| Sumario: | Abstract There is widespread attention to surface profile and modification of 304 stainless steel for research development and application. Here, a successful electrolytic plasma processing (EPP) technique has been developed for both surface pretreatment and coating deposition of 304 stainless steel. Representative images confirm that the number of the pits increases and the ravines gradually disappear on the steel pretreated by EPP with the increase of processing time and applied voltage. Moreover, there is an obvious enhancement in surface roughness of 304 stainless steel after EPP pretreatment. In the case of coating deposition, the further EPP modification conducted on the pretreated sample offers a simple and effective technique for the production of zinc coatings having the features of full coverage and homogeneous distribution. The results show that a zinc coating with a thickness of approximately 0.5 μm can be obtained on the 304 stainless steel by means of EPP for only 60 s. |
