Abstract: A multiple layer erosion resistant coating on a substrate comprises alternate layers of tungsten and titanium diboride. All of the layers have the same thickness and preferably have thickness's of between 0.3 and 1 micrometer to give improved erosion resistance. The layers are produced by spattering.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a metal part coated with a layer of polycrystalline diamond includes fabricating a metal substrate having a surface to be coated, the metal substrate containing titanium, vanadium or alloys thereof; depositing a layer of at least 10% graphitic plus amorphous carbon and designed to diffuse fully through the titanium; and depositing a diamond coating on the carbon layer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multilayer material useful as an anti-erosion and anti-abrasion coating, and to a process for producing the multilayer material at low temperatures. The multilayer material comprises a substrate covered with at least one metallic tungsten ductile layer and at least one hard layer of a solid solution of an additional element chosen from carbon or nitrogen or a mixture of carbon and nitrogen in tungsten or a tungsten alloy, the two types of layers ar alternating. The multilayer material is particularly useful as a coating for parts used in aeronautics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multilayer material more particularly intended for producing an anti-erosion and anti-abrasion coating, as well as the process for producing this multilayer material. The aim of the invention is to produce a material which has a greater resistance and which can be deposited at low temperatures. This aim is achieved with the aid of a multilayer material, which is characterized in that it comprises a substrate covered with at least one metallic tungsten ductile layer and at least one hard layer of a solid solution of an additional element chosen from among carbon or nitrogen or a mixture of carbon and nitrogen in tungsten or a tungsten alloy, the two types of layers are alternating. The invention more particularly relates to the production of a coating for parts used in aeronautics.

Abstract: N-[2,3-(O-Isopropylidene)-(D)-ribityl]-3,4-xylidine is a new compound, which can be used as an intermediate for the preparation of N-(D)-ribityl-3,4-xylidine.

Abstract: A band filter adapted to pass only a band of determined wave length of the electromagnetic spectrum and comprising a support, at least partially transparent in the considered band, covered on one of its surfaces by a filtering element constituted of three metallic layers separated respectively by two layers of transparent material. The filter can employ anti-reflection coatings and binding and adherency layers.
