Corrosion resistant coatings containing an amorphous phase

摘要

The disclosure relates to the forming of 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.
