Abstract
Disclosed herein are devices, methods, and systems for applying a coating and/or a plating to a surface, including metal surfaces on tubulars or gun barrels. In at least one embodiment, a device includes a rod and an applicator that is rotatable around the rod. The applicator includes a base on which are fixedly attached one or more arms. At one end of the arms is attached one or more applicator pads, which contain the coating and/or plating to be attached to a surface. In a further embodiment, a novel ablative coating includes an electroplated nanostructured porous metal layer combined with embedded nanoparticles. The porous metal layer may include zinc (Zn) and nickel (Ni), and/or alloys thereof. The embedded nanoparticles may include titanium dioxide (TiO) and hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN), which are anti-corrosion, friction-reducing, and/or thermally insulating.
