A manufacturing method for steel sheets for containers produces steel sheets with excellent film adhesion qualities. This steel sheet for containers has, on a steel sheet, a chemical conversion coating with a metal Zr content of 1-100 mg/m.sup.2, a P content of 0.1-50 mg/m.sup.2, and an F content of no more than 0.1 mg/m.sup.2, upon which is formed a phenolic resin layer with a C content of 0.1-50 mg/m.sup.2. Moreover, the manufacturing method for steel sheets for containers is a method for obtaining the steel sheet for containers wherein the chemical conversion coating is formed on the steel sheet by subjecting the steel sheet to immersion in or electrolytic treatment with a treatment solution containing Zr ions, phosphoric acid ions, and F ions; and subsequently, the steel sheet upon which the chemical conversion coating has been formed is immersed in, or undergoes topical application of, an aqueous solution containing phenolic resin, then dried.

The present invention belongs to the technical field of shoe spikes, and more particularly relates to a carborundum wear-resistant shoe spike. The carborundum wear-resistant shoe spike comprises a shoe spike main body and a nickel coating attached to the surface of the shoe spike main body; the surface of the shoe spike main body is also provided with a carborundum layer, and the nickel coating is disposed between the shoe spike main body and the carborundum layer. Compared with the prior art, the present invention lies in that the outer surface of the nickel coating is provided with the carborundum layer, and since the carborundum layer has the characteristics of good toughness, high hardness, good wear resistance and the like, the wear resistance property of the shoe spike can be greatly improved, and the service life of sports shoes using the shoe spike is prolonged.

Provided is a super water-repellent layer structure. The super water-repellent layer structure comprises a substrate having a ratchet structure formed on the upper surface thereof and a super water-repellent nanowire structure formed on the ratchet structure, wherein water drops can move in one direction without an external force. A super water-repellent layer structure can be provided which enables water drops to move in one direction using the ratchet structure and the super water-repellent nanowire structure even without force applied from the outside in a state in which the surface thereof is hardly inclined. Thus, such a super water-repellent layer structure can be applied to various industries such as water harvesting, drainage of condensation water of a heat exchanger, etc., a microfluidic industry.

The present invention describes a hybrid multilayer solar selective coating having high thermal stability useful for high temperature solar thermal power generation. The hybrid multilayer solar selective coating of the present invention has been deposited using a novel combination of sputtering and sol-gel methods on metallic and non-metallic substrates, preferably on SS 304 and 321 with chrome interlayer. The hybrid multilayer solar selective coating of the present invention consists of stacks of Ti/chrome interlayer, aluminum titanium nitride (AlTiN), aluminum titanium oxynitride (AlTiON), aluminum titanium oxide (AlTiO) and organically modified silica (ormosil) layers. The chrome interlayer was deposited using an electroplating method, whereas, Ti, AlTiN, AlTiON and AlTiO layers were prepared using a four-cathode reactive unbalanced pulsed direct current magnetron sputtering technique. The ormosil layer was deposited using a sol-gel technique, which provides the enhanced absorptance and improved long term thermal stability in air and vacuum. The present invention provides a hybrid multilayer solar selective coating having absorptance >0.950, emittance <0.11 (SS substrate with chrome interlayer) and long term high thermal stability (in the order of 1000 hrs under cyclic heating conditions at 500° C. in air and 600° C. in vacuum). The hybrid multilayer solar selective coating of the present invention exhibits higher solar selectivity ratio in the order of 5-9 on metal and non-metal substrates. The hybrid multilayer solar selective absorber coating of the present invention has high oxidation resistance, stable microstructure, high adherence and graded composition particularly suitable for applications in concentrating collectors like evacuated receiver tubes and Fresnel receiver tubes useful for solar steam generation.
