An electrolyte solution for iron-tungsten plating is prepared by dissolving in an aqueous medium a divalent iron salt (e.g., iron (II) sulfate) and an alkali metal citrate (e.g., sodium citrate, potassium citrate, or other alkali metal citrate) to form a first solution, dissolving in the first solution a tungstate salt (e.g., sodium tungstate, potassium tungstate, or other potassium tungstate) to form a second solution, and dissolving in the second solution a citric acid to form the electrolyte solution. An iron-tungsten coating is formed on a substrate using the electrolyte solution by passing a current between a cathode and an anode through the electrolyte solution to deposit iron and tungsten on the substrate.

Combined sheets and a method of producing combined sheets. A combined sheet includes a main sheet including a first main indentation feature providing a first overhang over a first portion of the main sheet and a second main indentation feature providing a second overhang over a second portion of the main sheet. The combined sheet also includes a foundation sheet abutting the main sheet. The foundation sheet includes a first foundation indentation feature crimped to the first main indentation feature and a second foundation indentation feature crimped to the second main indentation feature. The first overhang and the second overhang provides overhangs in different directions to prohibit separation of the foundation sheet from the main sheet. The method of producing the combined sheet includes co-locating the main sheet to abut the foundation sheet and pressing one or more indentation punches for forming indentation features providing overhangs in different directions.

A multilayer magnetic sheet includes at least one first layer in which a plurality of magnetic strips are arranged side by side; at least one second layer in which the plurality of magnetic strips are arranged side by side, a direction of the long side of the at least one second layer intersecting that of the at least one first layer; and at least one third layer in which the plurality of magnetic strips are arranged side by side, a direction of the long side of the at least one third layer being the same as that of the at least one first layer. A position of the long side in the at least one first layer and a position of the long side in the at least one third layer are separated from each other by 0.5 mm or more in a direction in which the short side extends.

A burn barrier unit used between gas canisters in a work area. The unit has two spaced-apart panels defining a side opening. First, second, and third flap portions of the two panels are bent 90 degrees and are overlapped and welded together to form a closed top and bottom unit. Optionally, the first and second flap portions of the panels are bent 180 degrees inwardly of the panels and the third flap portions of the panels are overlapped and welded together to form an opened top and bottom burn barrier unit. An anchor bar is welded in the side opening and has spaced-apart slots for securing an anchor element, which securely positions the unit in place between the gas canisters. The unit meets OSHA standards, is at least five feet high, and is made of carbon steel with fire resistant capabilities. Methods for forming the unit are also disclosed.

The present disclosure provides cladding in which at least two layers of alloys are joined, the cladding having high wear resistance, high workability, and excellent strength at the joining interface of the alloys. The cladding is composed of two or more layers including a first alloy and a second alloy joined to the first alloy. The hardness of the second alloy of the cladding is greater than that of the first alloy, and the difference in hardness between the first alloy and the second alloy is at least HRC 44. When a shearing test based on JIS G 0601 is performed on the cladding, the breakage is on the first alloy side.
