Abstract
In this work, four different enamels were coated on AISI 316LVM stainless steel and the corrosion resistance of these samples was tested in 5 wt.% NaCl solution at room temperature. The preparation procedure of the enamels was optimized in terms of firing temperature, time and composition. First the thermal expansion was measured using dilatometry followed by electrochemical analysis using chronopotentiometry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic polarization. The topography of the most resistant sample was obtained by 3D-profilometry. All samples coated with enamel showed significantly higher corrosion and dilatation resistance compared with the uncoated stainless steel material.
