Abstract: A solar control coating for applying to a substrate and having an infrared reflective layer sandwiched between a pair of transparent insulating layers, such as dielectric layers. The infrared reflective layer includes an alloy of a reflective metal where the alloying element oxidizes preferentially over the reflective metal.

Abstract: A heat processable coated article suitable for tempering and/or bending which has metallic properties is prepared by coating a glass substrate. The substrate has deposited over it a stabilizing film and a metal-containing film is deposited over the stabilizing film. Also an overcoating with a protective layer of a silicon compound is deposited over the metal-containing film and forms a durable layer and prevents oxidation of the underlying metal-containing film. The coated article can be tempered and/or bent without losing its metallic properties to oxidation.

Abstract: A temperable coated article with metallic properties is prepared by coating a glass substrate with a metal-containing film such as titanium nitride, which ordinarily oxidizes at high temperature, overcoating with a protective layer of a silicon compound which forms a durable layer and prevents oxidation of the underlying metal-containing film and undercoating with a stabilizing metal-containing layer. The coated article can be tempered without losing its metallic properties to oxidation.

Abstract: A method for bonding silicon-containing compositions to metal surfaces is disclosed wherein a coarse silicon-containing surface is arc-sprayed with a first adhesive layer, a second solderable layer, and a third solder layer, and the arc-sprayed surface is then soldered to the metal surface. The method is particularly useful for producing silicon-containing targets for cathode sputtering.

Abstract: A heat processable metallic appearing coated article is prepared by coating a glass substrate with a metal-containing film such as chromium or titanium nitride, which ordinarily oxidizes at high temperature, and overcoating with a protective layer of a different metal which forms a dense oxide surface layer. The coated article is subjected to high temperature processing such as bending without losing its metallic appearance to oxidation.
