A method of removing metal from a feedstock solution containing dissolved metal ions, which comprises passing the feedstock through an annular gap formed by an inner cathode tube and an outer anode tube at a turbulent flow rate, the inner surface of the gap being cathodic to the metal ions in the solution and formed of a metal that is smooth and is not attacked by the solution, the outer surface of the gap being smooth and anodic to the metal ions in the solution, inducting the solution flow into the annular gap by means of a pump coupled directly to the gap, the end of the inner cathode tube being closed by a nonconductive domed plug, which faces the incoming flow of solution and distributes it evenly to the annular gap and depositing

A chromium-free method of anodizing an unroughened aluminum alloy workpiece to produce an oxide surface receptive to the formation of strong and durable bonds with epoxy adhesives and coatings resistant to corrosion comprising providing a first aqueous anodizing solution consisting essentially by weight of lO--20% phosphoric acid; maintaining at a temperature from 75-90°F; immersing the workpiece in the first anodizing solution; applying a direct electric current at 5-15 V such that the current density is substantially uniform and does not exceed 10 amperes per square foot, to produce a thin, porous, highly adherent oxide at least 5,000 angstroms thick, providing a second aqueous anodizing solution consisting essentially by weight of 3-5% sulfuric acid and 0.5-1.5% boric acid; maintaining at a temperature from about 75-85°F; applying a direct electric

current at 15 V such that the current density is substantially uniform and does not exceed 10 amperes per square foot, to produce a further growth of a less porous oxide with the final oxide coating having a weight of 250-650 milligrams per square foot and a thickness of 15,OOtS31,000 angstroms, which final oxide coating does not substantially reduce the fatigue resistance of the workpiece.

A process for producing a multilayer lacquer coating on a surface provided with a dry basecoat, the process comprising eliminating substantially al1 light having a wavelength below 550 nm; selecting a polymermizing coating agent from a group consisting of radical-curable lacquer and cationic-curable lacquer; applying a layer of the coating agent on the basecoat; and exposing to high-energy radiation to polymerize the coating agent and cure the coating agent layer on the basecoat.
