COATED STRIP AND METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

A nozzle includes an elongated metallic strip (10) having an exterior surface, and at least one orifice formed therethrough, the orifice having an interior surface (12). A carbon-based coating (14) having an amorphous microstructure is disposed on substantially all of the exterior surface and the interior surface (12). A method of coating a nozzle or strip includes providing an elongated metallic strip (10) having an exterior surface, and depositing a carbon-based coating (14) having an amorphous microstructure on substantially all of the exterior surface.
