  • Method of coating and induction heating a component
    Patent number: 8137761
    Abstract: A method of coating a component is disclosed. The method includes applying a coating composition to a surface of the component. The method also includes providing an induction coil having a coil configuration corresponding to the surface. The method further includes relatively positioning the surface and the induction coil with a gap sufficient to enable induction heating of the surface by the induction coil. Furthermore, the method includes heating the component with the induction coil sufficient to produce a coating having an empirical formula FexMnyOz, where x varies from about 0 to about 2, y varies from about 1 to about 4, and z varies from about 2 to about 8.
    Type: Grant
