Publication number: 20090263579Abstract: Coating processes are often only intended to be applied locally. At the same time, local coating processes cannot always be used, so that frequently masking has to be used. A protective layer contains a binder and titanium oxide and can be used as a diffusion barrier, so that, in a coating process, the coating material is only applied locally. The binder is converted into carbon before the coating.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2006Publication date: October 22, 2009Inventors: Roman Karmazin, Steffen Walter

Publication number: 20090226758Abstract: A method for coating a tool or tool part, includes providing a base structure of the tool or the tool part at a temperature of 850° C. to 950° C. and applying at least one layer to the base structure. One or more layers of the at least one layer is formed of a metal carbonitride of composed of at least one of titanium, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium, tantalum and chromium. The one or more layers of the at least one layer is deposited by a deposition of a gas containing methane, nitrogen and at least one metal compound. After beginning the applying, the temperature is increased by at least 40° C. to an increased temperature and the deposition is continued for a time at the increased temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2006Publication date: September 10, 2009Applicant: BOEHLERIT GMBH & CO.

Patent number: 7572835Abstract: The invention concerns a colloidal dispersion of a phosphate of a rare earth and a process for its preparation. The dispersion is characterized in that it comprises anisotropic and disaggregated or disaggregatable particles of a phosphate of at least one rare earth and an anion of a monobasic acid, soluble in water and with a pKa of at least 2.5. It is prepared by a process in which a solution of a salt of at least one rare earth is mixed with phosphate ions while controlling the pH of the reaction medium to a value in the range 4 to 9 and in the presence of a monobasic acid, soluble in water and with a pKa of at least 2.5; the mixture obtained optionally undergoes a maturing step; the precipitate is then separated from the reaction medium; and said precipitate is then dispersed in water.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2006Date of Patent: August 11, 2009Assignee: Rhodia Electronics & CatalysisInventor: Jean-Yves Chane-Ching

Patent number: 7569613Abstract: The invention concerns an aqueous colloidal dispersion of isotropic particles of a phosphate of at least one rare earth and is characterized in that it comprises either a complexing agent with a pK (cologarithm of the dissociation constant of the complex formed by the complexing agent and said rare earth) of more than 2.5; or an anion of a monobasic acid, soluble in water and with a pKa in the range 2.5 to 5; or said complexing agent and/or said anion of a monobasic acid. In the case of cerium and lanthanum, the mean particle size is at most 20 nm. The dispersions can have a degree of colloid agglomeration of less than 40%.This dispersion can be prepared by forming an aqueous mixture comprising at least one rare earth salt and the complexing agent or monobasic acid anion; by adding a base then phosphate ions to the mixture formed; and heating the mixture obtained. A precipitate is obtained that is re-dispersed in water.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2007Date of Patent: August 4, 2009Assignee: Rhodia Electronics & CatalysisInventor: Jean-Yves Chane-Ching
