A method for coating an internal surface of a substrate includes providing a substrate having an internal surface, coating a slurry on the internal surface, the slurry containing a metallic powder, and drying the slurry such that the slurry forms a metal-based coating on the substrate.

Method for forming metallic-based coating

A current limiting device comprises at least two electrodes; an electrically conductive composite material between the electrodes; interfaces between the electrodes the said composite material; and an inhomogeneous resistance distribution structure at the interfaces. During a high current event, adiabatic resistive heating at the interfaces causes rapid thermal expansion and vaporization and at least a partial physical separation at the interfaces; so the resistance of the current limiting device increases. The composite material comprises at least one polymeric matrix material and at least one electrically conductive material, and the polymeric matrix material comprises at least one epoxy and at least one silicone.
