PROCESS FOR MAKING CORROSION-RESISTANT AMORPHOUS-METAL COATINGS FROM GAS-ATOMIZED AMORPHOUS-METAL POWDERS

摘要

A system for the deposition of full-density, pore-free, corrosion- resistant, thermal-spray amorphous-metal coatings for the protection of a less corrosion resistant substrate. The system comprises using particle-size optimization (PSO) to ensure that the amorphous metal particles are small enough to ensure that the critical cooling rate is achieved throughout the amorphous metal particles.
