The corrosion resistance of an aluminum or aluminum alloy component is enhanced by immersing an aluminum alloy to act as a cathode and an oxygen-evolving anode in an electrolyte comprising water, cerium ions, and an additive selected from among animal gelatin, derivatives of animal gelatin, and amino acids, then passing an electrical current through the electrolyte to deposit a cerium-based coating onto the aluminum-based component.
摘要:
Corrosion resistance of metallic components such as stainless steel components of vehicles, and especially aluminum-based components of aircraft, is enhanced by application of an e-coat paint or primer which is enhanced by incorporation of cerium ions into the e-coat electrolytic bath. The resulting overall coating includes a cerium-based layer under a cerium-enhanced e-coat paint or primer layer.

A method is provided for evaluating an unknown electrolytic system comprising an electrolytic solution and electrodes for electrodeposition of metal with respect to determining the performance characteristics of the electrolytic solution, detection of impurities and additives in the electrolytic solution, estimation of the current efficiency characteristics of the system, or determining the performance characteristics of an electrode. An electrolytic circuit is established comprising a sample of the electrolytic solution for the system, two electrodes immersed in the solution and spaced from one another therein, and a variable and reversible voltage source having its output terminals respectively connected to the electrodes. A predetermined initial voltage is applied to one of the electrodes constituting a working electrode. Thereafter, the voltage is varied in the negative direction until a predetermined cathodic current or predetermined maximum voltage sufficient to cause a cathodic reaction is attained at the working electrode. The direction of the voltage change is then reversed and the voltage is varied in the positive direction until a predetermined minimum voltage or a predetermined minimum current is attained at the working electrode. This process is repeated through a plurality of cycles and the current obtained is recorded as a function of voltage for a selected cycle. The performance characteristics of the sample solution, the presence of an impurity or additive, the current efficiency, or the working electrode characteristics are determined according to the recorded relationship between current and voltage. This method is useful in the control of electrodeposition processes since it not only provides a basis for evaluating electrolytic solutions and electrodes but further constitutes an analytical tool adapted for determining compositional adjustments necessary for optimum cell performance.

Mixed-metal automotive vehicle bodies-in-white comprising ferrous metal surfaces, zinc surfaces, aluminum alloy surfaces, and magnesium alloy surfaces are cleaned and immersed in an aqueous bath comprising an adhesion promoter and an aqueous electrocoat bath (the adhesion promoter may be in the electrocoat bath. The adhesion promoter, which may be a cerium salt, is selected to react with each metal in the body surfaces to form an oxide layer that provides corrosion resistance for the surface and adherence for the deposited polymeric paint coating. The body is cathodic in the electrocoat deposition.

摘要:
An electroless plating method for providing a thin adherent substantially continuous metallic layer over an osseous substrate such as a tooth structure. The method comprises contacting the substrate with an aqueous plating mixture containing a water-soluble salt of a metal selected from the group consisting of gold, silver, copper, nickel, platinum, palladium and tin, and a reducing agent for the metal ions of said salt. The plating mixture is maintained in contact with the substrate for a time sufficient for the metallic layer to form thereon. The metallic layer so provided is adapted for subsequent application of a tooth restorative material such as a dental amalgam for carrying out a tooth restoration.
摘要:
Aqueous solutions containing metal cations, that may include cations of both desired metal and impurity or secondary metal, are treated with an organic liquid extractant suitable for the extraction of cations of the desired metal, cations of at least one secondary metal being co-extracted. After phase disengagement, the loaded organic phase containing cations of either a desired metal or desired metal together with at least one secondary metal is contacted with a solid metal or solid metal alloy capable of reducing in the organic phase cations of either a desired metal or a secondary metal from a higher to a lower state of oxidation. Depending on the extracted metal(s) and the added solid metal or alloy, cations of the at least one extracted metal are reduced to the lower state of oxidation and either are deposited (cemented) in the metallic state onto the solid metal or alloy, or are partially reduced in the organic phase to a lower oxidation state with the solid metal or alloy being oxidized in part. The method of galvanic stripping is carried out at ambient pressures and at ambient or slightly elevated temperatures.
