Abstract:
A method and apparatus for processing an object (4), for example an aluminium aircraft part, the method comprising: performing a first conversion coating process to dispose a first conversion coating (10) onto at least part of a surface of the object (4); partially masking the first conversion coating (10) disposed on the object (4); performing an etching process to remove, from the object (4), an unmasked portion of the first conversion coating (10) while retaining the masked portion of the first conversion coating (10) on the object (4); and performing a second conversion coating process to dispose a second conversion coating (12) onto a region of the surface of the object (4) from which the unmasked portion of the first conversion coating (10) was removed. A paint layer (14) may then be applied to, e.g., the second conversion coating (12).

To provide an electrolytic copper foil for a negative electrode for a lithium-ion secondary battery with which it is possible to produce a long-life lithium-ion secondary battery in which there is no decline in the capacity retention ratio even when the charge-discharge cycling is repeated, that has long life, and no deformation of a negative electrode current collector occurs. The electrolytic copper foil constituting the negative electrode current collector for the lithium-ion secondary battery has, after heat treatment at from 200 to 400° C., a 0.2% proof stress of 250 N/mm2 or more, and elongation of 2.5% or more; and the surface on which an active material layer of the electrolytic copper foil is provided has been rust-proofed, or roughened and rust-proofed. As a result of analysis of the depth profile (depth direction) obtained by performing secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) in the thickness direction of the copper foil, the copper foil including: chlorine (Cl), carbon (C), and oxygen (O) each in a concentration of 1017 to 5×1020 atoms/cm3, and sulfur (S) and nitrogen (N) each in a concentration of 1015 to 1019 atoms/cm3.
Abstract:
A hearth roll includes a base roll, a thermally sprayed coating formed on the base roll, and a modified coating formed on the thermally sprayed coating. The modified coating is formed by modifying a part or the whole of a surface of the thermally sprayed coating by melting and solidification of the thermally sprayed coating, by irradiating a part or the whole of the surface of the thermally sprayed coating with an energy beam. The thickness of the modified coating is from 2 to 20 μm, and the Vickers hardness HV of the modified coating is from 1.2 to 1.4 times larger than the Vickers hardness HV of the thermally sprayed coating.
Abstract:
A method for passivating a metal surface including, generating an atmospheric plasma beam by electrical discharge in a working gas, introducing an acid-containing passivating agent into the plasma beam, applying the plasma beam containing the passivating agent the metal surface, and depositing a passivating salt on the metal surface by a reaction between the acid-containing passivating agent and the metal surface. This method simplifies the process for passivating a metal surface and renders it more effective.

Abstract:
A method for protecting from corrosion an element comprised of magnesium or a magnesium alloy comprises applying an adhesion promoter after applying a chromate solution to a surface of the element, whereby the chromate solution creates a corrosion-resistant chromate layer on the surface. The method further includes applying an organic coating, such as a resin seal, over the adhesion promoter so as to provide a seal from water and corrosive elements. The adhesion promoter provides improved adhesion between the chromate layer and the organic coating. Corrosion may be removed from the magnesium element before the application of the chromate solution.
