ABSTRACT

The recent patents on corrosion resistant coatings were reviewed in this paper. The materials of corrosion resistant components, e.g., metals and alloys, ceramics, polymers as well as composite materials, developed for environmental, economic and other concerns were discussed. In addition, the novel methods for forming the coatings, including the powder floating by vibration and the precursor gas, as well as some widely employed methods in the industrial applications were also included to provide useful information for colleagues.
