Hydrothermally obtained Mg3Ta208 pseudo-binary nanomaterial from MgO and Ta2O5 (3:1) precursors was deposited using the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique on carbon steel disks. The PLD main processes parameters, i.e. the pulse energy and the deposition time were varied in order to determine the combination that ensures the best corrosion inhibition. Morphological investigations were carried out (scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy). The anticorrosive properties of the deposited layers were studied in 0.3 M NaCI saline solution. The best anticorrosive protection was observed in the case of the deposited layers on carbon steel disk using the lower energy, i.e. 10mJ for a deposition time of 60s, i.e. 61.94 % inhibition efficiency.
