摘要:
A method is disclosed for substantially uniformly coating an interior surface of a ferromagnetic tubular structure such as a ferromagnetic tube having a high aspect ratio. The method entails inducing a magnetic field of a given magnitude within the tubular structure. Further, a bias is applied at a given voltage to the tubular structure. Then, the interior surface of the tubular structure is exposed to a gaseous precursor material under conditions effective to convert a quantity of the gaseous precursor material to ionize gaseous precursor material. The given magnitude and voltage is such that it is effective to deposit the ionized the gaseous precursor material onto the interior surface and converts the ionized gaseous precursor material to a substantially uniform protective coating in the interior surface.

摘要:
A system and method for depositing coatings on an inner surface of a tubular structure includes at least one pump for creating and maintaining a vacuum in the tubular structure, a meshed electrode adapted to be positioned in a center of the tubular structure, and a biased voltage power supply connected to the meshed electrode. The biased voltage power supply is adapted to apply a negative voltage to the meshed electrode such that the negative voltage causes a hollow cathode discharge inside the meshed electrode. The creation of the hollow cathode discharge causes ions to be drawn out of a mesh on the meshed electrode and accelerate onto an inner surface of the tubular structure, thereby coating the inner surface with a desired coating.
