Abstract
Abstract Continuously hot dip aluminum coated ferritic chromium alloy steel strip. After the steel has been given a pretreatment to remove surface contaminants, the steel is protected in a hydrogen atmosphere until it is passed into the molten aluminum coating metal. The coating metal readily wets the steel surface to prevent uncoated areas or pin holes in the coating layer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
70 words
A ferrous base ferritic strip continuously hot dip coated with a coating metal; comprising: the strip including at least about 6% by weight chromium, the coating metal consisting essentially of aluminum, the coating layer on said strip being substantially free of uncoated areas and formed without a thick brittle Fe-Al alloy inner layer, said coating layer being tightly adherent to said strip and resistant to crazing or flaking during bending.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
70 words
A ferrous base ferritic strip continuously hot dip coated with a coating metal; comprising: the strip including at least about 6% by weight chromium, the coating metal consisting essentially of aluminum, the coating layer on said strip being substantially free of uncoated areas and formed without a thick brittle Fe-Al alloy inner layer, said coating layer being tightly adherent to said strip and resistant to crazing or flaking during bending.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The strip as set forth in claim 1 wherein the base metal includes at least about 10% by weight chromium.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
The strip as set forth in claim 2 wherein said base metal includes substantially 0% by weight nickel.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The strip as set forth in claim 2 wherein said base metal includes 10.0%-14.5% by weight chromium, 0.1%-1.0% by weight silicon and 0.2%-0.5% by weight titanium.
