A molybdate solution is disclosed from which molybdate oxide coatings may be derived on metal particles or metal mesh. The coated metal particles may then be combined with a film forming binder and, optionally, corrosion inhibitors to make a corrosion composition. The coated metal mesh may then be used in making gaskets that inhibit corrosion.

A foundry dust compound reinforcing filler for natural rubber contains 40-80 parts by weight of foundry dust, 10-40 parts by weight of silica and 10-40 parts by weight of Carbon black. A method for preparing a foundry dust compound reinforcing filler for natural rubber includes the steps of sieving, iron removal, pickling, precipitation, primary grinding, mixing, secondary grinding, granulation and the like. The foundry dust compound reinforcing filler used for reinforcing natural rubber is easy to disperse in natural rubber. The compound reinforcing filler has excellent reinforcing effect, which realizes the resource utilization of casting dust waste and reduces the consumption of silica and carbon black.

The present invention relates to silicon coated metal microparticles in which at least a part of a surface of a metal microparticle composed of at least one of metal elements or metalloid elements is coated with silicon, wherein the silicon coated metal microparticles are a product obtained by a reduction treatment of silicon compound coated precursor microparticles in which at least a part of a surface of a precursor microparticle containing a precursor of the metal microparticles is coated with a silicon compound, or silicon doped precursor microparticles containing a precursor of the metal microparticles. Because it is possible particularly to strictly control a particle diameter of the silicon compound coated metal microparticle by controlling conditions of the reduction treatment, design of a more appropriate composition can become facilitated, compared with a conventional composition, in terms of diversified usages and desired properties of silicon compound coated metal microparticles.
