The present invention relates to a surface treatment composition comprising, on the basis of 100 wt % of the solid part of the composition, 20-40 wt % of a water-soluble polyurethane resin, 40-60 wt % of a silane-based sol-gel resin in which three types of silane compounds are cross-linked, 5-15 wt % of a curing agent, 0.5-1.5 wt % of a corrosion inhibitor, 0.1-1.0 wt % of a molybdenum-based compound, 1.0-3.0 wt % of a silane coupling agent; 1.0-2.0 wt % of an organometallic complex, 1.0-2.0 wt % of an acid scavenger, 0.1-1.0 wt % of an aluminum-based compound, and 1.0-2.0 wt % of a lubricant. A ternary hot-dip galvannealed steel sheet treated with a chromium-free surface treatment coating agent, according to an exemplary embodiment in the present invention, has excellent resistance to blackening, alkali and corrosion, and provides excellent effects without concern for problems, in chromium treatment, of additional equipment installation, an increase in manufacturing costs and environmental pollution.

This clear-coated stainless steel sheet includes: a stainless steel sheet; a clear resin layer formed on the stainless steel sheet; and resin beads (D) included in the clear resin layer, wherein the clear resin layer includes: a lowermost layer including a first thermosetting resin composition (A) containing an acryl resin (a1) having a crosslinking functional group; and an uppermost layer including a second thermosetting resin composition (B), and an average particle diameter of the resin beads (D) is 0.7 times to 1.5 times the film thickness of the clear resin layer.

A razor blade comprising a blade substrate with a blade edge substrate portion ending in blade tip. The razor blade is covered by a strengthening coating deposited on the blade edge substrate portion via a deposition process. The deposition process causes a hardness value of the strengthening coating layer to be increased, which, among other factors, allows for a decreased thickness of the blade substrate with coating. The blade substrate with coating has (i) a thickness of between about 1.57 and 2.37 micrometers measured at a distance of about five micrometers from the coating tip, (ii) a thickness of between about 4.62 and 6.74 micrometers measured at a distance of about twenty micrometers from the coating tip, and (iii) a thickness of between about 19.82 and 27.52 micrometers measured at a distance of about one hundred micrometers from the coating tip.

A method for coating a lubrication paint on a disk-shaped substrate, comprising: applying the lubrication paint on a sliding portion of the disk-shaped substrate from a paint supply nozzle while rotating the disk-shaped substrate in the horizontal plane; and leveling the lubrication paint applied on the sliding portion by contacting the lubrication paint with a doctor knife that is arranged at a downstream position in the direction of rotation of the disk-shaped substrate. The disk-shaped substrate may be the swash plate of a swash plate compressor.
