Abstract
The present invention is generally directed to a method of controlling a pyrolytic carbon deposition coating process performed in a fluidized bed. In one illustrative embodiment, the method comprises positioning a product to be coated in the fluidized bed, determining a coating rate of carbon material formed on the product in the fluidized bed, and determining a desired duration of the coating process by dividing a desired coating thickness for the product by the determined coating rate.
