Description
Summary:The present work deals with preparation of Fe<sub>3</sub>Si coatings on mild steel and evaluation of its magnetic property and corrosion behavior. Magnetic property of coatings was measured using a vibrating sample magnetometer, the result shows that the saturation magnetization reached to the maximum value (214.1 emug<sup>-1</sup>) and the coercivity fell to the lowest (23.11 Oe) in 1000<sup>o</sup>C. Corrosion behaviour of the coatings was studied using polarization in 3.5%NaCl solution. It was found that the corrosion current density (i<sub>corr</sub>) decreased with increasing of heat treatment temperature up to 1000<sup>o</sup>C, indicating an improvement in corrosion resistance. <p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.ms.20.4.6446">http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.ms.20.4.6446</a></p>
