A NEW AND IMPROVED PROCESS OF PLATING METALS, AND MORE PARTICULARLY IRON, STEEL, COPPER, AND THE ALLOYS OF THE LATTER WITH NICKEL OR COBALT
Year: 1878

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Friedrich Carl Glaser, of 92, Lindenstrasse, Berlin, in the
Kingdom of Prussia, and Empire of Germany, Engineer and Patent Agent, for
the Invention of "A NEW AND IMPROVED PROCESS OF PLATING METALS, AND
MORE PARTICULARLY IRON, STEEL, COPPER, AND THE ALLOYS OF THE LATTER
WITH NICKEL OR COBALT." A communication from Theodor Fleitmann,
of Iserlohn. Prussia. German Empire.
Sealed the 6th June 1879, and dated the 14th December 1878.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Friedrich Carl Glaser at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 14th December 1878.
FRIEDRICH CARL GLASER, of 92, Lindenstrasse, Berlin, in the Kingdom of Prussia,
and Empire of Germany, Engineer and Patent Agent. "A NEW AND IMPROVED
PROCESS OF PLATING METALS, AND MORE PARTICULARLY IRON, STEEL, COPPER, AND
THE ALLOYS OF THE LATTER WITH NICKEL OR COBALT." A communication from
Theodor Fleitmann, of Iserlohn, Prussia, German Empire.
The object of this Invention is the application of nickel or cobalt, whether manu-
factured by the process patented by me under the No. 5126, and date of 14th
December, A.D. 1878, for the production of nickel or cobalt of great ductility, or
otherwise manufactured, to the plating of other metals, such as iron, steel, copper,
and the alloys of this latter, so that these platings, together with the core or interior
metal, may be rolled into plates and wire, hammered, and further worked.
The contact surfaces of the interior metal or core, and of the nickel to be laid
thereon, are by means of filing, rubbing, and cleaning, so worked that an inner
contact at all points is thereby effected. Both pieces are then heated to the neces-
sary welding heat, and united together by hammering, the contact surfaces having
been previously strewn or sprinkled with a welding substance, such as borax.
Objects plated in this manner will bear any further mechanical treatment, such
as rolling, hammering, drawing, etc.

the said Friederich Carl Glaser in the Great Seal Patent Office on the 11th
June 1879.
FRIEDRICH CARL GLASER, of 92, Lindenstrasse, Berlin, in the Kingdom of Prussia,
and Empire of Germany, Engineer and Patent Agent. "A NEW AND IMPROVED
PROCESS OF PLATING METALS, AND MORE PARTICULARLY IRON, STEEL, COPPER, AND
THE ALLOYS OF THE LATTER WITH NICKEL OR COBALT." A communication from
Theodor Fleitmann, of Iserlohn, Prussia, German Empire.
The object of this Invention is the application of nickel or cobalt, whether
manufactured by the process patented by me under the No. 5126, A.D. 1878,- for
the production of nickel or cobalt of great ductility, or otherwise manufactured, to
the plating of other metals, such as iron, steel, copper, and the alloys of this latter,
so that these platings together with their core or interior metal may be rolled into
plates and wire, hammered, and further worked.
The contact surfaces of the interior metal or core and of the nickel to be laid
thereon are,
by means of filing, rubbing, and cleaning, so worked that an inner
contact at all points is thereby effected. Both pieces are then heated to the neces-
sary welding heat and united together by hammering, the contact surfaces having
been previously strewn or sprinkled with a welding substance, such as borax.
Objects plated in this manner will bear any further mechanical treatment, such
as rolling, hammering, drawing, or other.
Having now described and ascertained the nature of the said Invention com-
mmunicated to me as aforesaid, and in what manner the same is or may be performed,
what
I claim as secured to me by the hereinbefore in part recited Letters Patent is,-
The hereinbefore described process of plating with nickel or cobalt metals,
especially iron, steel, copper, and their alloys, by welding, hammering, rolling, or
otherwise.
In witness whereof, I, the said Friedrich Carl Glaser, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, this Fourth day of June, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and seventy nine.
