A variation in the austenitisation temperature around 50 °C substantially altered the coating morphology as well as the local electrochemical behaviour of the system (coating/steel). Both coating layer and steel substrate became nobler as the austenitisation temperature increased. The former was due to the overall iron enrichment while the latter was related to the microstructural transformation during quenching. Therefore, the driving force for cathodic protection decreased as the austenitisation temperature increased.1-12openAccessatomic force microscopyprobesausteniteelectrochemistrytemperature dependenceArtigo de periódico19010.1016/j.corsci.2021.1096730000-0002-8304-99390000-0002-4987-3334https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4987-3334https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8304-9939https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2240-170886.8489.67
