IMPROVEMENTIN coArme METALS WITH METAL.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No.

.To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that IsA'Ao Anaius, Jr., of Boston, county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, has invented Ooatin g Metals with Metal and we, the AMER- IGAN N ICKEL-PLATING COMPANY, of the city, county, and State of New York, (the assignees of said ISAAC ADLMs, Jr.,) by our president,

duly authorized, do hereby declare the following ther'eo This invention articles which are fbe a full, clear, andexact description relates to surfacing metal to be subjected to flame or moisture, andwhich by the action of flame or,

moisture become corroded, with a coating or deposit of anticorrosive metal, which will practically prevent the oxidizing action of heat and the corrosion from moisture. l The primary object of ant invention was the protection of gas tips or burners from oxidation, but it is equally applicable to all articles of metal,'without regard to size or purpose, when it is desirable to protect them from oxidation orcorrosion.

It is well known that the action of I the flame upon common gas-burners soon impairs their orifices by oxidation and the deposit of oxide upon the surfaces against which the flame acts, and it has been practically demonstrated by the patentee of this invention that by coating such surfaces with a thin deposit of nickel the heat and flame have no detrimental eflect upon the tips, the orifices being kept entirely free from deposit of oxide,- the result being that the flame burns with undiminished luster.

[ Other metallic articles subjected to heat suits.

The corrosion of. the cles is also efi'ectedby moisture, as has been stated,bnt the coating of nickel is 'a practical protection against corrosion, whether induced by heat or by moisture, or by both.-

of nickel by electroplating or. otherwise, and the protection which the coating imparts, it will be obvious that this invention is of great practical utility. This invention consists, therefore, in coating or surfacing gas-tips and other articles and implements with a deposit of nickel, to render them anti-corrosive by heat or moisture, or in such articles so coated.

What we claim, therefore, as the invention of the said Issac ADAMS, Jr., and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-.

Rendering gas metal anti-corrosive to heat or moisture by surfacing them with nickel, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof the AMERICAN NICK- EL-PL'LTING COMPANY have aflixed their signature, by their president, in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
