Abstract: A profile assembly produced from a first profile and a second profile connected longitudinally by cold joining. Both profiles bear complementary clamping structures on long sides thereof facing toward one another for cold joining together. The clamping structure of the first profile comprises a clamping head formed on a web and forming an undercut on each side of the web by way of a greater extension in the profile transverse direction in relation to that of the web. The clamping structure of the second profile comprises a clamping head receptacle for accommodating a section of the clamping head and a clinching leg, formed on a profile-exterior leg of the clamping head receptacle, having a first profile arm protruding before cold joining and a second profile arm formed at an angle thereon, the free end of which engages behind the clamping head and, before cold joining, faces toward a clamping pocket of the first profile.

Abstract: A special brass alloy containing 62.5 to 65% by weight Cu, 2.0 to 2.4% by weight Mn, 0.7 to 0.9% by weight Ni, 1.9 to 2.3% by weight Al, 0.35 to 0.65% by weight Si, 0.3 to 0.6% by weight Fe, 0.18 to 0.4% by weight Sn and Cr, either alone or in combination, ?0.1% by weight Pb, the remainder consisting of Zn and inevitable impurities.

Abstract: A copper alloy having a high corrosion resistance for a wide range of different lubricants, in particular different base oils and a variation of lubricant additives. The property of a low corrosion tendency for different tribological systems is also combined with good mechanical properties, and a high strength in particular. The alloy has a low wear and coefficient of friction. The lubricant-compatible copper alloy is suitable for producing components that come in contact with lubricant and are exposed to friction stresses, such as gear components, for example synchronizer rings. A method for manufacturing such components and a gear having at least one such component is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a lead-free high tensile brass alloy containing 50-65 wt. % Cu; 0.4-3 wt. % Mn; 0.55-3 wt. % Sn; max 1 wt. % Fe; max 1 wt.-% Ni; max. 1 wt.-% Al; max 1.5 wt.-% Si; the remainder being Zn and inevitable impurities, and the sum of elements Mn and Sn being at least 1.3 wt.-% and not more than 6.0 wt.-%.

Abstract: A profile assembly having a first profile and having a second profile connected on its long side to the first profile, which two profiles each have a hook strip integrally formed on the long side, wherein the hook projection of the hook strip of the first profile points in the one direction, and the hook projection of the hook strip of the second profile points in the opposite direction, the hook strips brought into engagement with one another in a claw-like manner. The first profile has an anchoring channel following its longitudinal extent, and the hook strip of the second profile has a clamping strip which is integrally formed thereon, which hook strip is secured by its hook projection and its clamping strip in the anchoring channel of the other profile by a cold joining connection.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a high-tensile brass alloy containing 55-65 wt-% copper; 1-2.5 wt-% manganese; 0.7-2 wt % tin; 0.2-1.5 wt % iron; 2-4 wt % nitrogen; 2-5 wt % aluminum; 0.2-2 wt % silicon; 2.0 wt % cobalt maximum; and the remainder zinc together with unavoidable impurities, wherein the sum of the elements manganese and tin is at least 1.7 wt % and at most 4.5 wt.

Abstract: A method for producing a contoured ring rolling product for a rotating application from a ring blank, with a ring rolling machine controlled in a process-monitored manner. At least one process window, extending over the rolling time, is defined in relation to preselected process parameters for the specific product on the basis of calibrating specimens brought into their final form by the ring rolling machine. The process window(s) monitored during the process is/are determined by the process parameters of calibrating specimens which produced rolled products meeting the requirements demanded of the ring rolling product. The preselected process parameters comprise at least two of ring growing rate, axial rolling force, radial rolling force, rolling time, and ring blank temperature.

Abstract: The invention relates to a high-tensile brass alloy comprising 58-66 wt % Cu; 1.6-7 wt % Mn; 0.2-6 wt % Ni; 0.2-5.1 wt % Al; 0.1-3 wt % Si; ?1.5 wt % Fe; ?0.5 wt % Sn; ?0.5 wt % Pb; and the remainder Zn together with unavoidable impurities. Also described are a high-tensile brass product with such an alloy composition, and a method for manufacturing such a product made of a high-tensile brass alloy.

Abstract: An aluminum bronze alloy containing 7.0-10.0% by weight Al; 3.0-6.0% by weight Fe; 3.0-5.0% by weight Zn; 3.0-5.0% by weight Ni; 0.5-1.5% by weight Sn; ?0.2% by weight Si; ?0.1% by weight Pb; and the remainder Cu in addition to unavoidable impurities. Also described is an aluminum bronze product having such an alloy composition, and a method for producing such a product from an aluminum bronze alloy.
