METHOD FOR FORMING ALUMINUM MATRIX COMPOSITE FILM OF METAL STRUCTURE

摘要

A method is described for producing a corrosion and mechanical wear resistant coating on a metal surface to be protected. The method comprises (a) providing a rod or wire formed of a metal matrix composite comprising a metal matrix having distributed therein a finely divided solid filler material and (b) applying a coating of said metal matrix composite on said metal surface to be protected by means of a flame spraying or arc spraying process. This results in a coating of improved adhesion and low porosity.
