High temperature coating using metallizing

I wanted to know whether there is any way to coat C.I. Surfaces to withstand up to 1000 degress centigrade by the process of metallizing where I cannot spray Stainless Steel as the pipe would be used in the presence of Fluorine Gas which reacts to the nickel in the S.S.

In my opinion, most any metal or alloy will react in the presence of fluorine gas at 1000 °C. Oxides, carbides, silicides, nitrides or cermets are out of the question. Probably not even gold could prove resistant due to temperature. Only platimun or iridium may be a possibility.
