Abstract
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to investigate the interface formed between thermally and plasma-treated steel substrates and an a luminium layer deposited on them. Enhancement in adhesion of the metal on thermally treated steel substrates is explained by the structure c hange of the aluminium layer. In contrast, plasma treatments induce mo rphological modifications of the steel surface and favour deformation of compounds between the steel and the metal which in turn improve the adhesive strength.
