Abstract
An improved process for chromizing and chrome-siliconizing 400-series stainless steel components, and in particular, 430 stainless steel components, such as boiler panel studs. The process includes the addition of between 0.12%-0.25% by weight of calcium fluoride salt to the conventional 4% by weight of ammonium chloride activator salt to the coating composition used in known diffusion coating processes. In a more preferred embodiment, small amounts of silicon powder, such as between about 0.12%-0.25% by weight, are added to the two salts and the diffusion coating material. A coating composition is provided as well.
