ABSTRACT:
Very good masking of pack diffusion aluminizing or chromizing on any metal to keep portions from being diffusion coated, is effected by localized coating the lowest layer of which is depletion-reducing masking powder the metal portion of which can have same composition as substrates, mixed with inert refractory diluent and non-contaminating film-former such as acrylic resin. The upper coating layer can be of non-contaminating particles like nickel or Cr.sub.2 O.sub.3 that upon aluminizing or chromizing become coherently held together to form a secure sheath. Such sheath can also be used for holding localized diffusion-coating layer in place. Film-former can be dissolved in volatile solvent, preferably methyl chloroform, in which masking powder or sheath-forming powder is suspended. Chromizing can be performed before aluminizing for greater effects. Aluminizing of metals like iron and nickel followed by leaching out much of the diffused-in aluminum, gives these substrates a pyrophoric and catalytic surface. Foil, wire or powder can be thus activated, and very fine activated powder when discharged into the air forms warm cloud that settles very slowly and decoys heat-seeking missiles.
