Abstract AISI D6 tool steel and AISI 304 stainless steel are among the most widely used material in the industry. However, this application field can still be expanded through the coatings deposition. In this regard, the objective of this work was to evaluate the impact of coatings application by cathodic cage technique using Hastelloy’s cathodic cage, on corrosion resistance of these steels. Two treatment temperatures were compared. The samples were characterized by Optical Microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction with the application of the Rietveld routine and corrosion test. The results showed the formation of multiphase layers that contributed to corrosion potentials reduction for treatments at 400 °C, being more effective when applied on AISI D6. It was observed that the corrosion resistance is influenced by the temperature, which was attributed to the precipitation of chromium nitride and iron oxide at 450 ºC.
