Abstract: | In this investigation, a MoO 3 -SiO 2 nanocomposite coating was developed on a 316L stainless steel (SS) substrate by double-cathode glow discharge deposition. Chemical valence states, phase composition and microstructure features of the nanocomposite coating were studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that the nanocomposite coating was composed of a mixture of crystalline MoO 3 and amorphous phases, in which amorphous SiO 2 phase was embedded between the hexagonal-structured MoO 3 grains with an average grain size of ∼8.4 nm. Nanoindentation and scratch tests, together with SEM and TEM observation of locally deformed regions, indicated that the nanocomposite coating exhibited high load-bearing capacity due to a combination of high hardness and good adhesion. Contact angle measurements suggested that the nanocomposite coating was more hydrophobic than uncoated 316L SS. The anti-bacterial activity of the MoO 3 -SiO 2 nanocomposite coating against two bacterial strains (E. coli and S. aureus) was determined by the spread plate method. This showed that both bacterial strains exposed to the coating suffered a significant loss of viability. The influences of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) on the electrochemical behavior of the MoO 3 -SiO 2 nanocomposite coating in modified Postgate's C seawater (PCS) medium were investigated through potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The electrochemical tests revealed that the coating had a greater resistance to microbiologically influenced corrosion induced by SRB than uncoated 316L SS. This was corroborated by electrochemical testing (potentiodynamic polarization and EIS), in conjunction with SEM observations of the corroded surfaces. |
