Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and methods that employ slurries to form layers adjacent to substrates. Such layers can include, for example, one or more of iron, chromium, nickel, silicon, vanadium, titanium, boron, tungsten, aluminum, molybdenum, cobalt, manganese, zirconium, and niobium, oxides thereof, nitrides thereof, sulfides thereof, or combinations thereof. In some examples, such layers are stainless steel layers.

1-132. (canceled)
A system slurry for forming at least one layer comprising at least one elemental metal, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a slurry adjacent to said substrate, wherein said slurry comprises:
- (i) a solvent;
- (ii) an alloying agent, wherein said alloying agent comprises said at least one elemental metal, and wherein said alloying agent is configured to diffuse into said substrate;
- (iii) a halide activator that facilitates diffusion of said at least one elemental metal to said substrate;
- and (iv) an inert species that aids in dispersing said alloying agent in said solvent, wherein said inert species has a particle size that is less than or equal to about 200 mesh,
- wherein said slurry is configured to form said at least one layer upon diffusion of said alloying agent into said substrate, wherein said at least one layer comprises said at least one elemental metal.
