Method for providing metallic carbide coatings on graphite

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4308395
Metallic or nonmetallic carbide coatings of substantially uniform thickness are provided on internal surfaces of elongated bores within a graphite substrate by vapor deposition. The coating process is achieved by the thermal decomposition of a selected halide and the inter-reaction with a hydrocarbon gas at temperatures of 900 to 1200 deg C. at atmospheric pressure. A temperature gradient along the length of the bore is used to control the coating deposition rate for providing a carbide coating of substantially uniform thickness. (Official Gazette)
