METHOD FOR IMPACT PLATING OF SELECTED METAL POWDER ON METAL PRODUCT AND IMPACT PLATED METAL PRODUCT

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of impact plating selected metal powders onto metallic articles. The powders are non- spherical and are characterized by an elongated, irregular surface which may contain at least one concave portion. Such metal powders are plated onto metallic articles having a Rockwell hardness of at least B-40. The method results in metallic articles having a substantially uniform coating composed of the impact plated metal powders.
