  • Patent number: 7789953
    Abstract: An aqueous phosphoric bonding solution consists essentially of phosphoric acid, a source of magnesium ions, and a leachable corrosion inhibitor. The bonding solution is stable with respect to inorganic metal particles, such as aluminum, which are admixed to the bonding solution for the preparation of a coating slurry. Metal parts coated with the coating compositions have very satisfactory properties such as heat and corrosion resistance.

  • Patent number: 7782994
    Abstract: This invention relates to an inhibitor of lead-induced stress corrosion cracking including nickel boride in the secondary side of steam generator tubes in nuclear power plants and an inhibition method using the same, and more particularly, to an inhibitor of lead-induced stress corrosion cracking, in which nickel boride is added to secondary side cooling water of the steam generator in an amount of 0.2˜6 g/l, and to an inhibition method using the same. According to this invention, when the inhibitor of lead-induced stress corrosion cracking is added to the secondary side of the steam generator tube in nuclear power plants, stress corrosion cracking of the tubes, which occurs in the lead-containing neutral or caustic solution, and a crack growth rate are decreased, thus increasing elongation. Further, a stress corrosion cracking ratio is decreased, and therefore the stress corrosion cracking resistance of metal or alloy can be improved.

  • Patent number: 7691498
    Abstract: A coating composition is disclosed that includes a binder, a tri-valent chromium solid, and a stabilized oxidizing agent. The coating composition is used in a method to protect a surface of a metallic article, such as an aluminum article. The tri-valent chromium solid forms a soluble hexavalent chromium compound as a result of reaction with the oxidizing agent when activated in the presence of a corrosive environment. The released water soluble hexavalent chromium migrates to coating defects to protect the metallic article.
