Abstract: A process for useful storage of electrical energy employing halogen hydrates is described. The halogen hydrate can be generated during the charging of a secondary battery or may be chemically generated and placed in a primary battery.

Abstract: Disclosed is an aqueous plating bath suitable for obtaining electrodeposits of palladium and its alloys. The bath is substantially free of cyanide, nitrate and nitrite, and comprises sulfite ion, palladium in the form of a tetra-coordinated complex with palladium in the +2 oxidation state, an atomic ratio of halide to palladium not in excess of 10, and exhibits a pH of from 7 to 12.

Abstract: Disclosed is a stable organic phase coating composition useful for treating a metallic surface prior to non-cutting cold forming which contains from 0.5 to 10 weight % water, from 30 to 94 weight % of an organic lubricant and from 5 to 60 weight % of the reaction product obtained by reacting the salt of a multivalent metal cation, a polyphosphoric acid, and an alcohol of 10 to 36 carbon atoms in a weight ratio of metallic cation: P.sub.2 O.sub.5 equivalent: alcohol of 1:3-60: 14-150. A major advantage of using this composition to form the lubricant coating on the metallic surface is that the lubricating layer may be applied in a single step instead of by a two-step process as in the past.
