Microstructural investigation, corrosion tests and antibacterial tests were conducted to study the properties of N-TiO2 coatings. Composition analysis shows that the SS substrates were shielded by the N-TiO2 coatings entirely. The N-TiO2 coatings are anatase in structure as characterized by X-ray diffraction. The corrosion properties of N-TiO2 coated SS samples in Hanks＇ solution were investigated by a series of tests. The electrochemical measurements indicate that the corrosion potential positively shifts from -0.275 V for untrated SS to -0.267 V for N-TiO2, while the corrosion current density decreases from 1.3×10-5 A/cm2 to 4.1×10-6A/cm2. The corrosion resistance obtained by fitting the impedance spectra also reveals that the N-TiO2 coatings provide good protection for SS substrate against corrosion in Hanks＇ solution. Electrochemistry noise tests indicate that the N-TiO2 coatings effectively retard the local pitting and crevice corrosion of the SS substrate. The results of the antibacterial test reveal that N-TiO2 coatings give 304 austenitic SS an excellent antibacterial property.展开更多
