Cover Story: Corrosion resistance of steel has attracted significant interest for industrial applications to minimise costs correlating to part failures and shorten serviceability. Meantime, millions of tonnes of slag, non-recyclable glass and automotive shredder residue are discarded into landfills every year, polluting environment. Combining these two main problems, we delivered an alternative solution to improve properties of high-carbon steel, by formation of multi-hybrid layering with in-depth analysis using EPMA and AFM – PF-QNM. Results revealed that generated multi-hybrid layering offered 39% and 78% improvement of corrosion resistance and hardness respectively. This finding is prominent for economic and environmental sustainability, consolidating industry demands for durable components in a cost-effective way to reduce dependency on new resources, thus, less wastes discard to the landfills.

The coating of highly stressed components with chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond can extend their lifetime. In particular, the combination of steel substrates with diamond layers would find many applications in industrial production. However, t...
