Patent number: 6905773Abstract: A clear protective coating including a composition having a formula SiOxCyHz, wherein x=0.8-1.5, y=1.0-2.0, and z=1.6-3.7 is provided. The coating may be formed by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The coating typically coats a substrate, and more particularly, a metal substrate. In a preferred embodiment, the coating coats an architectural hardware article, thereby providing corrosion and abrasion protection for the architectural hardware article.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2002Date of Patent: June 14, 2005Assignee: Schlage Lock CompanyInventors: Gerald F. Hein, Brad Knapp, Greg Agnew

Patent number: 6881498Abstract: A surface processing method and power transmission component includes refining a surface region of a metal from a first roughness to a second roughness less than the first roughness. A solid lubricous coating or a hard coating is then deposited on the surface region. The metal has a surface hardness above 50 Rc to reduce the risk that the metal will deform under the coating and leave the coating unsupported. The surface region of the metal may be transformed into a nitrogen-containing compound or solid solution surface region before the surface refining step and deposition of the coating.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2004Date of Patent: April 19, 2005Assignee: Sikorsky Aircraft CorporationInventors: Clark VanTine Cooper, Harsh Vinayak

Patent number: 6863994Abstract: A sliding bearing includes a bearing alloy layer having a sliding surface and a resin surface layer formed on the sliding surface of the bearing alloy layer and containing polybenzimidazole and a solid lubricant. In manufacturing the sliding bearing, a resin surface layer composition is applied to a roughened surface of a bearing alloy layer. The resin surface layer composition contains polybenzimidazole and a solid lubricant. The resin surface layer composition is heated so as to be hardened to be formed into a resin surface layer.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2002Date of Patent: March 8, 2005Assignee: Daido Metal Company Ltd.Inventors: Takuya Tanaka, Nobutaka Hiramatsu, Takayuki Shibayama

Publication number: 20040253465Abstract: A corrosion prevention method includes coating a lamination of layered steel parts. The lamination is vacuum-impregnated with an acrylic resin having a high permeability. The acrylic resin fills the gaps between the steel layers of the lamination and is cured. Then, an insulation coating is applied using anion electrodeposition. The gaps and edges of the steel parts are protected by the highly corrosion-resistant resin. Consequently, the lamination is highly corrosion-resistant.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2004Publication date: December 16, 2004Inventors: Shinichi Namiki, Kazunori Sakamoto
