  • Modified substrate surface and method
    Patent number: 5549927
    Abstract: Potential difficulties in surface modification of a substrate are avoided by using a mixture that includes a ceramic powder, a brazing material and a flux. Exposure to an elevated temperature activates the flux and at least partially melts the brazing material. Upon cooling, the melt solidifies to bond the ceramic powder to the substrate surface an create the modification.
