Abstract
Survey experiments were performed to determine if microwave heating (MW) can be used to apply diffusion coatings to metal alloy parts. The three metal alloys tested included a tool steel (A2), a low carbon steel (1018), and a nickel-chrome superalloy (625). Control samples were processed by conventional heating for comparison. Aluminum and boron-based diffusion coatings were successfully created using microwave heating. These microwave-processed coatings exhibited some similarities to the conventionally produced coatings, although significant differences also existed in some cases.
