The purpose of this research is to meet current technical and ecological challenges by developing novel steel coating systems specifically designed for mechanical equipment used in aggressive acid conditions. Homogeneous sandwich-type layered films on the surface of steel electrodes were realized using a pseudo-binary oxide, MnTa2O6, and two different substituted porphyrin derivatives, namely: 5-(4-carboxy-phenyl)-10,15,20-tris (4-methyl-phenyl)-porphyrin and 5-(4-methyl-benzoate)-10,15,20-tris (4-methyl-phenyl)-porphyrin, which are novel investigated compound pairs. Two suitable laser strategies, pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE), were applied in order to prevent porphyrin decomposition and to create smooth layers with low porosity that are extremely adherent to the surface of steel. The electrochemical measurements of corrosion-resistant coating performance revealed that in all cases in which the steel electrodes were protected, a significant value of corrosion inhibition efficiency was found, ranging from 65.6 to 83.7%, depending on the nature of the porphyrin and its position in the sandwich layer. The highest value (83.7%) was obtained for the MAPLE/PLD laser deposition of 5-(4-carboxy-phenyl)-10,15,20-tris (4-methyl-phenyl)-porphyrin/MnTa2O6(h), meaning that the inhibitors adsorbed and blocked the access of the acid to the active sites of the steel electrodes.
