Abstract: Disclosed is a composition and method for its use to improve the corrosion resistance of conversion-coated metal surfaces. The composition contains a myo-inositol phosphate ester or soluble salt thereof and is applied as a rinse of the conversion coating.

Abstract: Metal treating compositions, containing hexavalent-chromium-providing substance and pulverulent zinc, and which find particular utility in the coating of metal substrates prior to painting, now exhibit extended bath stability through pH control. The key to the control is achieved during preparation of precursor components. Such components of controlled, or adjusted, pH are then blended together to form a bath of excellent stability e.g., extended freedom from gelation.

Abstract: Surface treatment of weather-resistant steel by applying a liquid composition comprising 5 to 50% of Fe.sub.3 O.sub.4 + Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3, 0.01 to 5% of phosphoric acid, 0.01 to 10% of at least one selected from the consisting of Pb, Ni, Cu, P, Zn, Cr and their compounds, 3 to 30% of butyral resin, the balance being solvent by spraying or brushing. The surface treatment is effective for preventing the occurence of the initial rust formation of the steel and promoting a stable and dense protective rust against subsequent corrosion of the steel.

Abstract: Low temperature aluminum diffusion is more uniform when effected with a pack energized by aluminum chloride or other material that does not generate nitrogen, and gives food protection against marine corrosion of steels, and particularly when there is a chromate-type coating applied over the aluminizing. Highly effective chromate-type coating mixture consists essentially of aqueous solution of chromic and phosphoric acid also containing magnesium salts of said acids and dispersed polytetrafluoroethylene particles. Such coating mixture is best applied over porous pre-coating of colloidal inert particles. Aluminized superalloy can be heated in air to whiten it, then cleaned to give product having more ductile case. Such coated superalloy can also be stripped of coating by aqueous HNO.sub.3 --HF--CrO.sub.3 bath.

Abstract: The instant invention comprises providing copper or a copper alloy which has on its surface a uniform glassy like and substantially pore free coating of copper phosphate, rinsing the coated material for at least 2 seconds in water at a pH of from 4.9 to 6.3, at a temperature of 90.degree.C to the boiling point and drying.

Abstract: An improved, cathode ray tube mask assembly having a dark, adherent coating and a method of forming such a coating. A clean mask assembly is treated with a hot solution of chromic and phosphoric acid to form a preliminary protective coating. The mask assembly is then baked to convert the preliminary protective coating to a final dark, very adherent coating.

Abstract: An object of silicon steel, such as sheet and strip for motors, generators and transformers, which has an insulating coating of silicate, is provided with a solution of phosphate by applying to the silicate-coated object an aqueous solution containing phosphate ions and complex metal-ammonia ions and heating the coated object to a temperature of at least about 550.degree.C for a time sufficient to anchor the resulting phosphate layer to the silicate coating. The solution has a pH-value of at least 9, and consists essentially of monophosphate ions. The metal ions are cupric ions and/or chromic ions. An insoluble filler may be added to the aqueous solution.
