The present invention discloses a magnesium alloy surface coating method and a corrosion-resistant magnesium alloy prepared thereby. The method includes the following steps: conducting pretreatment on a magnesium alloy substrate; depositing a metal film by sputtering on the surface of the pre-treated magnesium alloy substrate; and depositing a Si.sub.3N.sub.4 film by sputtering on the surface of the magnesium alloy substrate on which the metal film is deposited. The metal is any one of Nb, Cr, and Ta. The method in the present invention can provide effective protection for a magnesium alloy, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the magnesium alloy.

A coated substrate, includes a coating that includes, starting from the substrate in this order: a) a layer of diamond-like carbon (DLC), b) a metallic, single-ply or multi-ply layer, and c) an oxygen barrier layer, wherein the metallic, single-ply or multi-ply layer contains b1) tin or tin and at least one alloying element for tin, which are present unalloyed and/or alloyed, or b2) magnesium and at least one alloying element for magnesium, which are present unalloyed and/or alloyed. The coated substrate protects the DLC layer, as a result of which said layer can be tempered. The coating has good mechanical stability and good aging stability before heat treatment.

A coated metallic substrate is provided, including, at least; one layer of oxides, such layer being directly topped by an intermediate coating layer comprising Fe, Ni, Cr and Ti wherein the amount of Ti is above or equal to 5 wt. % and wherein the following equation is satisfied: 8 wt. %<Cr+Ti<40 wt. %, the balance being Fe and Ni, such intermediate coating layer being directly topped by a coating layer being an anticorrosion metallic coating.

Substrate provided with a plurality of layers, at least one of which includes metal oxides and is topped directly by a metal coating layer that contains at least 8% by weight nickel and at least 10% by weight chromium, the remainder being iron, additional elements and the impurities resulting from the fabrication process, wherein this metal coating layer is topped directly by an anticorrosion coating layer. A corresponding fabrication method is also provided.

A thixomolding material includes: a metal body that contains Mg as a main component; and a coating portion that is adhered to a surface of the metal body via a binder and contains SiC particles containing SiC as a main component. A mass fraction of the SiC particles in a total mass of the metal body and the SiC particles is 2.0 mass % or more and 40.0 mass % or less. The binder may contain waxes. A content of the binder may be 0.001 mass % or more and 0.200 mass % or less.

Provided is a plated steel sheet often used as materials for vehicles, home appliances, construction and the like and, more specifically, to a plated steel sheet having a multilayer structure and a method for manufacturing the same.

Disclosed are a hot dip coated steel and a method for manufacturing the same, the hot dip coated steel comprising a hot rolled steel and a hot dip coated layer formed on the surface of the hot rolled steel, wherein the hot rolled steel comprises: by wt %, 0.05-0.15% of C, 0.5% or less of Si (excluding 0%), 0.5-1.5% of Mn, 0.01-0.05% of Nb, 0.005-0.05% of V, 0.03% or less of P (excluding 0%), 0.015% of S or less (excluding 0%), 0.05% or less of Al (excluding 0%), 0.01% or less of N (excluding 0%), and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities; 90 area % or more of ferrite as the microstructure thereof; and 5,000-15,000/m.sup.2 of V-based precipitates.

The invention provides a coated steel including a steel, a coated metal layer coated on a surface of the steel, and an interfacial alloy layer formed at the boundary between the steel and the coated metal layer, in which the coated metal layer has a predetermined composition and structure, and in which the thickness of the coated metal layer is 0.1 m or more, and the thickness of the interfacial alloy layer is 500 nm or less.

An inexpensive bonding method is provided to bond materials constituted of an aluminum-based metal to each other at a low temperature and a low pressure while inhibiting deformation, without requiring the use of a flux and minimizing the influence on the base materials and the periphery. Also provided are various bonded parts obtained by the bonding method. An insert material comprising Zn as an element that undergoes a eutectic reaction with Al is interposed between two materials constituted of an aluminum-based metal. The two materials are heated, while being pressed against each other, to a temperature at which the eutectic reaction takes place, thereby generating, at the bonding interface between the two materials, a melt due to the eutectic reaction with some of the Al contained in the base materials and discharging the Al oxide films from the bonding interface together with the melt. Thus, the two materials are bonded.
