  • Patent number: 7651556
    Abstract: A protective coating is formed on a metallic material surface by applying a treating agent comprising water, an alkali silicate, and, optionally, a lubricating component to the surface and drying the treating agent. The coating film thereby formed has excellent anti-galling and rust preventive properties. If a lubricating component is present, the coating film also has excellent self-lubricating properties.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7462582
    Abstract: A waterborne composition for forming protective coatings to provide, by a simple method comprising coating and drying onto a metal surface, a coating that is uniform with little unevenness and that has an excellent galling resistance and workability that are at least as good as the corresponding properties afforded by conversion treatment methodologies, contains water-soluble inorganic salt and smectite-type clay mineral. The lubrication performance of the coating can also be improved when said composition additionally contains a lubricating component.
