Abstract

An improved method of diffusion coating a workpiece, such as ferritic tubing employing a ceramic carrier provided with a diffusion composition. The diffusion composition includes a diffusion element such as chromium, silicon, aluminum, and boron. The carrier is subjected to an elevated diffusion temperature in a controlled environment to diffusion coat either the external or internal surface of the workpiece.
