  • Patent number: 5135817
    Abstract: Zn-Mg alloy is plated by vapor deposition on the surface of metals. Since Zn and Mg are vapor-deposited as a vapor mixture of an optional ratio on the surface of metals, plated layers of excellent corrosion resistance, peeling resistance of coating film, formability, etc. can be formed. There is disclosed a method of forming uniform vapor mixtures of Zn and Mg, and vapor-depositing them on the surface of metals as the method forming the vapor-deposited layers.

  • Patent number: 4369073
    Abstract: A thin corrosion protective film of an iron oxide can be formed on the inner surface of a condenser tube made of a copper alloy by first applying on the inner surface a thin layer of an acidic suspension containing iron powder and then exposing the thus-coated inner surface to an atmosphere of an oxidizing gas. The above method can be carried out in a relatively short period of time and also in a relatively simple fashion. The resultant protective film is uniform and hardly reduces the thermal conductivity of the condenser tube, thus ideal as a protective film for condenser tubes of a heat exchanger.

  • Patent number: 4154897
    Abstract: This invention relates to a novel chemical apparatus, the inner surfaces of which are constituted by titanium material. The invention solves the problems of crevice corrosion and embrittlement of the material by taking in hydrogen, and discloses a method of solving such problems.The prior art methods of preventing crevice corrosion in apparatus prepared from titanium metal and also preventing the titanium of such apparatus from becoming fragile due to absorption of hydrogen include a method , in which an element of the platinum group is deposited on the surface of the titanium material and diffused thereinto. Alternatively, a Ti-Pd alloy is used as the material of the apparatus. Such methods, however, complicate the manufacture of the apparatus and are also disadvantageous in view of the cost of the great quantity of the platinum group element such as palladium which is consumed.
