Patent number: 10835957Abstract: The metallurgical composition comprises a main particulate metallic material, for example iron or nickel, and at least one alloy element for hardening the main metallic material, which form a structural matrix; a particulate solid lubricant, such as graphite, hexagonal boron nitride or mixture thereof; and a particulate alloy element which is capable of forming, during the sintering of the composition conformed by compaction or by injection molding, a liquid phase, agglomerating the solid lubricant in discrete particles. The composition may comprise an alloy component to stabilize the alpha-iron matrix phase, during the sintering, in order to prevent the graphite solid lubricant from being solubilized in the iron. The invention further refers to the process for obtaining a self-lubricating sintered product.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2018Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: Embraco Industria De Compressores E Solucoes Em Refrigeracao Ltda.Inventors: Roberto Binder, Aloisio Nelmo Klein, Cristiano Binder, Gisele Hammes, Moises Luiz Parucker, Waldyr Ristow Junior

Publication number: 20200123645Abstract: The reactor (R) has a reaction chamber (RC) provided with a support (S) for metallic pieces and with a system of an anode, connected to a ground, and of a cathode system connected to the support (S) and to a pulsating DC power supply. In the reaction chamber (RC), heated and supplied with a gas load, is formed, by means of an electric discharge in the cathode, a gas plasma. A liquid or gas precursor is admitted in at least one tubular cracking chamber associated with a high voltage energy source. It may be provided at least one tubular sputtering chamber associated with an electric power supply receiving a solid precursor. A potential difference is applied between the anode and one and/or other of said tubular chambers, to release the alloy elements to be ionically bombarded against the metallic pieces, either simultaneously or individually and in any order.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2019Publication date: April 23, 2020Inventors: Cristiano BINDER, Euclides Alexandre BERNARDELLI, Gisele HAMMES, Aloisio Nelmo KLEIN, Thiago De Souza LAMIM, Roberto BINDER

Publication number: 20150090403Abstract: The plasma reactor defines a reaction chamber provided with a support for the metallic pieces and an anode-cathode system, and a heating means is mounted externally to said plasma reactor. The plasma process, for a cleaning operation, includes the steps of connecting the support to the grounded anode and the cathode to a negative potential of a power source; feeding an ionizable gaseous charge into the reaction chamber and heating the latter at vaporization temperatures of piece contaminants; applying an electrical discharge to the cathode; and providing the exhaustion of the gaseous charge and contaminants. A subsequent heat treatment includes the steps of: inverting the energization polarity of the anode-cathode system; feeding a new gaseous charge to the reaction chamber and maintaining it heated; applying an electrical discharge to the cathode; and exhausting the gaseous charge from the reaction chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2014Publication date: April 2, 2015Inventors: Roberto Binder, Aloisio Nelmo Klein, Cristiano Binder, Gisele Hammes
