Halide activated pack cemetation was used to coat a broad range of austenitic stainless steels under a range of process conditions. Optical and scanning electron microscopy were utilized to study the microstructures and coating compositions. X-ray diffraction was used to analyze the phase evolution on the surface. Mircrohardness profiles were also obtained and used to cross-check the coating thicknesses determined from microscopy. The kinetics of the coating process were determined using mass change and thickness data for different process conditions and for the different alloys. Rate equations will be derived from these data and alloy behavior will be compared. The results will be discussed in relation to the stability of the austenite phase. Differences in surface and cross-sectional morphology will be discussed and insights from our work will be contextualized in regards to current literature.
