Patent number: 4713301Abstract: The Sn based multilayer coated steel strip for container-use is improved by the provision of a novel underlying coating of ternary Fe-Ni-P alloy which, mainly because of the Ni component, ensures a uniform deposition of the Sn layer, and mainly because of the P and Fe contents ensure a satisfactory remaining amount of free Sn for improving the weldability. The steel strip has a thin Sn plated layer and a chromate coating layer on the underlying coating.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 1986Date of Patent: December 15, 1987Assignee: Nippon Steel CorporationInventors: Seizun Higuchi, Tomonari Oga, Masao Ikeda, Hirohumi Nakano

Patent number: 4692388Abstract: Hydrogenated boron-silica alloy films having unexpected properties permitting in one embodiment the bonding together of metal and ceramic substrates by coating the surfaces to be bonded with the film mating the surfaces and heat treating the mated surfaces to expell hydrogen therefrom and to react to resulting boron-silicon alloy film with the substrates to form a liquid reaction product which forms a surface bond with the substrates or is at least partially absorbed in the substrates. In another embodiment, at least one surface of an intermetallic compound formed from elements selected from groups III and V of the periodic table is sealed against structural degradation by forming on the surface a solid boron-silicon-hydrogen alloy film. In still another embodiment, metal and organic resin substrates are protected against attack by water vapor, dissociated oxygen and molecular oxygen by forming a solid boron-silicon-hydrogen alloy film on the substrates.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 1986Date of Patent: September 8, 1987Assignee: Lockheed Missiles & Space Company, Inc.Inventors: Henry W. Lavendel, John C. Robinson
