Abstract: This invention relates to a thin and texturized film that can be applied onto a non-smooth surface to improve hardness, corrosion resistance and wear resistance properties of the surface while maintaining the underlying profile of the non-smooth surface. An additive overlaying process can be employed to produce the thin and texturized film on the non-smooth surfaces without substantial alteration or degradation of the underlying surface texture or profile of the non-smooth surfaces so as to sufficiently preserve the underlying surface texture or profile. The thin and texturized film fully covers the non-smooth in a uniform manner and maintains the surface profile.

Abstract: A fully-dense, fluid tight, low friction coating system is described that is characterized by fluid impermeability and a reduced coefficient of friction. The coating system includes a fully dense, fluid tight underlying layer; and a low friction layer. Unlike conventional materials requiring a sealant, the coating systems of the present invention achieves better fluid tightness and maintains said fluid tightness along one or more sealing surfaces at higher service temperatures and service pressures than previously attainable. The constituents of the fully-dense, fluid tight, low friction coating system are physically and chemically compatible so as to not adversely impact lubricity, wear resistance and corrosion resistance during the service life of a component coated with the fully-dense, fluid tight, low friction coating system.
