A coating for vehicle components, such as frame assemblies and cradle assemblies formed of steel, is provided. The coating includes a first layer including a high phosphate composition applied to the substrate, and a second layer including wax applied to the first layer. For example, the first layer can include a first inorganic acid, an inorganic salt, a second inorganic acid, nickel salt, and ammonium bifluoride; and the second layer can include petroleum, carbon black pigment, and a corrosion inhibitor, the corrosion inhibitor including magnesium. The coating has been found to improve corrosion resistance when applied to steel substrates, compared to wax coatings which are currently applied to steel substrates.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a flame treatment device which is capable of performing a flame treatment on a metal-based base material without requiring a preheat treatment. For the purpose of solving the above-described problem, a flame treatment device according to the present invention comprises: a first temperature measurement unit which measures the temperature of a metal-based base material before a flame treatment; a control unit which determines the combustion energy of flame on the basis of the temperature before a flame treatment, said temperature having been measured by the first temperature measurement unit, so that the surface temperature of the metal-based base material during the flame treatment is 56 C. or higher; and a flame treatment unit which performs a flame treatment on the metal-based base material on the basis of the combustion energy, which has been determined by the control unit.

A method for bonding a polymeric fill material onto a surface of a substrate is described, and includes exposing the surface of the substrate to a microwave-generated argon-hydrogen plasma for a predetermined time period, applying, via a microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition process, a SiOx surface coating onto the surface of the substrate, and executing a post-treatment process to the SiOx surface coating. The polymeric fill material may be applied onto the substrate and subjected to curing.

A method for forming a polyethylene and alumina nanocomposite coating on a substrate is described. The method may use microparticles of UHMWPE with nanoparticles of alumina to form a powder mixture, which is then applied to a heated steel substrate to form the nanocomposite coating. The nanocomposite coating may have a Vickers hardness of 10.5-12.5 HV.

With a view to simultaneously achieving reduction in sputter adhesion to an electronic article and improvement in durability required for maintenance of a film, the electronic article (10) has a film (3) which is formed on the surface of an underlayer member (1) and which is composed of a calcined and cured product of a film solution of a binder resin comprising a fluorine-based resin and a ceramic filler, wherein the fluorine-based resin is distributed increasingly more in the film (3) toward the surface on the side opposite to the underlayer member (1).

A solid-state lubricant composition is disclosed. The solid-lubricant contains graphene, an oxide of a metal, and one or more polymeric binders. A method of making a solid-state lubricant coating on various substrates is disclosed. The method includes the steps of making a homogeneous slurry comprising powder of an oxide of a metal, graphene, and a polymeric binder with organic volatile solvent; coating a substrate with the homogeneous slurry with desired thicknesses; and drying the slurry on the substrate naturally or applying additional heat, resulting in a solid lubricant coating on the substrate. Substrates with coated solid composite lubricant show wear reduction and lower coefficient of friction compared with uncoated substrates.
