A method for applying coatings to substrates using combustion chemical vapor deposition by mixing together a reagent and a carrier solution to form a reagent mixture, igniting the reagent mixture to create a flame, or flowing the reagent mixture through a plasma torch, in which the reagent is at least partially vaporized into a vapor phase, and contacting the vapor phase of the reagent to a substrate resulting in the deposition, at least in part from the vapor phase, of a coating of the reagent which can be controlled so as to have a preferred orientation on the substrate, and an apparatus to accomplish this method. This process can be used to deposit thin phosphate films and coatings.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A method for applying a phosphate coating to substrates using chemical vapor deposition comprising the steps of:(a) providing a substrate having at least one surface to be coated;(b) selecting a reagent and a carrier medium and mixing together said reagent and said carrier medium to form a reagent mixture, the reagent being selected such that at least a portion of the reagent forms the phosphate coating;(c) combusting at least a portion of said reagent mixture thereby vaporizing a majority of said reagent to form a vapor phase of said reagent;(d) locating said substrate in a zone such that the substrate is heated sufficiently to allow said vapor phase to form the coating on said substrate; and(e) contacting said vapor phase of said reagent with said substrate in said zone for forming the phosphate coating onto said substrate.
