AISI 316L stainless steel, due to its characteristics of corrosion resistance in alkaline environments, mechanical stability at high temperatures is attractive for various industries such as aeronautics, automotive, petrochemical, food, and even surgical instruments. However, when it is found in acidic environments rich in chlorides, it does not have sufficient protection against corrosion, which is detrimental to its mechanical properties. Therefore, amorphous titanium nitride coatings with low thicknesses have been used to improve its surface characteristics, such as increased surface hardness and electrical resistivity. The cathodic erosion synthesis method being a physical technique ensures high homogeneity, high adhesion to the substrate, and thickness control. Consequently, a hardness with values of 7.17 GPa was achieved, with a resistivity of 2.20E+09 ohm-square for T4, with a maximum thickness of ~1.7 µm.
