Silicon carbide coatings serve as critical barriers in high-temperature and radiation-intensive environments, providing corrosion resistance, wear protection and containment of fission products.

This appendix reviews various coating process technologies: diffusion coating, thermal spray (particulate deposition), physical vapor deposition (atomistic or molecular transfer), and sputtering ...

Historically, the corrosion protection of iron- and nickel-based alloys has been improved by aluminide diffusion coatings. The formation of iron or nickel aluminides through controlled diffusion of ...

A short description of each application process and the properties of the coating developed is given in the below sections. In zinc electroplating, the items to be coated are immersed in a solution ...
