Abstract
An improved method of chromizing the surface of a ferritic boiler component. An aqueous coating composition is applied to the surface to be chromized, which includes at least 10% by weight of chromium, at least 12% by weight alumina, a binder of ammonium alginate or methyl cellulose, and a halide activator, and in which the weight ratio of chromium to water is greater than 0.7. Alternative embodiments involve the application of a halide activator over the top of a previously applied and dried coating that is lacking said halide activator, as well as to the application of multiple layer single component slurry coatings.
