  • Patent number: 11752541
    Abstract: A process for coating a refractory alloy part is provided and includes coating an area of a refractory alloy part by means of a treatment composition including a type of preceramic polymer and a solvent, and heat treating the part coated with the treatment composition. The heat treating partially converts the preceramic polymer and forms a ceramic coating obtained by conversion, the ceramic coating protecting the refractory alloy from oxidation. The treatment composition also includes active fillers to form an alloy coating on a surface of the part by solid diffusion in addition to the ceramic coating obtained by conversion, and the alloy coating generates a protective oxide layer when subjected to oxidizing conditions.
