- ______________________________________Tin 15.0-35.0%Zinc 65.0-85.0%Bismuth 0.0-1.7%Antimony 0.0-7.5%Iron 0.0-0.1%Lead 0.0-0.05%______________________________________
- 4. A coated metal material coated with a highly corrosive-resistant, two-phase tin-zinc metallic coating which upon weathering forms a low reflecting colored coating, said coating comprising at least 15 weight percent tin, at least 65 percent zinc and a metallic stabilizer, said metal material is a stainless steel strip.
- 5. A coated metal material as defined in claim 4, wherein said tin content being 15-35 weight percent of said coating.
- 6. A coated metal material coated with a highly corrosive-resistant, two-phase tin-zinc metallic coating which upon weathering forms a low reflecting colored coating, said coating comprising at least 15 weight percent tin, at least 65 percent zinc and a metallic stabilizer, wherein said metal material is copper.
- 7. A coated metal material as defined in claim 6, wherein said copper is a copper strip.
- 8. A coated metal material as defined in claim 6, wherein said tin content is 15 weight percent.
- 9. A coated metal material as defined in claim 6, wherein said tin content is 20 weight percent.
- 10. A coated metal material as defined in claim 6, wherein said tin content is 30 weight percent.
- 11. A coated metal material as defined in claim 6, wherein said tin content is 35 weight percent.
- 12. A coated metal material coated with a highly corrosive-resistant, two-phase tin-zinc metallic coating which upon weathering forms a low reflecting colored coating, said coating comprising at least 15 weight percent tin, at least 65 percent zinc and a metallic stabilizer, said metal material is an aluminum strip.
- 13. A coated metal material coated with a highly corrosive-resistant, two-phase tin-zinc metallic coating which upon weathering forms a low reflecting colored coating, said coating comprising at least 15 weight percent tin, at least 65 percent zinc and a metallic stabilizer, said metal material is a bronze strip.
- 14. A coated metal material coated with a corrosive-resistant, two-phase tin-zinc metallic coating which weathers to form a low reflecting gray colored coating, said coating consisting essentially of tin, zinc and a metallic stabilizer, said stabilizer content being 0.01 to 0.5 weight percent and is a metal selected from a group consisting of bismuth and antimony.
- 15. A stainless steel material coated with a strong bonding, corrosive-resistant, two-phase metallic coating which weathers to form a low reflecting gray colored coating, said coating consisting essentially of tin, zinc, a metallic stabilizer and a lead content of less than 0.05 weight percent.
- 16. A stainless steel strip with a hot-dipped alloy coating of less than 0.05 inch thickness to provide an additional corrosive-resistant surface on said stainless steel, which coating upon weathering forms a low reflecting colored surface, said alloy coating comprising a majority of zinc and at least 15 percent by weight tin.
- 17. A stainless steel strip as defined in claim 16, wherein said alloy also includes a metallic stabilizer.
- 18. A stainless steel strip as defined in claim 16, wherein said alloy also includes up to 2.0 percent by weight copper.
