Diffusion Coatings

  

In diffusion coating the surface of a component is enriched with an element or combination of elements that can impart a high degree of resistance to specific wastage mechanisms. These coatings can be highly effective at resisting the effects of elevated temperature corrosion as well as abrasive-type wear. Elements such as chromium, aluminum, silicon and combinations thereof modify the stability of the protective oxide film of the base metal to provide high levels of resistance to the most aggressive elevated temperature corrosion mechanisms, while chromium and boron can combine with other elements in the base metal to produce a very hard surface layer that will resist the effects of abrasive wear. ATC has been awarded a number of patents related to the diffusion of chromium into industrial-type components.

Chromized Boiler Casing

 Aluminizing is a thermo-chemical diffusion process applied to carbon, alloy, and stainless steels; nickel-based alloys; and nickel-iron alloys to improve oxidation and corrosion resistance.
