Disclosed are methods of forming a multiple coating on a dry plating member and a molded article manufactured using the same. The method may include applying a color coating agent onto a surface of a plating layer of a plating member and then drying the applied color coating agent to form a color coating layer, and applying a clear coating agent onto a surface of the color coating layer and curing the applied clear coating agent to form a clear layer, wherein the plating member includes a substrate, an undercoat layer formed on a surface of at least a part of the substrate, and a plating layer formed on a surface of the undercoat layer.

A method for decorating a translucent container including cleaning an exterior surface of the container and applying a silver layer to the exterior surface followed by a black layer applied over the silver layer. Portions of the silver and black layers are selectively removed to form one or more shapes using a laser. A translucent protective layer is applied over the entire exterior of the container.

An article and method for forming a coated metal pipe for use as an automotive fluid transport tube including a copper plated carbon steel tubing formed into a circular cross sectional profile. At least one intermediate layer including any of a corrosion inhibiting zinc/aluminum alloy, electroplated zinc or hot dip aluminum is applied over said tubing. One or more outer polymer or copolymer layers are applied over the intermediate layer, with the outer layer or multi-layers compounded with a graphene or graphene oxide powder.

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 home appliance includes a hairline. A manufacturing method for a home appliance including a hairline includes forming at least one plating layer on a base material; processing a transverse hairline on an upper surface of a plating layer by tilting a hairline processing wheel at a predetermined angle, and forming a coating layer on the hairline. A home appliance having corrosion resistance and anti-fingerprint properties is produced while generating a transverse hairline. In addition, it is possible not to perform a separate plating after hairline processing.

The present invention relates to methods of forming a film between two surfaces, in which the film includes diamond-like carbon. Also provided herein are uses of such films, such in sliding contacts and in metal coatings.

A system having a removable electronic component employs an abrasion-resistant thermally conductive film as a thermal interface between the removable electronic component and a heat sink. The abrasion-resistant film reduces thermal impedance between the removable electronic component and the heat sink when the removable electronic component is repeatedly installed and removed from a chamber in a host device. The abrasion-resistant film includes a polymer formed from a silicone-containing resin and an inorganic particulate filler; the film may also be interlocked with a corrosion protection layer at the heat sink. A method of forming a heat sink is provided that minimizes increases in thermal impedance.

A method of manufacturing a tinted metal plated substrate includes injection molding a tinted polymer layer onto an activated metal layer of a metal plated substrate. The tinted polymer layer is a tinted polyurethane layer or a tinted polyurea layer and the activated metal layer can be a plasma activated metal layer, for example, an oxygen plasma activated metal layer that is free of a coupling agent when the tinted polymer layer is injected molded thereon. At least one additional metallic layer can be disposed between the activated metal layer and a polymer substrate. For example, at least one of a nickel layer and a copper layer can be disposed between an activated chromium layer and a polymer substrate.

A method of manufacturing a multiple-color plating member includes forming a copper plating layer on at least a part of a surface of a substrate, forming a nickel plating layer on a surface of the copper plating layer, forming a chromium plating layer on a surface of the nickel plating layer, applying a color coating agent onto a surface of the chromium plating layer and then drying the applied color coating agent to form a color coating layer, and applying a clear coating agent onto a surface of the color coating layer and photocuring the applied clear coating agent to form a clear layer. The color coating agent includes 10 to 35% by weight of a modified acrylic resin, 1 to 25% by weight of a pigment, and 40 to 80% by weight of a first solvent. The clear coating agent includes 10 to 30% by weight of a polyester-modified acrylic resin, 5 to 25% by weight of an acrylic oligomer, 5 to 45% by weight of an acrylic monomer, 1 to 15% by weight of a photoinitiator, and 10 to 75% by weight of a second solvent.
