Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A process for protecting a metallic alloy from aqueous corrosion by applying an impervious coating to such alloy comprising the steps: (a) preparing a metallic alloy substrate, (b) preparing a powder comprising between about 21 to 23 weight percent chromium; between about 8 to 10 weight percent molybdenum; between about 2.5 to 3.5 weight percent iron; between about 3 to 4 weight percent niobium and remainder substantially nickel; and (c) thermal spraying the powder composition of step (b) at a selected gas temperature and gas pressure onto the metallic alloy substrate to produce a coating in excess of 0.0035 inch thick and having the characteristics such that when subjected to the ASTM G-61 corrosion test, a current density of less than 50 microamperes per square centimeter results when a potential of 400 millivolts is applied.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
A process for protecting a metallic alloy from aqueous corrosion by applying an impervious coating to such alloy comprising the steps: (a) preparing a metallic alloy substrate, (b) preparing a powder comprising between about 21 to 23 weight percent chromium; between about 8 to 10 weight percent molybdenum; between about 2.5 to 3.5 weight percent iron; between about 3 to 4 weight percent niobium and remainder substantially nickel; and (c) thermal spraying the powder composition of step (b) at a selected gas temperature and gas pressure onto the metallic alloy substrate to produce a coating in excess of 0.0035 inch thick and having the characteristics such that when subjected to the ASTM G-61 corrosion test, a current density of less than 50 microamperes per square centimeter results when a potential of 400 millivolts is applied.
