Abstract
Abstract A steel part, and more particularly a stainless steel part, is coated with a varnish containing particles of an additional metal such as tin or aluminium, and it is heated at a temperature situated above the melting point of the said additional metal, but outside a zone comprised between 700° C and 970° C. The treated part may be annealed at about 500° C. The varnish may besides contain particles of a substance having a melting point situated above the melting point of the additional metal, but which may dissolve in the liquid phase of the latter. This substance may be chromium, molybdenum, cobalt, titanium, vanadium, nickel or copper.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
128 words
A method for the treatment of steel surfaces to form thereon an intermediate layer of ferrites and an outer layer on tin-iron compound of the type FeSn to improve their resistance to corrosion and their frictional properties which consists essentially: in coating the parts with an organic varnish containing finely divided tin particles: and in heating the coated parts to a temperature at least equal to 650° C but situated outside the range 700° C-970° C to eliminate the varnish, and maintaining said temperature for a time sufficient to cause the particles to react with the underlying steel and to form thereon said intermediate layer of ferrites and said outer layer of tin-iron compounds, the said outer layer being substantially continuous and firmly bound to the intermediate layer.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
128 words
A method for the treatment of steel surfaces to form thereon an intermediate layer of ferrites and an outer layer on tin-iron compound of the type FeSn to improve their resistance to corrosion and their frictional properties which consists essentially: in coating the parts with an organic varnish containing finely divided tin particles: and in heating the coated parts to a temperature at least equal to 650° C but situated outside the range 700° C-970° C to eliminate the varnish, and maintaining said temperature for a time sufficient to cause the particles to react with the underlying steel and to form thereon said intermediate layer of ferrites and said outer layer of tin-iron compounds, the said outer layer being substantially continuous and firmly bound to the intermediate layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
In a method as claimed in claim 1, the further step of annealing the treated steel surfaces at about 500° C to improve the thickness and the compactness of the layers.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
In a method as claimed in claim 1, said varnish including particles of a substance less fusible than tin, but capable of being dissolved in the liquid phase of the tin.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
13 words
In a method as claimed in claim 3, said substance being a metal.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
In a method as claimed in claim 1, said steel surfaces comprising stainless steel containing substantially 18% Cr and 10% Ni.
