Thin amorphous graphite-like carbon films and diamond-like hydrogenated carbon films were deposited
on aluminum foils and aluminum plates using magnetron and RF discharges. The corrosion protection effect of
the films was tested in 30 wt.% NaOH water solution. Dependence of protective properties on the deposition
method used, substrate preparation, and presence of intermediate layers was shown. Mechanisms of interaction
between an alkali solution and aluminum coated with carbon-based films are discussed.
