Abstract: Corrosion protection of a steel or aluminum sheet and imparting predetermined tribological properties involves depositing a composite coating of thickness above 3 microns on the substrate. The coating comprises at least one single-phase zinc-nickel (Zn-Ni) matrix containing dispersed particles selected according to the desired tribological properties. The Ni content of the matrix is 12-20%. Preferred Features: In order to impart tribological properties of hardness and resistance to abrasion and wear to the substrate, the dispersed particles are ceramic particles of hardness higher than that of the matrix. The average size D50 of the ceramic particles is 0.01-5 microns.  The ceramic particles are selected from carbides, especially silicon carbide (SiC), and oxides, especially alumina (Al2O3) or zirconia (ZrO2). In order to impart tribological properties of lubrication to the substrate, the dispersed particles are organic polymer particles or mineral particles possessing lubricating properties. The average size D50 of the organic polymer particles is 0.01-5 microns, The organic polymer particles are polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) particles. The mineral particles are selected from sulfides, oxides, nitrides, in particular molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), and boron nitride (BN). In order to impart tribological properties of hardness, resistance to abrasion and wear, and lubrication to the substrate, the dispersed particles comprise ceramic particles of hardness higher than that of the matrix, and organic polymer particles or mineral particles possessing lubricating properties. The thickness of the Zn-Ni matrix is preferably 5-30 microns. The amount of the particles dispersed in the matrix is 1-20 volume %. Independent claims are given for a steel or aluminum alloy substrate having a coating obtained by the above process.

Title: Method for the post-treatment of deformed high-grade steel blanks
Inventor: NEEF MANFRED
IPC: B24B31/00
Filed: 2003-02-11
Abstract: A method for post-treatment of single high-grade steel blanks produced from deep-drawable circles or sections of high-grade steel by deep-drawing, pressing, rolling and deformation. According to this invention, the completed blanks are post-treated directly after being produced, in a drum which is hard-faced with hard granulate particles and which moves in a rotating manner. Thus, changes in the surface of the single high-grade steel blanks produced, caused by material stresses occurring during the production process, are avoided, provide the high-grade steel blanks with an optimum appearance.

Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide novel
genes participating in acetic acid tolerance of acetic acid
bacteria, and a method of improving acetic acid tolerance
of microorganisms, particularly that of acetic acid bacteria
by using the genes, further a method of efficiently producing
vinegar with acetic acid at higher concentration by using
acetic acid bacteria whose acetic acid tolerance is improved.
In the present invention, novel genes having a function for
improving acetic acid tolerance on practical level were
cloned from practical acetic acid bacteria belonging to the
genus Gluconacetobacter by a method of obtaining genes from
chromosomal DNA library that enable to grow on the medium
at a high concentration of acetic acid. Further, in
transformants in which the genes were introduced into acetic
acid bacteria, acetic acid tolerance was remarkably
increased, and when the transformants are subjected to
aeration culture in the presence of ethanol, the growth
lag-time can be shortened, and the growth rate can also be
improved, moreover the final acetic acid concentration can
be remarkably improved.
