Chemical structure and corrosion behaviour of S phase coatings K. L. Dahm*1, A. J. Betts2 and P. A. Dearnley3 The chemical structure and corrosion behaviour of stainless steel coatings with nitrogen contents up to 40 at.-% have been investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical tests, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that nitrogen existed in a high binding energy form (N1s
