High temperature, protective coatings are currently applied by several processes including electron beam evaporation, pack cementation, chemical vapor deposition, sputtering, and plasma spraying. laser cladding is a fairly new process that offers the unique advantages of controlled dilution, good… More

Laser chemical vapor disposition (lcvd)-processed films are expected to be superior to those processed with plasma cvd and ion beam methods because lcvd provides high deposition rate, high purity films, localized deposition, fine grain size, high spatial resolution, low substrate temperatures, and… More

Lead-based paints are commonly used on steel substrates for opacity, reactivity, durability, lubrication, and corrosion protection purposes. conventional sand blasting methods forremoval of such paint coatings result in significant environmental problems and associated disposal costs. phase i effort… More
