Title: Improved process for coating titanium or titanium alloy with aluminium or an alloy thereof
Inventor: HOLMES ERIC
IPC: C23C2/12
Filed: 1955-02-21
Abstract: A titanium or titanium alloy article is coated with aluminium or an alloy thereof by being (a) provided with a film of an inert vaporizable high boiling liquid carbon compound, e.g. a high boiling aliphatic hydroxy compound such as a dihydric or polyhydric alcohol, (b) immersed in molten aluminium or an alloy thereof for a time sufficient to heat the article to the temperature of the molten metal and (c) withdrawn from the molten metal.  Preferably, the titanium surface is freed from oxide, as by grinding, degreased, coated with glycerin, given a final cleaning using an abrasive, given another coating of glycerin, and then rapidly immersed in a bath of molten aluminium or alloy thereof at a temperature of 750 DEG C.-850 DEG C. Ethylene glycol is specified as an alternative to glycerin.  A thicker coating of aluminium or its alloy may be obtained by transferring the dipped titanium from the molten bath into a mould which is filled with molten aluminium or alloy before the dipped layer solidifies.

Title: Novel colour couplers and their use in colour photography
IPC: G03C7/38
Filed: 1961-02-10
Abstract: The invention comprises pyrazolo-[11,51:3,2]-quinazolones of the tautomeric formula <FORM:0975248/C1/1> wherein R1 is an alkyl, aryl or aralkyl group, any of which may be substituted, or a hydroxy, alkoxy or carboxylic acid or ester group, and R2 and R3 are hydrogen or halogen atoms or alkyl, substituted alkyl, aralkyl, aryl, phenoxy, hydroxy, alkoxy, amino, substituted amino, sulphonamido, carboxy or sulpho groups (or water-soluble salts of the last two), or together form a fused-on benzene ring. These compounds are prepared by condensing an o-amino-aroyl hydrazide such as anthranilic acid hydrazide with b -keto-carboxylic acid esters such as aceto-acetic acid ethyl ester, phenyl ester, cyclohexyl ester or benzyl ester, stearoylacetic acid ethyl or benzyl ester, oxalacetic acid diethyl ester, benzoyl-acetic acid ethyl ester or acetone dicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester. Examples are given of the preparation of compounds wherein R1 is a methyl, stearyl, benzyl, phenyl, ethoxy, carbethoxymethyl, carboxy, carbethoxy, hydroxy or stearoylaminophenyl group, R2 is hydrogen, methyl, sulpho (when R3 may be chloro or stearoylamino), methoxy, hydroxy, phenyl, benzyl, carboxy or octadecenyl-succinoylamino, and R3 is hydrogen, or R2 and R3 together form a fused-on benzene ring. Compounds wherein R2 is sulpho are prepared by sulphonating the pyrazolo-[11,51,3,2]-quinazolone which may contain a nitro substituent as in Example 6 with fuming sulphuric acid, and in Example 3 the sulpho derivative is subsequently nitrated with nitric acid and sulphuric acid to form a product containing nitro and sulpho substituents. Such nitro compounds, and those wherein R1 is a nitrophenyl group are reduced to the corresponding amines. Such amines, and those formed directly from a diaminobenzoic acid hydrazide by reaction with a b -keto ester as above may be acylated. e.g. with stearyl chloride. In Example 9, 31-hydroxy -7- aminopyrazolo-[11,51-,3,2]-quinazolone is prepared by heating 2,4-diaminobenzoic acid hydrazide with the iminoether hydrochloride prepared from cyanacetic ethyl ester, alcohol and hydrogen chloride. The 7-amino group is subsequently reacted with octadecenyl-succinic anhydride. In Example 11, 31-hydroxy-pyrazolo-[11,51;3,2]-quinazolone is similarly prepared. Specifications 951,113 and 951,114 are referred to.
