Abstract: The invention relates to a rope made of a textile fibre material for applications in which a diagonal pull may occur, characterized in that the rope is a core/sheath rope the core (1) of which and the sheath of which are composed essentially of a textile fibre material the core (1) of which is stranded and which exhibits a force-fitting winding with a tensile element (2, 2?, 2?) between the core (1) and the sheath.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a high-strength fibre rope for hoisting equipment like cranes having a rope core (11) comprising high-strength synthetic fibres or strands (4) as well as a sheathing (2) surrounding the rope core (11) and indicating wear, wherein the sheathing (2) has at least a sheath layer, in which the synthetic fibres having different wear resistance and/or tensile strength and/or bending fatigue are interwoven with each other.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the replacement state of wear of a rope made of a textile fibre material, wherein, in the course of using the rope, the elongation of the rope is monitored over its entire length and the rope is discarded if the elongation of the rope over the entire length exceeds a predetermined maximum value (%). The method according to the invention is characterized in that also the local elongation of a discrete rope section is monitored and the rope is discarded if the local elongation of the rope section exceeds a predetermined maximum value (%), with the maximum value of the local elongation of the rope section being greater than the maximum value of the elongation of the rope over the entire length.

Abstract: A high-strength fibre rope (1) comprising a rope core as well as a sheathing indicating optical wear, wherein the sheathing comprises a sheath layer (2) made up of textile subunits (3, 4) of a first hierarchy level. An outermost sheath layer (2) is provided, wherein textile subunits (3, 4) of said outermost sheath layer of the first hierarchy level differ from each other in terms of their textile structure, and/or an outermost sheath layer and a further sheath layer underneath said outermost sheath layer are provided, and wherein the textile subunits of the first hierarchy level of said outermost sheath layer differ in their textile structure from that of said further sheath layer. The textile subunits of a lowermost hierarchy level of the rope are neither dispersed in a resin matrix in the outermost sheath layer nor in the further sheath layer arranged underneath the outermost sheath layer.

Abstract: A hybrid strand includes a core and outer wires arranged around the core, wherein at least a part of the outer wires is compressed, wherein the compressed outer wires include a flattened cross-sectional shape, the outer wires are composed of steel, and the core is a fiber core. A corresponding production method produces such a hybrid strand.

Abstract: A backflow blocking arrangement is for an injection unit of an injection molding machine having a plasticising screw with a front end for carrying the backflow blocking arrangement. The arrangement has a screw tip, a blocking bush and a blocking sleeve each with a base body material. The screw tip has friction surfaces and the blocking bush and the blocking sleeve each have sealing and friction surfaces. At least one of the friction and sealing surfaces is formed by a protective layer made of a fusion metallurgical compound of the base body material plus an additive. The additive is any one or more of a metal, a carbide, a carbonitride, a boride, a carboboride, a silicide, a sulfide or an oxide. The screw tip includes a mixed layer between its base body material and its outer layer, that includes the additive. The mixed layer is thinner than the outer layer and both the outer layer and the mixed layer include base body material in specific proportions with the additive.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing wear and corrosion-protected surfaces on plasticized screws for injection molding machines forms the wear-resistent layers over the entire screw surface in two steps. A laser technique is used to melt additives into the surfaces of the screw rib, flank and top as well as the screw base by high-speed flame spring with hard metallic and/or ceramic substances.

Abstract: A process for producing a coating on the surface of a plastifier screw for injection molding machines includes applying to a hard-metallic or ceramic substrate with low distortion, a steel screw base element, by high-speed flame spraying. During the coating process, a spray jet treats the different surface regions of the screw base element including the flanks and top of a rib as well as the base of the screw, independently.
