Process for Producing Uniform Protective Coating of Silver Metal on Carbon/Carbon Composites. (1998)

Abstract
This patent discloses a process for producing high temperature, oxidation resistant silver metal coatings on carbon/carbon composite structures by coating the carbon/carbon surfaces with molten silver nitrate at a temperature above the melting point of AgNO3 but below the decomposition temperature of AgNO3, and then heating the resulting uniform coating of molten AgNO3 at a temperature of from the decomposition temperature of AgNO3 to about 700 C, to decompose the molten AgNO3 and form a uniform coating of silver metal.. Supersedes PAT-APPL-548 332-90.
