Ultra-thin (5-50 nm) layers of aluminium and tantalum oxides deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) on a stainless steel substrate (316L) for corrosion protection have been investigated by electrochemical methods (linear scan voltammetry, LSV, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. EIS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, ToF-SIMS. The effects of the deposition temperature (250 degrees C and 160 degrees C) and coating thickness were addressed. ToF-SIMS elemental depth profiling shows a marked effect of the organic and water precursors used for deposition and of the substrate surface contamination on the level of C and OH trace contamination in the coating, and a beneficial effect of increasing the deposition temperature. The polarization data show a decrease of the current density by up to four orders of magnitude with increasing coating thickness from 5 to 50 nm. The 50 nm films block the pitting corrosion in 0.8 M NaCl. The uncoated surface fraction (quantified from the current density and allowing a ranking of the efficiency of the coating, also confirmed by the capacitance and resistance values extracted from the EIS data) was 0.03% with a 50 nm thick Al2O3 film deposited at 250 degrees C. The correlation between the porosity values of the coatings and the level of C and OH traces observed by ToF-SIMS points to a marked effect of the coating contaminants on the sealing performance of the coatings and on the corrosion resistance of the coated systems.
