Abstract: A composition based on a novel MCrAlY formulation is provided for the production of protective coatings. The specific combination of the constituents of the MCrAlY formulation advantageously allows significantly high loadings of ceramic (metal oxide) while still retaining the ability to selectively oxidize aluminum to form alumina scale, a property previously not attainable with conventional MCrAlY materials when loaded with ceramics at levels of 15-45 weight percent. The alumina scale in combination with the modified MCrAlY formulation act as a barrier to specific detrimental oxide formations. The compositions of the present invention can act as protective coatings for a wide array of applications.

Abstract: This invention relates to rolls for use in or in contact with molten metal comprising a roll drum having an outer peripheral surface and a thermally sprayed coating on the outer peripheral surface of said roll drum, said thermally sprayed coating comprising from about 66 to about 88 weight percent of tungsten, from about 2.5 to about 6 weight percent of carbon, from about 6 to about 20 weight percent of cobalt, and from about 2 to about 9 weight percent of chromium; a process for preparing the rolls; a method for forming a metal layer on a metal sheet utilizing the rolls, e.g., galvanization; and a thermal spray powder for coating the outer peripheral surface of the rolls.
