Abstract: A corrosion inhibiting primer for metal pieces which need not be removed prior to welding the pieces includes an alkali metal silicate binder having a silicone wetting agent incorporated therewith, a powder metal and an oxygen scavenger. The primer can be sprayed onto the metal. Zero porosity welds can be achieved up to speeds of about 750 mms/sec. by welding through the primer.
Abstract: A method and composition for coating an automotive brake rotor to render it corrosion resistant without impeding the braking function of the rotor, includes cleaning the rotor and thereafter applying a coating composition thereto which composition includes an inorganic alkali metal-silicate binder and a finely divided metal admixed therewith.
