MIST Surface Treatment Protectant
MIST (Micro Infused Surface Treatment)
– Ultra-‐thin film protectant – wear, corrosion and fouling
– Creates an infused surface treatment baked into the
surface (420o
C)
– Flexible & conforms to surface – remains anchored
despite “hostile” environments (sulfur, acid, heat, liquid
metal, etc.)
– Does not affect fit, form or function of a component
– Extends the life & performance of metals, carbides,
ceramics and other inorganic materials used in industrial
applications
– Use over 70 different elements in various
combinations to create materials that are;
lighter, stronger and last longer than existing
commercial coatings – MIST makes the products
better!

2. S &S MIST Zr Plus provides best results….
When the surface to be treated is smooth.
The smoother the surface, the better
response Zr Plus will provide.
You might consider having the pieces
polished before requesting treatment.
3. Revision V1.02 3
MIST Infused Thin Film
•Superior adhesion possible with
diffusion and penetration into substrate
inner-‐granular boundaries
•Nano-‐scale thin film becomes
“locked” to host material
•During mechanical or chemical attack,
residual effects remain:
— If thin film is worn away, substrate retains performance
characteristics
— A result of the inner-‐granular diffusion “alloy” layer
•Opens possibility to material substitution and upgrading the
wearing surface only

MIST Process Attributes
•Wide variety of elements can be applied to metals, ceramics, glass and certain plastics.
— Many Oxide’s currently in wide application
— Choose from over 70 elements for various effects
•Ultra-‐thin film adhered to substrate
— Flexible in nature
— Conforms to surface (surface finish < 16 Ra is preferred) — No thermal coef. of expansion (CTE)
— Diffused into substrate – superior adhesion
•Lubrication
— Film can replace lubrication in some cases
— Some formulations allow liquid lubricant to remain (i.e. used for bearings)
•Surface Protection
— Corrosion protection
— Environmental Boundary Treatment (EBT)

Oak Ridge National Labs Material Analysis
•MIST process analyzed on metal coupons
•Sputter profiles measured the interface formed between the
substrate and thin film
– Ultra-- thin film diffused into substrate‐
•Approximately 48 nm
depth of Zirconia into substrate
•Multiple applications
of the C3
process built up a ~ 250 nm thin
film
•Final diffused nano-- film can be‐
described as an “oxycarbide”
