摘要:
Uranium articles are provided with anodized oxide coatings in an aqueous solution of an electrolyte selected from the group consisting of potassium phosphate, potassium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, and a mixture of potassium tetraborate and boric acid. The uranium articles are anodized at a temperature greater than about 75.degree. C. with a current flow of less than about 0.036 A/cm.sup.2 of surface area while the pH of the solution is maintained in a range of about 2 to 11.5. The pH values of the aqueous solution and the low current density utilized during the electrolysis prevent excessive dissolution of the uranium and porosity in the film or watering. The relatively high temperature of the electrolyte bath inhibits hydration and the attendant deleterious pitting so as to enhance corrosion resistance of the anodized coating.

摘要:
Various metals may be anodized, and preferably barrier anodized, by anodizing the metal in an electrolyte comprising quaternary ammonium compound having a complex metal anion in a solvent containing water and a polar, water soluble organic material.
摘要:
An electrolytic process, an electrolytic solution and electrolytic assembly are disclosed, for anodizing in one main step non-ferrous metallic parts, or their alloys to form a uniform coating. The electrolytic solution is free of toxic or harmful chemicals. Examples of treatable metals include aluminum, cast aluminum, magnesium, hafnium, tantalum, titanium, vanadium, and zirconium. The treatment is a one-step process since the cleaning and coating of the nonferrous metals are performed in the same electrolytic cell or tank and solution, preferably using the same electrical device for both actions. No preliminary steps like degreasing, de-smutting or activation are needed due to the absence of toxic acids or salts in the process. The process is therefore eco-friendly, easy to perform and provides excellent results. The non-ferrous metallic parts once coated can be used in the automotive or aircraft industries.
摘要:
Techniques or processes for providing markings on products are disclosed. In one embodiment, the products have housings and the markings are to be provided on sub-surfaces of the housings. For example, a housing for a particular product can include an outer housing surface and the markings can be provided on a sub-surface the outer housing surface yet still be visible from the outside of the housing. Since the markings are beneath the surface of the housing, the markings are durable.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for forming surface coatings on a substrate by anodic oxidation, wherein the substrate contains, at least in those of its parts which are immediately sub-adjacent to its surface, at least one element selected from niobium, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, titanium and vanadium, or a conducting compound containing such a first element, and at least one second element, different from the first, selected notably from silicon, aluminum, gallium, tantalum, uranium and molybdenum, either in the metallic state, if it constitutes itself a semi-conductor element, or even an insulator, or in the combined or alloyed state with at least one other element to form a semi-conductor compound, or even an insulator, said second element being flush at least in part at the surface of the substrate.The invention also relates to the coatings themselves and which comprise a superficial layer and an inner layer of an oxide of the first element separated by an intermediate layer containing an oxide of the second element.
