Electrodeposition of refractory compounds from molten salts — borides, carbides and silicides

  • Chapter
Metallurgical and Ceramic Protective Coatings

Abstract

Chapters 2 and 3 describe the protection of structural metals from wear and corrosion by refractory metal plating and by metalliding. This chapter discusses a third method: the plating of a substrate by a refractory compound. This method has something in common with the preceding methods; it requires plating a refractory metal, and it also resembles metalliding in that a refractory compound is formed, though on the surface of the substrate, rather than by diffusing a second element into the substrate to form a compound within the surface region. Coating a metal with a refractory compound has proved to be very useful and there are many methods for accomplishing this. These generally fall into two groups: gas phase and condensed phase. Gas phase methods have been described in considerable detail in the book edited by Bunshaw [1]. In this chapter we discuss the electroplating of some refractory compounds. Compared to gas phase methods, electroplating is still in its infancy, but it has the potential to be superior for covering complex shapes, and it might allow lower temperatures to be used in some cases. So far only the compounds in the title have been plated; there are no methods for plating oxides and nitrides. There are several sources that provide information on the properties of refractory compunds.
