  • Patent number: 4619871
    Abstract: A copper foil resistant to acids and heat and yet easy to etch is obtained by forming a cobalt layer containing molybdenum and/or tungsten on the bonding surface thereof. Roughening of the foil surface prior to formation of the layer provides highly peel-resistant bonding of the foil thereat to resin-containing substrates of the type found in typical printed circuit boards. The provision of a chromate layer on the cobalt further improves the adhesion between the copper foil and resin-containing substrates.

  • Patent number: 4404049
    Abstract: Hard facing nickel-base alloys comprising 0.05 to 1.5% by weight of boron, 3 to 7% by weight of silicon, 7.5 to 35% by weight of chromium, 0.05 to 1.5% by weight of carbon, and if necessary, less than 30% by weight of iron and/or less than 5% by weight of tungsten, the balance being nickel, with the weight ratio of silicon to boron being equivalent to or exceeding 3.3. The alloys have a high degree of toughness, ductility, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and no cracks occur in the hard facing layer. Addition of 0.1 to 3% by weight of the tin and/or 0.1 to 3% by weight of tantalum remarkably increases the corrosion resistance. The alloys can be used as a hard facing material to be applied to parts of various instruments, machines and plants.

  • Patent number: 4387006
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of treating the surface of the copper foil used in printed wire boards, in which the copper foil, of which the surface thereof was preliminarily roughened, is electrolytically treated in an aqueous solution of zinc chromate containing zinc ions and chromium (VI) ions at a definite range of ratio; the thus-treated copper foil is then preferably immersed in an aqueous solution containing amino silane, sodium silicate and/or potassium silicate at a definite ratio.The use of the so-treated copper foil in multi-layer glass/epoxy printed wire boards (NEMA grade, FR4, FR5) serves to prevent the generation of brown spottings and the elimination of the delamination of the copper conductors. In addition, the use of the so treated copper foil in flame resistant paper/phenol printed wiring boards (NEMA grade FR2) leads to the elimination of the poor adhesive properties and delamination of copper conductors.
