In this paper, zirconium carbide (ZrC) thin films were deposited on glass and aluminum substrates using DC magnetron sputtering. It was found that different ratios of acetylene gas (C2H2, as a reactive gas) in the gas mixture of acetylene and argon (Ar, as a sputtering gas) affect the microstructural properties, corrosion behavior, and protection efficiency of ZrC thin films. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to characterize the microstructural properties of thin films. The corrosion behavior of thin films in a 3.5% NaCl solution was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). FESEM was also employed to examine thin films' surface morphology and thickness.
