Abstract
A method and apparatus for coating a substrate with alkaline or alkaline earth metals is disclosed. The apparatus includes a reservoir to contain a melt of the metal, means for breaking the melt into fine droplets, and means for advancing a substrate having a surface to be coated along a path past the means for breaking the melt into fine droplets which contact the surface and provide a coating of the desired thickness. The apparatus coats the substrate in a pure inert gas environment. Use of the above apparatus provides a method for coating an alkaline or an alkaline earth metal onto a substrate to be realized.
