An article comprises a body having a coating. The coating comprising a mixture of a first oxide and a second oxide. The coating includes a glaze on a surface of the coating, the glaze comprising a eutectic system having a super-lattice of a first fluoride and a second fluoride.

A glass article that comprises a composite coating is provided. The coating is provided on a surface of a glass substrate and comprises a paint layer that overlies the surface of the glass substrate and a hydrophobic layer that overlies the paint layer. The coating may exhibit a E value of about 2 or less after being exposed to a copper-accelerated acetic acid-salt spray (CASS) in accordance with ASTM B368-09 (2014).

A shielding mesh to counter scattered ionizing radiation is provided. The shielding mesh includes a plate, arrangement of depressions, a mesh of trenches, and an x-ray-absorbing material. The plate has a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The arrangement of depressions are in the plate and are open toward the second side. The mesh of trenches are in the plate and are open toward the first side. The x-ray-absorbing material is in the mesh of trenches. The mesh of trenches and arrangement of depressions are configured so that a wall of the plate remains between the arrangement of depressions and the mesh of trenches.

A glass material less likely to cause inconveniences, such as crystallization and the generation of devitrified matters, while holding desired optical properties, has a refractive index of 1.8 or more and a content of Al.sub.2O.sub.3 of over 0 to 500 mass ppm.

A metallizing system for metallizing worn workpieces to produce metallized workpieces is disclosed. The metallizing system includes a metallizing workstation, which includes a worktable configured to receive and rotate a worn workpiece, at which the worn workpiece is metallized into a metallized workpiece by being rotated through a thermal metallic spray of a flame spray torch. The metallizing system also includes a metallizer station, which includes a metallizer handler that carries a metallizing applicator. The metallizing applicator is movable towards and away from the worktable and the retained workpiece and includes the flame spray torch. The metallizing system automates the metallizing operation in that neither the worn workpiece nor the flame spray torch needs to be hand manipulated during metallizing of the worn workpiece. A method of metallizing a worn workpiece to produce a metallized workpiece is also described.

A metallizing system is disclosed that includes a metallizing worktable configured to receive and rotate a worn workpiece, and a metallizing applicator movable towards and away from the metallizing worktable and including a flame spray torch configured to deposit a metallized layer of metal onto the worn workpiece as it rotates relative to the flame spray torch. A robot is configured to acquire and release the worn workpiece and to acquire and release the metallizing applicator, and to move the worn workpiece and the metallizing applicator. A related method of metallizing the worn workpiece to produce the metallized workpiece is also disclosed.

A system and method for forming a membrane on an immersion tube for an electrochemical sensor comprise a step of providing a first immersion tube having a first opening and a second opening, and an apparatus having a melting system, a positioning system, an imaging apparatus, a pressure supplier, a control system. The melting system includes a heating means and a crucible containing a melt. The positioning system is suitable to move the first immersion tube relative to the crucible, such that the first opening of the first immersion tube is immersed in the melt. The imaging apparatus includes a camera, which is temperature sensitive and is arranged such that it can see the melt. The pressure supplier is connected air tightly with the first opening of the first immersion tube. The control system is connected with the melting system, the positioning system, the imaging apparatus and the pressure supplier.
