A method of providing a protective, corrosion-resistant thin coating of a MCrX alloy on a carbon or low-alloy steel pipe or tube where M is one of nickel, cobalt or iron or combination thereof and X is one of molybdenum, silicon, tungsten or combination thereof, and heat treating the coating to metallurgically bond the coating onto a steel substrate of the pipe or tube. The coating may be deposited in one or two layers by plasma transferred arc deposition or may be deposited as a slurry coating or thermal spray coating with sintering of the coating. The steel substrate is prepared for coating by at least one of boring, honing, bright finishing, grit blasting, grinding, chemical pickling or electro-polishing of the substrate.

Corrosion-resistant coatings for steel tubes

A method for protecting low-carbon steel and stainless steel from coking and corrosion at elevated temperatures in corrosive environments, such as during ethylene production by pyrolysis of hydrocarbons or the reduction of oxide ores, by coating the stainless steel with a coating of MCrAlXSiT in which M is nickel, cobalt, iron or a mixture thereof, X is yttrium, hafnium, zirconium, lanthanum, scandium or combination thereof, and T is tantalum, titanium, platinum, palladium, rhenium, molybdenum, tungsten, niobium, boron or combination thereof. A blended powder composition to produce a desired MCrAlXSiT surface alloy may be applied to the substrate. The overlay coating and stainless steel substrate preferably are heat-treated at about 1000 to 1200&deg; C. for about 10 minutes or longer effective to metallurgically bond the overlay coating to the substrate and to form a multiphased microstructure.

Protective system for high temperature metal alloy products

A method for protecting high temperature stainless steel from coking and corrosion at elevated temperatures in corrosive environments, such as during ethylene production, by coating the stainless steel with an overlay coating of MCrAlX in which M is nickel, cobalt, iron or a mixture thereof and X is yttrium, hafnium, zirconium, lanthanum or combination thereof. The overlay coating and stainless steel substrate are heat-treated to metallurgically bond the overlay coating to the substrate and to form a multiphased microstructure. The overlay coating preferably is aluminized by depositing a layer of aluminum thereon and subjecting the resulting coating to oxidation to form an alumina surface layer. An intermediary aluminum-containing diffusion coating may be deposited directly onto the stainless steel substrate prior to deposition of the overlay coating to form a protective interlayer between the stainless steel substrate and overlay coating.

Coating system for high temperature stainless steel

There is provided a surface alloyed component which comprises a base alloy with a diffusion barrier layer enriched in silicon and chromium being provided adjacent thereto. An enrichment pool layer is created adjacent the diffusion barrier and contains silicon and chromium and optionally titanium or aluminum. The method comprises depositing a surface alloy on the base alloy at a temperature in the range of 400 to 1000&deg; C. and heat treating the surface alloy at a ramp temperature rate of at least 5C&deg;/minute, preferably 10 to 20&deg; C./minute, to a desired maximum temperature at which the surface alloyed component is maintained for a time sufficient to provide the enrichment pool or the enrichment pool with a diffusion barrier layer. A reactive gas treatment may be used to generate a replenishable protective oxide scale of alumina or chromia on the outermost surface of the surface alloyed component.
