“…Several studies indicate that MCA coatings can provide satisfactory protection for ships and ocean engineering, especially in harsh marine environments [23]. There are different methodologies that have been developed for the successful synthesis of MCA coatings, such as laser remelting [24,25], magnetron sputtering [26], laser cladding [27], thermal spraying [28,29], electrochemical reduction of oxides in molten salts [30], mechanical alloying [4], hydrogen reduction of oxide powers [31], and electrochemical deposition [32][33][34]. All these techniques, except for electrodeposition, are labeled as having a high equipment cost, having relatively high operating temperatures and energy consumption, and presenting difficulty in controlling the coating morphology and composition.…”
