Abstract: A casting device and casting method are provided for producing components, in particular cylinder heads. The device includes a reusable steel upper core, which can be lifted off from the component to be produced and which has a movable displacing element. The displacement element can be pressed into the component to be produced for dense feeding. In a method for producing a cylinder head by casting, wherein the steel upper core is used as a substitution for a sand cover core, for dense feeding the displacing element is pressed into the melt that forms the cylinder head in the solidified state.

Abstract: A device for die casting a metal component included a die casting mold which has a cavity that forms the component. The cavity is connected to a source for a metal melt by at least one temperature controlled supply channel. The metal melt is introduced into the cavity via at least one casting valve. The supply channel forms an annular channel, in which metal melt can be circulated via a conveying apparatus.

Abstract: An alloy, in particular for an anti-friction coating, includes elements which form a matrix and at least a soft phase and/or a hard phase, which soft phase elements and/or hard phase elements form a solid solution or a bond with the matrix element. The soft phase and/or hard phase is dispersed in the matrix and the solid solution or bond is formed only in the region of the phase boundary of the matrix with the soft phase and/or with the hard phase.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bearing element (1) with a metallic support body (2), a bearing metal layer (3) arranged over the top and a polymer layer (4) arranged on the top of the latter, whereby the polymer layer (4) consists of a polyimide resin, molybdenum sulphide (MoS2) and graphite.

Abstract: A friction bearing is described, comprising a support shell and a slide layer made of a bearing metal which is applied to the support shell. In order to obtain information about the service life of the friction bearing it is proposed that the slide layer carries a cover layer forming a running layer whose thickness corresponds at most to the wear and tear of the cover layer expected during the average service life of the slide layer.

Abstract: A slide bearing is described with a bearing metal layer on copper basis as applied to a carrier and a running layer made of an alloy of aluminum and tin which is applied physically onto the bearing metal layer in vacuum. In order to combine favorable resistance against wearing with a low inclination towards jamming with advantageous tribological properties it is proposed that the bearing metal layer consists of an alloy with 4 to 8% by weight of tin, 0.6 to 1% by weight of silver, 1 to 2% by weight of an iron phosphide and 0 to 0.15% by weight of carbon, preferably in the form of graphite, and the remainder of copper.

Abstract: A filter arrangement has a filter vessel with an interior divided by a partition into a filtrate chamber and an unfiltered material chamber. The partition has through openings allowing passage of filtered liquid from the unfiltered material chamber into the filtrate chamber. Filter candles are connected to the through openings of the partition. Each filter candle has a filter pipe and a candle chamber surrounded by the filter pipe. A displacement member is arranged in the candle chamber and fills the space of the candle chamber partially. The displacement member has an exterior surface and the filter pipe has an inner surface, wherein between the exterior surface and the inner surface at least one flow channel is defined.
