Yoon Han KIM has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11898262
    Abstract: Nickel-plated stainless steel sheets and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. Each of the nickel-plated stainless steel sheets includes a stainless steel base plate and a nickel plating layer formed on at least one surface of the stainless steel base plate by electroplating, in which the nickel plating layer includes a strike plating layer and a main plating layer which are sequentially laminated on the one surface of the stainless steel base plate.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230349062
    Abstract: A method of preparing a nickel-plated heat-treated steel sheet having excellent workability. The method includes the steps of forming a nickel layer by electroplating at least one surface of a base steel sheet with nickel (Ni); and forming a nickel-iron (Ni-Fe) alloy layer between the base steel sheet and the nickel layer through diffusion heat treatment of the base steel sheet and the nickel layer. The nickel-plated heat-treated steel sheet has a superficial Rockwell hardness of 52 to 62.

  • Patent number: 11802346
    Abstract: The present invention provides a nickel-plated and thermally-treated steel sheet with excellent corrosion resistance, in which a remaining nickel amount obtained by analyzing an nickel-iron alloy layer using energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) or electron probe X-ray microanalysis (EPMA) after pure nickel remaining on the nickel-iron alloy layer was completely removed after the heat treatment for alloying of a nickel plated layer with base iron is 0.1 wt % or more to less than 30 wt % of the total amount of iron and nickel.
