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.

Chromizing

Two smelt spouts that have been chromized using ATC's process.  This process will increase life of the spouts against a highly corrosive environment.

Boronizing

Aluminizing

Chromizing

This piece to a turbine has boron diffused into the blades to increase its resistance to an erosive life.

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.
