Abstract
In order to improve the oxidation and hot corrosion resistance of steels, various elements including aluminum, chromium, silicon, titanium or combination of these elements can be diffused on to the surface of steel. In this study, aluminum and titanium were simultaneously co-deposited onto the AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel substrate by the pack cementation process. Coating was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The coating consised of two layers with the thickness of approximately 14 microns. The results obtained by XRD showed the existence of FeTi, TiO2, AlTi, Al3Ti and Al5Ti phases in the coating. Isothermal oxidation and cyclic oxidation were carried out at 1000○C. It was showed that the diffusional coating of aluminum-titanium led to the improvement of cycle and isothermal oxidation resistance.

Abstract
The bare and pre-oxidized AISI 430 pieces were screen printed by copper ferrite spinel coatings. Good bonding between the coating and the substrate was achieved by the reactive sintering process of the reduced coating. The energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis revealed that the scale is a double layer consisting of a chromia-rich subscale and an outer Cu/Fe-rich spinel. The results showed that the spinel protection layer not only significantly decreased the area specific resistance (ASR), but also inhibited the subscale growth by acting as a barrier to the inward diffusion of oxygen. ASRs of 19.7 and 32.5 mΩ.cm2, much lower than that of the bare substrate (153.4 mΩ.cm2), at 800 °C after 400 h oxidation were achieved for the bare and pre-oxidized copper ferrite spinel coated samples, respectively. Excellent, stable ASR (20.5 mΩ.cm2) was obtained with copper ferrite coating after 600 h of exposure at 800 °C. The high electrical conductivity of CuFe2O4 and its doping by Mn, the growth reduction of Cr2O3 oxide scale and the good coating to substrate adherence are proposed to be responsible for substantial improvement in electrical conductivity.

Abstract
A new method has been presented for the synthesis of copper (Cu)/copper oxide (CuO)-nanoparticles (NPs), based on the process of corrosion and oxidation of Cu-NPs on the surface of the gold electrode by nitric acid. Cu-NPs were deposited on the surface using potentiometric method. The high concentration of Cu-NPs was estimated by Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV). The process of growth and distribution of CuO-NPs on the surface of Cu-NPs using structural analysis of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that nitrate was well absorbed and a sharp hydroxyl peak appeared and a phase of CuO NPs formed on the electrode surface. The surface morphology indicated that the average size reduced from about 150 nm to 50 nm in the presence of nitrate. This can be due to the oxidation of Cu nanoparticles on the surface and reduction of particle size compared to the absence of nitric acid. This simple and low-cost method can be used as a surface modification of antibacterial and active catalyst electrodes.
