In addition, one or more of said metallic elements may be Mn, Ni or Co. Other metallic elements or other transition metal elements may be included.

The metal elements (51) being metal wires, bundles of metal wires, metal strands or metal cords.

The sacrificial electrodes may comprise alloy members of the metal elements to be provided to the water stream.

  In this connection, M represents two or more members selected from the group consisting of metal elements other than alkali metal elements.

The layer of hard material comprises the metallic elements Al, Cr and Si and also nonmetallic elements selected from the group consisting of B, C, N, O. The atomic proportion of oxygen among the nonmetallic elements is greater than 30%.

The high-conductivity metallic elements, such as metallic spheres, are located in the cylindrical holes.

The tooling surrounding the metal parts functions to limit the amount of compression of the parts.

The invention also relates to the use of the metal parts coated in this manner.

The interstitial elements comprise the alloy of the outer portion.

First the geometric parameters of the metal features are determined.

The metallic elements run essentially parallel to each other.

The apparent solution contains a uniform mixture of the metal elements.

The mixture of metallic precursors contains the metallic elements necessary to form a mono-layer of the multi-metallic film.

The ferrous layer comprises further metallic, metalloid and/or non-metallic elements and has an amorphous structure with finely-distributed, nano-crystalline metal borides and/or metal carbides.

Reflective metallic elements can be immersed into the melt.
