A coated tool may include a base member and a coating layer. The coating layer may include a plurality of first AlTi layers indicated by Al.sub.1-x1Ti.sub.x1 and a plurality of second AlTi layers indicated by Al.sub.1-x2Ti.sub.x2. The coating layer may have alternating first AlTi layers and second AlTi layers, i.e. one upon another in a direction away from the base member, and x1 may be larger than x2. The plurality of first AlTi layers may include a first region having two or more adjacent first AlTi layers, where a first AlTi layer of the two or more adjacent first AlTi layers is located farther away from the base member and is smaller in thickness than a first AlTi layer of the two or more adjacent first AlTi layers located closer to the base member.

A radiator structure is provided. The radiator structure includes a substrate, a first metal coating layer and a second metal coating layer. The first metal coating layer and the second metal coating layer are made of materials different from one another, and are formed on the substrate by different processes. The first metal coating layer is a non-first masking area formed on the substrate by wet processing. The second metal coating layer is a non-second masking area correspondingly formed on the first metal coating layer and the substrate by sputtering. A first masking area and a second masking area are not necessarily the same.

A plated steel sheet for hot stamping including a base metal and a galvanized layer that is formed on a surface of the base metal, wherein the galvanized layer includes a galvannealed layer, a solidified zinc layer, and an oxide layer containing Al, in this order from the base metal, and a proportion of a content of Zn (g/m.sup.2) in the solidified zinc layer to a content of Zn (g/m.sup.2) in the galvanized layer is 10 to 95%.

Disclosed are a copper-clad laminate film and an electronic device including the same. The copper-clad laminate film includes: a polyimide-based substrate having a fluorine layer disposed on at least one side thereof; a tie-layer disposed on the polyimide-based substrate having the fluorine layer placed thereon; and a copper layer disposed on the tie layer, wherein the tie-layer includes at least one metal element selected from among metal elements of Group 4, Group 6, Group 13, and Group 14 in the Periodic Table, and the at least one metal element may have a metal-oxygen (M-O) bond dissociation energy of 400 kJ/mol or more.

Coated articles and methods for applying coatings are described. In some cases, the coating can exhibit desirable properties and characteristics such as durability, corrosion resistance, and high conductivity. The articles may be coated, for example, using an electrodeposition process.

A method for forming a circuit board having a dielectric core, a foil top surface, and a thin foil bottom surface with a removable foil backing of sufficient thickness to absorb heat from a laser drilling operation to prevent the penetration of the thin foil bottom surface during laser drilling utilizes a sequence of steps including a laser drilling step, removing the foil backing step, electroless plating step, patterned resist step, electroplating step, resist strip step, tin plate step, and copper etch step, which provide dot vias of fine linewidth and resolution.

A method of molding a metalized composite part. The method comprises: introducing particles comprising at least one metal into a gas stream; directing the gas stream toward a surface of a thermoplastic composite part, thereby depositing a metal layer on the composite part to form a metallized composite part; and molding the metallized composite part to introduce a bend without delamination of the metal layer from the metallized composite part.

A plated steel sheet includes: a steel sheet; and a plating layer that is formed on at least a part of a surface of the steel sheet, in which a chemical composition of the plating layer includes, by mass %, Al: more than 5.00% and 35.00% or less, Mg: 3.00% to 15.00%, Si: 0% to 2.00%, Ca: 0% to 2.00%, and a remainder of Zn and impurities, in which in a cross section of the plating layer in a thickness direction, the area ratio of a lamellar structure in which an (Al—Zn) phase and a MgZn.sub.2 phase are arranged in layers is 10% to 90%, a lamellar spacing of the lamellar structure is 2.5 μm or less, and the area ratio of an (Al—Zn) dendrite is 35% or less.

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing free-standing cladding tubes with multi-layer structures. According to the method, a cylindrical mandrel substrate defining a hollow cylindrical inner space is provided. A first cold spray powder metal is selected. The cylindrical mandrel substrate is rotated and the first cold spray powder metal is applied to an outer surface of the cylindrical mandrel substrate to form a first layer. The cylindrical mandrel substrate is removed.
