Wear resistant articles are described herein which, in some embodiments, mitigate CTE differences between wear resistant components and metallic substrates. In one aspect, an article comprises a layer of sintered cemented carbide bonded to a layer of iron-based alloy via a metal-matrix composite bonding layer, wherein coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) of the sintered cemented carbide layer, metal matrix composite bonding layer, and iron-based alloy layer satisfy the relation:

[00001]$x=\frac{\left(.Math.C.Math..Math.T.Math..Math.E.Math..Math.\mathrm{WC}-C.Math..Math.T.Math..Math.E.Math..Math.M.Math..Math.M.Math..Math.C.Math.\right)}{\left(.Math.C.Math..Math.T.Math..Math.E.Math..Math.M.Math..Math.M.Math..Math.C-C.Math..Math.T.Math..Math.E.Math..Math.\mathrm{Fe}.Math.\right)}$

wherein 0.5x2 and CTE WC, CTE MMC and CTE Fe are the CTE values for the sintered cemented carbide, metal matrix composite, and iron-based a

A structure containing a Sn layer or a Sn alloy layer includes a substrate, a Sn layer or Sn alloy layer formed above the substrate, and an under barrier metal formed between the substrate and the Sn layer or Sn alloy layer in the form of a single metal layer containing any one of Fe, Co, Ru and Pd, or an alloy layer containing two or more of Fe, Co, Ru and Pd.

In laminating resin layers on both surfaces of a metal foil layer by adhering a heat-resistant resin layer to a first surface of the metal foil layer and adhering a heat-sealable resin layer to a second surface thereof, as an adhering method, by employing an adhesive agent unapplied portion forming and adhering process in which the resin layer and the metal foil layer are adhered together by applying an adhesive agent to a region of a joining face of both the layers excluding a part of the region so that an adhesive agent unapplied section is formed, a laminated body having the adhesive agent unapplied section is manufactured. A resin layer removal process for removing a resin layer corresponding to the adhesive agent unapplied section of the laminated body to expose the metal foil layer is performed.

The present invention provides a nickel-plated heat-treated steel sheet for a battery can (1), having a nickel layer with a nickel amount of 4.4 to 26.7 g/m.sup.2 on a steel sheet (11), wherein when the Fe intensity and the Ni intensity are continuously measured along the depth direction from the surface of the nickel-plated heat-treated steel sheet for a battery can, by using a high frequency glow discharge optical emission spectrometric analyzer, the difference (D2-D1) between the depth (D1) at which the Fe intensity exhibits a first predetermined value and the depth (D2) at which the Ni intensity exhibits a second predetermined value is less than 0.04 m.

A sheet-type aerosol generating article includes at least two aerosol generating sheets each having aerosol generating material and an inductively heatable susceptor The inductively heatable susceptor is positioned between the aerosol generating sheets and each of the aerosol generating sheets has an exposed surface. Methods for manufacturing sheet-type aerosol generating articles are also disclosed.

The disclosure describes techniques for joining a first component comprising a first metal or alloy and a second component comprising a second metal or alloy to each other. The techniques may include positioning the first and second component adjacent to each other to define a joint region between adjacent portions of the first component and the second component. The techniques also may include positioning a pre-sintered preform (PSP) braze material in the joint region, heating the PSP braze material to form a molten braze alloy, and cooling the molten braze alloy to join the first and second components. The PSP braze material may include a wide gap braze material.

An object is to provide a coloring technique that makes it possible to impart luster while providing a vivid color, and further to provide a coloring technique that makes it possible to retain more unevenness when a substrate has unevenness. This object is achieved by a laminated sheet comprising a fiber substrate and a metalloid element-containing layer disposed on or above the surface of the fiber substrate.
