Methods for the implementation of nanocrystalline and amorphous metals and alloys as coatings

A method of manufacturing a component, comprising:

• applying a nanocrystalline or amorphous material to a component, said component having at least one surface, wherein said nanocrystalline or amorphous material is applied to said component through an electrodeposition process, and wherein an electric potential exists on said component through an electrical contact with at least one other component.

A method of manufacturing a component, comprising:

• applying a nanocrystalline or amorphous material to a component, wherein the nanocrystalline or amorphous material is applied through an electrodeposition process, said electrodeposition process comprised of a beginning portion of the component entering an electrodeposition bath before an adjoining portion of the component enters the electrodeposition bath and the beginning portion of the component also exiting the electrodeposition bath before the adjoining portion of the component exits the electrodeposition bath.

A method of rebuilding a component, comprising:

• applying a nanocrystalline or amorphous material to at least one surface of a component, wherein said application of said nanocrystalline or amorphous material repairs damage to the at least one surface or brings a geometry of the at least one surface of the component to within a desired dimensional size.
