A method for applying a metallic protective coating to a surface of a steel product, where another surface is to remain free from the metallic protective coating, may involve applying the metallic protective coating by hot dip coating in a hot dip coating bath. A preliminary coating may be applied to the surface that is to remain free from the metallic protective coating prior to the hot dip coating. The preliminary coating may include SiO.sub.2 and may prevent the metallic protective coating from adhering to the intended surface during hot dip coating. Thus one surface of a steel product may be provided with a metallic protective coating, and another surface of the steel product may be kept free from the protective coating, all with a minimum of cost and complexity and with optimized resource economics. Further, the preliminary coating, deposited from a gas phase to that surface of the steel product that is to be kept free from the metallic protective coating, may be a layer that includes amorphous silicon dioxide and has a layer thickness of 0.5-500 nm.”

The present invention relates to a method for coating a component of a turbomachine in a bath, in which method, the component is partially immersed in the bath containing a coating material; the component is rotated at least intermittently around an axis of rotation, which lies outside of the bath, during the at least partial immersion; the component is at most immersed partially over and beyond the rotation.

When a portion for measuring the plating adhesion amount reaches an upstream side position, plating adhesion amount estimation values are calculated by using a plating adhesion amount estimation expression at positions away from a position that faces the distance sensors, that is, the upstream side position, by strip-width direction distances, of the surfaces of the steel strip. When the portion for measuring the plating adhesion amount reaches a downstream side position, the strip-width direction distances of the plating adhesion amount meters are matched to the strip-width direction distances, and the plating adhesion amount actual measurement values are obtained. The plating adhesion amount estimation expression is corrected on the basis of the differences between the plating adhesion amount estimation values and the plating adhesion amount actual measurement values. Accordingly, the control accuracy of the plating adhesion amount is improved.

A method for selectively plating a leadframe (1100) by oxidizing selected areas (401, 402, 403, 404) of the leadframe made of a first metal (102) and then depositing a layer (901) of a second metal onto un-oxidized areas. The selective oxidations are achieved by selective active marking

A method for manufacturing an anode electrode includes supplying an anode current collector; coating a first portion of the anode current collector with a precursor coating; not coating a second portion of the anode current collector with the precursor coating; treating the anode current collector with plasma to at least one of decrease lithium wettability of the first portion and to increase lithium wettability of the second portion; and coating the anode current collector with lithium metal to form an anode active material layer.

A pattern portion and a non-pattern portion are formed in the hot-dip plated layer. An element concentrated region containing an element M and an interface alloy layer containing Fe and Al are present at an interface between the steel sheet and the hot-dip plated layer in the pattern portion. An average concentration of the element M contained in the hot-dip plated layer present in the pattern portion and the element concentrated region is 0.0010 to 2 mass %. In the element concentrated region, the element M is concentrated two or more times the hot-dip plated layer present in the pattern portion, or the element M is unevenly distributed.

A hot-dip plated steel sheet includes a hot-dip plated layer formed on a steel sheet. An absolute value of a difference in an area fraction of a first region between a pattern portion and a non-pattern portion is 30% or more. A cross section parallel to a surface is exposed at any position of 3t/4 position, t/2 position, or t/4 position from the surface of the hot-dip plated layer, virtual lattice lines are drawn on each of the cross sections, a region in which a proportion of an area fraction B of a [Zn phase] to a total area fraction A of the [Zn phase] and an [Al/MgZn.sub.2/Zn ternary eutectic structure] is 20% or more in each of a plurality of regions partitioned by the lattice lines is defined as the first region, and a region in which the proportion is less than 20% is defined as the second region.

The layered body includes a seed layer that serves as a base for plating and that can be formed using a simple and low-cost method capable of ensuring stable quality and preventing the occurrence of scratches on the plating seed layer due to contact with a coating apparatus during application and contact with conveyor rollers. The layered body can provide good adhesion between a support and a metal layer (metal plating layer) without roughening the surface of the support. The transfer layered bodies is produced by forming a plating seed layer containing a dispersant and an electrically conductive material on a temporary support, forming a resin layer on the plating seed layer, and then allowing functional groups in the plating seed layer and functional groups in the resin layer to react with each other.
