The result shows that the coating silicanized layer consisting of FeSi, Fe2SiO4, FeSiO3 and SiO2 phase was successfully formed on the mild steel after subjecting to heat treatment process of 1000 °C for 4 hours. This layer of �500μm thickness and also established that higher temperature and elongated deposition/adhesion time resulted an increase in SiO2 concentration on the substrate (mild steel). ©2006-2016 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN). publisher: Asian Research Publishing Network date: 2016 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Fmy, Y. and Othman, M.
