Abstract
A method for depositing a non-oxide ceramic-type coating based on chrome carbides, nitrides or carbonitrides, by DLI-CVD at low temperature and atmospheric pressure on a metallic substrate, includes: a) a solution is prepared, containing a molecular compound which is a precursor of the metal to be deposited, belongs to the bis(arene) family, and has a decomposition temperature of 300° C.-550° C., the compound being dissolved in an oxygen atom depleted solvent; b) the solution is introduced as aerosol into a heated evaporator at a temperature between the solvent boiling temperature and the precursor decomposition temperature; and c) the precursor and the vaporized solvent are driven from the evaporator towards a CVD reactor having cold walls, with a susceptor carrying the substrate to be covered and heated to a temperature higher than the decomposition temperature of the precursor, to a maximum of 550° C., the evaporator and the CVD reactor being at atmospheric pressure.
