  • Rare earth metal oxide coatings prepared with rare earth metal nitrate or acetate solutions for improving high temperature oxidation and corrosion of stainless steels
    Patent number: 11326260
    Abstract: To improve oxidation and corrosion resistance of stainless steel, it is not necessary to apply suspensions containing nanoparticles of rare earth metal oxides. Rare earth metal nitrates or acetates in aqueous solution improve the oxidation and corrosion resistance of stainless steels when applied to the surface of the steels. Further oxidation and corrosion resistance can be provided by the addition of chromium or aluminum acetate, nitrate, or sulfate to the rare earth metal nitrate or acetate aqueous solutions before application to the steel.

  • Stainless steel pickling in an oxidizing, electrolytic acid bath
    Patent number: 9580831
    Abstract: A pickling process designed for pickling a metal strip such as a stainless steel strip reduces the amount of HF and/or HNO3. The strip is immersed in at least one first pickling tub that contains a mixture of an acid such as H2SO4, an excess of at least one oxidizing agent, and includes electrodes that may apply a current to the strip that runs through the mixture.
