In this study, the corrosion behaviors of nitride and titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN) layers deposited on AISI D2 steel samples are reported. Steel was at first nitrided in a nitrogen and ammonia atmosphere at 575C for 8 h and then titanium nitride coating treatment was performed in the powder mixture consisting of ferro-titanium, aluminum, ammonium chloride and alumina at 1000C for 2 h by thermo-reactive diffusion technique. Phase analysis and corrosion tests were realized on the titanium aluminum nitride coated steel. The corrosion properties of uncoated and coated samples were characterized by potentiostatic polarization test. The tests were conducted using a three-electrode system test unit with a platinum counter electrode of 2.269 cm^2 and an Ag/AgCl, 3 M KCl electrode as the reference electrode. Nitrided and TiAlN coated steel specimens exhibited higher corrosion resistance than uncoated steel in 0.5 M H_2SO_4 solution. Conclusively, the application of nitride and TiAlN films on AISI D2 steel increased surface hardness and corrosion resistance. TiAlN coating exhibits the highest corrosion resistance.
