Abstract
Abstract A process for providing coatings on metal articles whereby the articles will be resistant to corrosion at elevated temperatures. The process involves the application of an overlay on an article surface, the overlay comprising a ductile metal of a composition normally resistant to corrosion at elevated temperatures. An outer layer of aluminide or metal which is resistant to corrosion at elevated temperatures but which is subject to embrittlement at such temperatures is applied to complete the coating. Porosity in the coating is then eliminated and a high integrity corrosion resistant coating not subject to cracking is obtained by heating the article in a gaseous atmosphere to elevated temperature and simultaneously applying isostatic pressure to the article.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
175 words
In a process for providing a coating on a metallic substrate, the coating renderng the substrate resistent to corrosion at elevated temperatures, said process comprising the steps of providing a ductile metallic overlay on the substrate surface, said overlay being of a composition normally resistant to corrosion at elevated temperatures, and applying an outer layer on said overlay, said outer layer being formed of a material more resistant to corrosion at elevated temperatures, the outer layer comprising an encapsulating means thereby preventing penetration of gas, the improvement comprising the steps of thereafter subjecting said coated substrate to a hot isostatic pressing operation by locating the coated substrate in a pressure-tight chamber, and subjecting the coated substrate to a temperature and pressure applied through a gaseous atmosphere sufficient to eliminate porosity, said temperature and pressure application also causing diffusion of substrate ingredients from one direction into the overlay and diffusion of outer layer ingredients from the other direction into the overlay thereby modifying the composition of the coating composed of said overlay and said outer layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
175 words
