Provided is a coated body including a base member coated with an iron-based amorphous alloy powder capable of maintaining an amorphous structure even after a coating process, such that the durability, surface hardness, and friction of the base member may be improved. The coated body includes the base member and a coating layer which is formed of an iron-based amorphous alloy and provided on a surface of the base member.

A method of assessing the quality of a bond coat for bonding a ceramic coating to a metallic substrate comprises determining a thresholded summit area for the bond coat.

A method of manufacturing a laminate includes: forming a preprocessing coating on a surface of a substrate having insulating properties by accelerating the powdered material together with gas and spraying the powdered material in a solid phase onto the surface of the substrate, the powdered material including aluminum or an aluminum alloy as a main component; and forming a heat-treated coating having a surface with irregular asperities by heating a preprocessing laminate including the substrate and the preprocessing coating formed on the surface of the substrate.

The present disclosure relates to a cold spray metal process for imparting electromagnetic interference (EMI) resistance or lightning protection to the surface of a polymer, and a polymer with surface EMI resistance, or lightning protection, articles coated therefrom, and methods of reducing or eliminating electrochemical interactions between the metallic coating and components of the polymer.

A method for making an improved nuclear fuel cladding tube includes reinforcing a Zr alloy tube by first winding or braiding ceramic yarn directly around the tube to form a ceramic covering, then physically bonding the ceramic covering to the tube by applying a first coating selected from the group consisting of Nb, Nb alloy, Nb oxide, Cr, Cr oxide, Cr alloy, or combinations thereof, by one of a thermal deposition process or a physical deposition process to provide structural support member for the Zr tube, and optionally applying a second coating and optionally applying a third coating by one of a thermal deposition process or a physical deposition process. If the tube softens at 800° C.-1000° C., the structural support tube will reinforce the Zr alloy tube against ballooning and bursting, thereby preventing the release of fission products to the reactor coolant.

Even in a case where a spray nozzle of a solid phase particle deposition device is in motion, flying solid phase particles are efficiently collected. An attachment (1) includes: an engagement part (2) to be engaged with a spray nozzle (130) of a cold spray device (1); and an opening part (3) connected to the engagement part (2) and having at least one opening (3a, 3b) to be connected to a collection section (20) that is configured to collect solid phase particles (30b) which are sprayed through the spray nozzle (130) onto a base material (170) and are not involved in formation of a film on the base material (170).

A coated steel substrate has a steel substrate having a surface. A coating layer is atop the surface. The coating layer includes: aluminum activated by indium; and a ceramic binder. The coating also may comprise of multiple layers with different properties to facilitate the galvanic protection capability.

A high-temperature component of a refractory metal or a refractory metal alloy has an emissivity-increasing coating. The coating is formed of tantalum nitride and/or zirconium nitride; and tungsten with a tungsten content between 0 and 98 wt. %.
