Abstract
Abstract A method for forming an anticorrosive coating on the surface of a metal substrate, which comprises, in one embodiment, (1) coating the surface of the metal substrate with an anticorrosive metal capable of forming an alloy with the substrate metal using a spraying procedure, and (2) then heating the coated surface in a vacuum or in an atmosphere substantially inert to the metal coating and metal substrate by irradiating electron beams or a plasma arc thereonto to form an alloy layer in the interface between the metal substrate and the metal coating and, in a second embodiment, subsequent to step (1) and prior to step (2) above coating a solution of a thermally decomposable platinum-group metal compound on the surface of the resulting coating, and heat-treating the coated product at about 50° to about 300° C.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
A method for forming an anticorrosive coating on the surface of a metal substrate, which comprises the steps of (1) coating the surface of a metal substrate with an anticorrosive metal capable of forming an alloy with said substrate metal by a spraying procedure, and (2) then heating the coated surface in a vacuum or in a substantially inert atmosphere by irradiating the surface with electron beams or a plasma arc to form an alloy layer only in the interface between said metal substrate and said metal coating.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
88 words
A method for forming an anticorrosive coating on the surface of a metal substrate, which comprises the steps of (1) coating the surface of a metal substrate with an anticorrosive metal capable of forming an alloy with said substrate metal by a spraying procedure, and (2) then heating the coated surface in a vacuum or in a substantially inert atmosphere by irradiating the surface with electron beams or a plasma arc to form an alloy layer only in the interface between said metal substrate and said metal coating.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the method comprises subsequent to step (1) and prior to step (2) coating a solution of a thermally decomposable platinum-group metal compound on the surface of the resulting coating, and heat-treating the coated product at about 50° to about 300° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The method of claim 1 or 2, wherein said metal substrate is a substrate of titanium, tantalum, zirconium or niobium, or an alloy composed mainly of any one of these metals.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
The method of claim 1 or 2, wherein said metal substrate is a substrate of iron, nickel, cobalt or copper, or an alloy composed mainly of any one of these metals.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
34 words
The method of claim 1 or 2, wherein said anticorrosive metal is tantalum, zirconium, niobium, titanium, molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, chromium, nickel or silicon, or an alloy composed mainly of any one of these metals.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
The method of claim 2, wherein said platinum-group metal compound is a halogen-containing compound of or an organic compound of platinum, iridium, ruthenium, palladium or rhodium, or a mixture thereof.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
39 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the irradiation of the surface with electron beams or plasma arc is with an intensity sufficient to form said alloy layer only in the interface between said metal substrate and said metal coating.
