ABSTRACT:
Aluminum coatings to reduce corrosion of steels and the like, are very effective when applied by pack diffusion below 1000.degree.F using a retort cup not over fifteen inches high, with anhydrous or hydrated energizer in a layer on top of the pack and out of contact with the workpieces. Such diffusion coatings are more uniform than corresponding coatings made with the pack energizer in a set of porous containers imbedded in the pack, even when using a retort not over 15 inches high and the porous containers are grouped together separately from all the workpieces. Keeping workpieces away from above and below the porous containers helps. Aluminum diffusion can also be effected from continuous coatings of leafing-type aluminum particles and such leafing coatings in very thin layers are more effective than coatings of non-leafing aluminum, with or without diffusion. The leafing aluminum coatings can be sprayed on from aqueous dispersion containing wetting agents and if desired a polyethylene glycol to help disperse the aluminum, as well as mixtures of phosphoric acid, chromic acid and magnesium, aluminum, calcium or zinc salts of these acids. A protective second coating of such mixtures can be applied as a cover layer over the layer containing the leafing aluminum, and this combination works best on a ferrous metal that has an aluminum diffusion coating, particularly a ferrous metal that contains less than 1% chromium and has such an aluminum diffusion coating. It also works very well on aluminum diffusion coatings from packs containing chromium, or chromium and silicon, in addition to the aluminum, and these alloys can be made by magnesothermic reduction of their mixed oxides or the like.
