Metal and alloy coatings on tube IDs

I would like to know applications for various metal and alloy coatings such as st. steel to tubes and bores with IDs from under 1/2" to 2 ft, and lengths up to 10 ft. or more. Any sources or comments? Are there any major markets?

Mandar, The Baker Tool Co. use to ion plate aluminum on the IDs of drill stem tubes for the oil drilling industry. They used a christmas tree evaporation fixture. They don't do this coating anymore but I think that the demand is still there but I can't tell you where to go. Don
