L X70 using the hypersonic thermal spray process (HVOF). The morphologies of the coatings were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and profilometry, while the coatings' hardnesses was evaluated using the Vickers hardness test. The coatings' corrosion resistance was evaluated by monitoring their open circuit potential and potentiodynamic polarization and performing electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in a 0. 05 M NaCl solution. The results showed that the niobium-iron coating contained minor porosity regions, while such defects occurred over large regions of the niobium coating. In terms of corrosion resistance, the coatings obtained in this work promoted a reduction in the substrate's corrosion rate, but the presence of discontinuities such as porosity compromised the barrier effects of these coatings.
