Abstract
Provided are methods and initial structures for fabricating corrosion resistant steels that incorporate an aluminum rich corrosion resistant surface layer. The initial structures utilize layering and/or patterning for reducing the effective diffusion length Dto a value well below the total thickness of the aluminum alloy protective layer Xby providing vertical and/or lateral laminated structures that provide ready sources of Fe atoms during subsequent heat treatment processes.
