Abstract
Antioxidant coating compositions containing 10-75 wt % H O, 20-65 wt % H PO , 0.1-20 wt % alkali metal mono-, di-, or tri-basic phosphate, 0-2 wt % hydrated boron oxide, 0-18 wt % KH PO , 3-10 wt % of a transition metal oxide, and 0-20 wt % hydrated manganese phosphate, 0-25 wt % Al(H PO ) , and 0-10 wt % Zn (PO ) , provided that at least one of Al(H PO ) , Zn (PO ) , and hydrated manganese phosphate is present. Also, brake discs made from carbon composite articles having their surface treated with certain antioxidant coatings. During a manufacturing process, carbon matrix of brake disc is covered on its outer and inner edges with antioxidant layers and portions of the working surface of brake disc may also be covered with antioxidant layers potentially decreasing the fitness of the brake disc for service. In accordance with this invention, brake disc is manufactured from brake disc by the removal from its working surface of antioxidant layers
