A method for depositing a hard metallic chrome coating or similar metal by chemical vapor deposition on a metallic substrate, includes: a) preparing a solution containing, in an oxygen-free solvent, i) a molecular compound of the bis(arene) family that's a precursor of the deposited metal with a decomposition temperature 300° C.-550° C., and ii) a chlorinated additive; b) introducing the solution as aerosol into a heated evaporator at a temperature between the solvent boiling temperature and the precursor decomposition temperature (PDT); and c) driving the vaporized aerosol from the evaporator towards a CVD reactor including a susceptor carrying the substrate, heated above the PDT, up to 550° C., the evaporator and CVD reactor being subjected to atmospheric pressure. This DLI-CVD method performed at low temperature and atmospheric pressure enables continuous industrial treatment of large metallic plates, producing hard, monolayer or nanostructured multilayer metallic coatings. An appropriate injectable solution is also described. |
