The Spontaneous Escape Behavior of Silver from Graphite-like Carbon Coatings and Its Effect on Corrosion Resistance

Silver-doped graphite-like carbon (Ag-GLC) coatings were prepared on the surface of aluminum alloy and single-crystal silicon by magnetron sputtering under different deposition parameters. The effects of silver target current and deposition temperature, as well as of the addition of CH4 gas flow, on the spontaneous escape behavior of silver from the GLC coatings were investigated. Furthermore, the corrosion resistance of the Ag-GLC coatings were evaluated. The results showed that the spontaneous escape phenomenon of silver could take place at the GLC coating, regardless of preparation condition. These three preparation factors all had an influence on the size, number and distribution of the escaped silver particles. However, in contrast with the silver target current and the addition of CH4 gas flow, only the change in deposition temperature had a significant positive effect on the corrosion resistance of the Ag-GLC coatings. The Ag-GLC coating showed the best corrosion resistance when the deposition temperature was 500 °C, which was due to the fact that increasing the deposition temperature effectively reduced the number of silver particles escaping from the Ag-GLC coating.
