Benefits of technology

This patented technical effect described in this patents relates to improving the quality (efficacy), durability, reliance upon an acidic plated metal layer or film technique called Zn—Ni alloy electricity gel elecrolithography. By controlling certain parameters such as pH value, type of salt added during immersion, and amount of other ingredients, these techniques enhance the efficiencies and reduce costs associated therewith compared to conventional methods like neutral elec trophoresis. Additionally, they provide improved protection against environmental factors including water vapor, oxygen, hydrogen sulfides, nitric acids, carbon dioxies, silica particles, iron powders, calcium salts, magnesia, manganese cations, phosphorus pentoxysulfonamide compounds, and various solvents containing them. Overall, these improvements lead to better results over existing technologies while reducing manufacturing complexity and increasing operational convenience.

Problems solved by technology

This patented describes how different methods for depositing metals onto surfaces have been developed over recent years due to their superior properties compared to other materials like chrome or brass. However, there may still exist issues related to these coatings, particularly if they were applied before casting (cast), especially after being subjected to high temperature environments where oxygen attacks). These challenges include poor adhesion caused by low levels of iron component(s) near the interface between the base material and the copper layers, reduced protectiveness against corrosives from environmental factors, increased resistance towards rust under certain conditions, and difficulty in obtaining good bond strength without causing damage through hydraulic pressure.
