Abstract

In this article, the surface characterization of graphite-based coatings deposited on metallic substrates at ambient temperature via a modified micro-blasting process technique named CoBlast™ is reported. The coated metals were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, x-ray diffractometer, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Surface roughness and contact angles were also evaluated. The results showed that the coated layer irrespective of the substrate type was hydrophobic and consisted of graphite, the grit material, and surface oxides, while surface roughness values varied from one substrate to the other. Implications of the resulting surface properties in relation to wear and corrosion applications are highlighted.
