Abstract
A mechanical process for preventing the fouling of metalic objects such as ship propellers, hulls and other types of hardware exposed to seawater by application on the exposed surface of a ceramic coating. The coating is applied by thermal spraying. The ceramic coating is formulated to have sufficient hardness to prevent encrustation of barnacles, tube worms and other parasites, but retains enough malleability to prevent brittleness and to provide sufficient resistance to impacts.
