Claims
- 1. A method of applying a corrosion resistant, extremely tenacious dense coating on metal parts subject to an acidic corrosive environment, said coating applied by thermal spraying a heated nickel base metal alloy powder on the surface of the metal part to be coated, said nickel base alloy powder having 20 to 40 percent by weight molybdenum, 12 to 20 percent by weight chromium, 0 to 10 percent by weight iron and 0.3 to 3 percent by weight copper plus vanadium.
- 2. The method of applying a corrosion resistant alloy on metal parts, as defined in claim 1, wherein said metal alloy powder is produced by melting the alloy, then atomizing the molten metal alloy, forming an alloy metal powder having a particle size range suitable for thermal spraying.
- 3. A method of forming a corrosion resistant extremely tenacious dense coating on a metal part which is to be exposed to a corrosive atmosphere, comprising: plasma spraying a powdered nickel base metal alloy on the metal part to be coated, said powdered metal alloy consisting essentially of 12 to 20% by weight chromium, 20 to 40% by weight molybdenum, 0 to 10% by weight iron, 0.3 to 3% by weight copper plus vanadium, additions and impurities up to 5% by weight, and the balance nickel.
- 4. The method of forming a corrosion resistant coating on a metal part as defined in claim 3, wherein said powdered nickel base metal alloy is produced by melting the alloy, then atomizing the molten metal alloy to form an alloy metal powder having a particle size range suitable for plasma spraying and wherein said metal alloy has 3 to 10% by weight iron.
