  • Patent number: 5772865
    Abstract: An electrolytic conversion solution for metal surface treatment comprises (A) a vanadate or a vanadium salt of an inorganic acid and (B) an organic acid having a reducing ability, and has a pH of not less than 7. The electrolytic conversion solution can be employed in a method for electrolytic conversion treatment which comprises the steps of immersing a subject to be treated in the treating solution and then cathodically electrolyzing the subject in the solution. The electrolytic conversion solution is free of any chromate compound and permits the formation of uniform corrosion-resistant film on the surfaces of various kinds of metallic materials without impairing the working environment and causing any environmental pollution.

  • Patent number: 5653796
    Abstract: An admixture for cement comprises phosphorous acid and/or a salt thereof or a waste fluid originated from an electroless nickel-plating process which contains phosphorous acid and/or a salt thereof. The admixture is used as a setting accelerator, a rust proofing agent for reinforcing steel or a frost resistive agent for concrete and mortar as hydraulic cement blends. The admixture not only permits improvement of the resulting concrete in the setting-accelerating effect, but also can maintain the compressive strength at a high level while maintaining the bleeding rate at a low level.
