METHOD OF COATING GRAPHITE WITH STABLE METAL CARBIDES AND NITRIDES

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4195527

A method is presented for forming protective stable nitride and carbide compounds on the surface of graphite. This is accomplished by contacting the graphite surface with a fused heavy liquid metal such as bismuth or leadbismuth containing zirconium, titanium, and hafnium dissolved or finely dispersed therein to form a carbide and nitride of at least one of the dissolved metals on the graphite surface.
