EROSIVE WEAR AND CORROSION RESISTANT COATINGS INCLUDING METAL CARBIDE, METAL BORIDE, METAL NITRIDE, AND CORRESPONDING METHODS

摘要

A method of coating an alloy substrate includes providing an alloy substrate that includes less than 0.3 wt. % of diffusible elements; introducing one or more diffusible elements into the alloy substrate to thereby form a diffusible-element-containing alloy substrate; and introducing the diffusible-element-containing alloy substrate to a material reactive with the one or more diffusible elements.
