Security devices

PendingEP4624710A2Bicycle locksPadlocks
A security device has a metallic elongate body with at least one end attachable to a lock unit. The body has at least one track of material of the kind referred to above extending longitudinally on the surface thereof and metallurgically bonded therewith. The material of the track has particles of a hard cut-resistant material dispersed in a self-fluxing matrix of lower melting point than that of the body and comprising one of nickel, iron and cobalt in composition with chromium, silicon and boron. The tracks are normally applied to the elongate body by welding, preferably laser welding or laser cladding, but plasma arc welding or brazing might also be used. The lower melting point prevents melting of the elongate body while enabling the metallurgical bond. Tungsten carbide is the preferred hard cut-resistant material, but other materials might be used, such as silicon carbide, cubic boron nitride, or industrial or synthetic diamond.
