    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to the production of a housing enclosure designed for sensors or RFIDS to be attached to thin-walled components in the oil and gas industries being sent downhole during drilling and extraction. A metal-based coating, which may be crystalline, amorphous, or partially amorphous in structure, is deposited onto a substrate in layers via thermal spraying. The coating may then be machined so that an opening is created to receive the sensor or RFID. The coating may also provide other functions such as wear, corrosion or erosion protection to the thin-walled components applied.

    Abstract: An embodiment relates to a composition comprising an amorphous alloy having a low coefficient of friction (COF) of 0.15 or less, wherein the amorphous alloy is substantially free of phosphor (P) and substantially free of boron (B). An embodiment relates to a method comprising solidifying a molten layer of an amorphous feedstock on a preexisting layer by controlling a heating source and a cooling rate so as to avoid formation of crystals in the molten layer and not affect a crystalline structure of the preexisting layer, and forming a specimen; wherein, the at least a portion specimen has the low COF. Another embodiment relates to a system comprising a drill string, wherein the drill string comprises a drilling bit and a drill pipe connected thereto, wherein at least a portion of the drill pipe comprises a coating having the low COF.
