  • STAINLESS STEEL SHEET COATED WITH A SELF-CLEANING COATING
    Publication number: 20090130410
    Abstract: The invention has as an object a stainless steel sheet coated with a coating comprising, in the order starting from the surface of the said sheet: a barrier layer of metallic oxide or oxy-hydroxide MOx, or of metallic nitride or oxy-nitride NMx, having a thickness ranging between 5 and 1000 nm, a porous layer of titanium oxide TiOx having a thickness ranging between 5 and 1000 nm, the said TiOx layer having a voluminal porosity ranging between 10 and 50% and a mean pore size ranging between 0.5 and 100 nm and an upper layer of silicon oxide or oxy-hydroxide SiOx having a thickness ranging between 5 and 1000 nm. The invention also relates to the method for manufacture of this coated sheet.

  • Process and apparartus for preparing especially metallic and semi-metallic bands of small thickness
    Patent number: 4967828
    Abstract: The invention relates to the preparation of especially metallic or semi-metallic bands or sheets, particularly with a microcrystalline or amorphous structure. According to this process, an electrically conductive molten material is made to flow from a tank through a nozzle, to form a strip of substantially rectangular cross-section, which is subsequently solidified. According to the invention, the form of the strip of liquid material is stabilized, after it has been shaped and before solidification, as a result of a mechanical surface effect induced by an alternating magnetic field.
