METHOD OF APPLYING A CORROSION-RESISTANT COATING

A corrosion resistant coating, e.g. a zinc coating, is applied to an article, e.g. an Nd-Fe-B magnet, by embedding the article in a mass of particles containing a sublimable corrosion-resistant material or a precursor thereof, and heating the embedded article at a temperature below the solidus tempe...

Zusammenfassung:A corrosion resistant coating, e.g. a zinc coating, is applied to an article, e.g. an Nd-Fe-B magnet, by embedding the article in a mass of particles containing a sublimable corrosion-resistant material or a precursor thereof, and heating the embedded article at a temperature below the solidus temperature of the corrosion-resistant material under a pressure of less than 65 Pa so as to cause a coherent layer of the corrosion-resistant material to be formed on the article by sublimation. Also disclosed is a method of coating a powder, such as Nd-Fe-B powder, with a layer, in which the powder is mixed with particles of a sublimable material, e.g. zinc, or a precursor thereof. The resultant mixture is heated at a temperature below the solidus temperature of the said particles under a pressure of less than 1 x 10 5 Pa so as to cause a coherent layer of the sublimable material to be foamed on the powder by sublimation.
