Ink Formulations for Chromium-Containing Metallic Microparticles

Abstract:

An aerosol ink is generally provided, along with methods of forming an aerosol ink. In one embodiment, the aerosol ink includes a plurality of chromium-containing metallic microparticles dispersed in a solvent system. Generally, the chromium-containing metallic microparticles comprise elemental chromium mixed with at least one alloying element. A non-contact method is also generally provided of forming a chromium-containing metallic layer on a surface of a substrate.
