Process for DezincingGalvanized Steelus. Patent 5,779,878. July 14, 1998WA. Morgan et al., assignors to Metal RecoveryIndustries (US) Inc., East Chicago, Ind.
A process of removing zinc from galva•nized steel comprising immersing in anaqueous electrolyte containing sodium orpotassium hydroxide. galvanically corrod•ing the zinc from the surface of the galva•nized steel in a reaction in which there is ananode and a cathode. wherein the zincserves as the anode and the material serv•ing as the cathode is principally a materialhaving a standard electrode potential inler•mediate of the standard electrode potentialsof zinc and cadmium in the electrochemicalseries, and treating the galvanized steel toaccelerate the corrosion rate of the zincfrom the galvanized steel, said treatmentcomprising increasing the number densityof corrosion sites in the galvanized steel bymechanically abrading or deforming thegalvanized steel: heating the galvanizedsteel to form an alloy of zinc on the surfaceof the galvanized steel; mixing the galva•nized steel with a material having a stan-
dard electrode potential intermediate of thestandard electrode potentials of zinc andcadmium in the electrochemical series withthe proportion of said material being atleast 5% by weight of the mixture; or caus•ing the galvanized steel to move relative toitself and to the electrolyte while immersedin the electrolyte.
Method for Selective Platingus. Patent 5,779,921. July 14, 1998HE. Haslow el al., assignors 10 WL. Gore &Associates Inc., Newark, Del.
A method for making a substrate havingdifferential front-to-back terminal metalthickness comprising providing an organic•based substrate having a conductive metallayer on a front and back side Ihereof:protecting the back side of the substrate.metallizing the front side wherein the met•allizing is conducted by electroplatingwhile electrically bussing the front sidewith the back side; and unprolecling theback side and protecting the front side andmetallizing the back side by at least one ofelectroless plating or immersion plating.
Multilayer Coatingus. Patent 5.780,113. July 14, 1998Y. Masuda et al., assignors to Kansai Paint Co.Ltd., Japan
A method for fomling a multilayer coatingfilm by applying a clear coating on a film ofa leafing aluminum flake-containing metalliccoating. which method comprises forming afilm of the metallic coating. curing the film,applying thereon a composition containing apolymer formed from an unsaturated mono•mer having a phosphoric acid group and ahydroxyl group-containing unsaturatedmonomer. and then applying the clear coatingon a film of the composition.
