Abstract

Niobium coatings vacuum plasma sprayed under an inert atmosphere onto steel substrates are shown to be dense and free from visible oxide. Electrochemical analysis in deaerated 0.5 M and 4 M hydrochloric acid solutions indicated that vacuum plasma-sprayed niobium coatings are highly resistant to both general and local corrosion. Cyclic voltammetry in deaerated 4 M hydrochloric acid showed no breakdown during the anodic potentiodynamic sweep, behavior similar to that observed for pure niobium foil. The feasibility of applying low-pressure-plasma-sprayed niobium coatings for the protection of steel substrates in highly aggressive hydrochloric acid solutions was established.
