  • Protecting an interior of a gas container with an ALD coating
    Patent number: 11326254
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for protecting a gas container interior, where an inlet and exhaust manifold include a port assembly attachable to a port of the gas container is provided, the gas container interior is exposed to sequential self-saturating surface reactions by sequential inlet of reactive gases via the port assembly and the port into the gas container interior, and reaction residue is pumped via the port and the port assembly out from the gas container.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 3, 2014
    Date of Patent: May 10, 2022
    Assignee: Picosun Oy

  • Protecting an interior of a hollow body with an ALD coating
    Patent number: 10329662
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for protecting an interior of a hollow body, where an inlet and exhaust manifold include a port assembly attachable to an opening of the hollow body is provided. The interior of the hollow body is exposed to sequential self-saturating surface reactions by sequential inlet of reactive gases via the port assembly and the opening into the interior of the hollow body, and excess gases is pumped via the opening and the port assembly out from the hollow body.

  • Method of Preparing Corrosion Resistant Coatings
    Publication number: 20180094358
    Abstract: A method for preparing thin double-structured composite corrosion resistant and/or passivating coatings that consist of a thin metal oxide-hydroxide subcoating prepared by anodizing the metal substrate materials near-surface part and then provided with an atomic layer deposition (ALD) topmost nanocoating, of e.g. oxide, nitride, carbonate, carbide etc. or their mixes or laminates, or laminates with ceramic and metallic layers, or laminates with inorganic or organic polymers and ceramic layers.
    Type: Application
