Corrosion resistant coatings containing an amorphous phase

摘要

The disclosure relates to the forming mineralized coatings on metal surfaces and to methods of forming such coatings. The coating can include a wide range of compounds and normally at least a portion of the coating corresponds to an amorphous phase. The coating and method are particularly useful in providing a corrosion resistant coating or film upon a metallic surface. This aspect of the disclosure involves the formation of a corrosion resistant "mineralized" layer of tailored composition upon a metal substrate.
