Disclosed is a hot-stamping component, which includes a base steel plate; and a plated layer on the base steel plate and including a first layer, a second layer, and an intermetallic compound portion having an island shape in the second layer, wherein the first layer and the second layer are sequentially stacked, and an area fraction of the intermetallic compound portion with respect to the second layer is an amount of 20% to 60%.

The present disclosure provides a method for enhancing resistance to delamination of a coating layer applied to a rigid, monolithic substrate (204, 404). The method comprises forming a plurality of holes (208, 408) on the substrate (204, 404), to define passages from a first operative surface to a second operative surface of the substrate (204, 404). The first operative surface is coated with a first coating material and the second operative surface is coated with a second coating material, to obtain a first operative surface having a first coating layer (202, 402), and a second operative surface having a second coating layer (206, 406). A portion of the first coating material and/or the second coating material is allowed to flow through the passages to configure contiguous ties (210, 410) between the first and the second coating layer. The contiguous ties formed between the first and the second coating layer aid in enhancing the resistance to delamination of the coating layer applied to the rigid, monolithic substrate (204, 404).

Nanocomposite anticorrosion coating can be achieved by depositing alternating, multilayers of a cross-linkable polymer and dispersed and aligned inorganic platelets followed by cross-linking of the cross-linkable polymer. The cross-linkable polymer can be an externally cross-linkable polymer that is cross-linked by diffusing a cross-linking agent into the deposited multilayer coating. Alternately, the cross-linkable polymer can be a functionalized cross-linkable polymer that is cross-linked by self-curing, thermal heat curing, or light (e.g., UV) following deposition of the multilayer coating.

A surface conditioning device for railway track rails and/or railway vehicle wheels includes a DC power supply, a supply of gas, a plasma delivery head connected to receive DC power from the power supply and gas from the gas supply, and an igniter for igniting the gas in the plasma delivery head. In use, plasma is generated within the delivery head by ignition of the gas in the delivery head. Plasma with gas is blown from the delivery head onto a railway track rail and/or railway vehicle wheel, thereby conditioning the rail and/or wheel.

A method of manufacturing a transparent pattern printed steel plate includes forming a printed paint film layer by jetting transparent ink onto at least one surface of a steel plate, and curing the printed paint film layer with ultraviolet light to form a cured printed paint film layer. Further, a method of manufacturing a transparent pattern printed steel plate includes preparing a steel plate having a color painted film layer formed on at least one surface thereof, forming a printed paint film layer by jetting transparent ink onto the color painted film layer, and curing the printed paint film layer to form a cured printed paint film layer.

An anti-corrosion composite layer includes a first anti-corrosion coating coated on a substrate, and a second anti-corrosion coating coated on the first anti-corrosion coating. The first anti-corrosion layer includes a plurality of first graphene nanosheets and a first carrier resin, wherein a surface of each the first graphene nanosheet has a first lipophilic functional group for chemically bonding to the first carrier resin, the first lipophilic functional group is selected from carboxyl, epoxy and amino. The second anti-corrosion coating includes a plurality of second graphene nanosheets and a second carrier resin, wherein a surface of each the second graphene nanosheet has a second lipophilic functional group for chemically bonding to the second carrier resin, the second lipophilic functional group is selected from hydroxyl and isocyanic acid group.

Manhole inserts suitable for deployment in a manhole opening of a manhole structure may include a manhole insert bottom. A manhole insert sidewall may extend from the manhole insert bottom. A manhole insert flange may extend from the manhole insert sidewall. A manhole insert gasket may be on the manhole insert flange, The manhole insert gasket may include a solidified, hardened, and cured gasket material having a synthetic silicone elastomer. The manhole insert gasket may be configured to remain exposed on the manhole insert flange prior to deployment of the manhole insert in the manhole opening of the manhole structure.

A coated steel sheet capable of implementing a rich three-dimensional effect, various patterns, and a natural esthetic sense and includes a steel sheet material which has a concave portion and a convex portion formed on one surface and a coating layer which is formed on the one surface by being coated on a coating material, wherein, as the coating layer is polished, at least a portion of the convex portion is exposed to an outside, and the concave portion is filled with the coating material.

A coating including polycarbonate-unit-containing polyurethane resin and 5 mass % or more of nonvolatile matter is applied to a traveling metal strip in a state in which the surface temperature of the metal strip is 60° C. or lower. Next, the coating applied to the metal strip is baked at 80-250° C., and a coating film having a film thickness of 0.3 μm or greater is formed on the traveling metal strip. The proportion of polycarbonate units to the total mass of resin in the coating film is 10-80 mass %. The traveling metal strip is then wound after being cooling to a surface temperature of 80° C. or lower.
