    Abstract: A fluid tight, fully-densified, coating is prepared by a High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (“HVOF”) process that dilutes oxygen with an inert gas. The inert gas is pre-mixed with oxygen prior to the oxygen entering a combustion chamber. The resultant flame temperature is lowered a controlled amount to eliminate, minimize or reduce oxidation of power feedstock that is injected into the thermal spray torch. The ability to reduce the flame temperature allows a relatively smaller particle feedstock to be deposited without significant oxidation. The dilution process creates an as-deposited fully-dense, fluid tight coating.
