Abstract
The present invention provides methods and materials for use in applying a coating on a surface of a magnesium component. The method includes the steps of: accelerating a coating powder to a velocity of between about 500 to about 1200 meters/second, wherein the coating powder comprises a material selected from the group consisting of aluminum, aluminum alloys, titanium, titanium alloys, and composites; directing the coating powder through a convergent-divergent nozzle onto the surface of the magnesium component; and forming a coating on the surface of the magnesium component so as to substantially cover the surface of the magnesium component. The coating thickness may be between approximately 0.1 to approximately 1.0 mm.
