Abstract
A system for coating a surface comprising providing a source of amorphous metal that contains more than 11 elements and applying the amorphous metal that contains more than 11 elements to the surface by a spray. Also a coating comprising a composite material made of amorphous metal that contains more than 11 elements. An apparatus for producing a corrosion-resistant amorphous-metal coating on a structure comprises a deposition chamber, a deposition source in the deposition chamber that produces a deposition spray, the deposition source containing a composite material made of amorphous metal that contains more than 11 elements, and a system that directs the deposition spray onto the structure.
Claims9
An apparatus for producing a corrosion-resistant amorphous-metal coating on a structure, comprising:
- a deposition chamber,
- a deposition source in said deposition chamber, said deposition source including a first deposition source that produces a first deposition spray and a second deposition source that produces a second deposition spray,
- said first deposition source containing a composite material made of amorphous metal that contains more than 11 elements,
- said second deposition source containing a composite material made of amorphous metal that contains more than 11 elements, and
- a system that directs said first deposition spray onto the structure and directs said second deposition spray onto the structure.
