Patent number: 5100701Abstract: Especially in gripper, insertion and bending tools of automatic insertion machines for electric components, the problem arises, that the production flow is adversely influenced because of solder accumulations at the tools. In machine design it is already known to apply hard material layers on a nitride base to improve tool surfaces; normally, better solder resistance is expected of them. According to the invention at least one second layer is provided as the cover layer with solid-lubricant properties, besides the nitride base layer. The base layer has here preferably a gradual change from high density in the boundary region to the base material of the tool to a porous rough structure at the boundary surface to the cover layer, where the change of the density can be continuous. The metal-nitride layer is advantageously a titanium nitride.With such coatings, the service life of the tools can be increased by more than one order of magnitude.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 1990Date of Patent: March 31, 1992Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Helmut Freller, Hans P. Lorenz, Friedrich Horauf, Peter Schack

Patent number: 5061684Abstract: In the process according to the invention, material is vaporized off a cathode and deposited on a substrate in a cathodic arc vaporization process, the arc base being moved on the cathode surface in a random or controlled manner. In the arc vaporization process, preferably at least two cathodes of different alloys or mixtures of the metallic components of the high temperature superconductor (HTSC) are activated for vaporization by an arc and the materials vaporized out of the different alloys are jointly deposited on the substrate, the arc vaporization process occurring reactivity under oxygen atmosphere of preset O.sub.2 partial pressure. A heat treatment for adjusting the structure and oxygen stoichiometry suitable for superconduction can be carried out after or during the vaporizing process.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 1989Date of Patent: October 29, 1991Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Helmut Freller, Peter Schack

Patent number: 4842710Abstract: In particular for coating tools and product components, which are subject to extremely high wear, metal nitride films are used. It has been found that if the metals have markedly different melting points, in accordance with the invention, the concentrations of the metals can be varied as a function of the film thickness. For manufacturing such mixed nitride films by vaporization of metal alloy cathodes by means of an arc while simultaneously introducing nitrogen as reaction gas, a variable voltage is applied to the substrate during vaporization of the metal alloy and varied as a function of the film thickness on the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 1988Date of Patent: June 27, 1989Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Helmut Freller, Peter Schack

Patent number: 4385976Abstract: In order to bring about durable solder joints on transparent thin film electrodes which themselves are not solderable, the conductive layer is treated as follows. First, the conductive layer is applied in a vacuum and, more specifically, in the fully oxidized state, and then a solderable layer is generated on the conductive layer in the same vacuum. The electrode consists preferably of an indiumtin oxide and the solder layer consists of copper. The proposed coating technique is particularly simple since the solder layer requires neither an adhesion aid nor a corrosion protection layer. If it consists of copper, it can withstand without difficulty, if it is thick enough, even small thermal stresses such as occur for instance in the fabrication of liquid crystal displays with cementing frame.The layer system is particularly well suited for the electrode leads of electro-optical displays such as liquid crystal displays.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 1982Date of Patent: May 31, 1983Assignee: Siemens AGInventors: Hans Schuster-Wolden, Helmut Freller, Hans Kruger, Wolfgang Welsch, Andre Peetermans, Hans J.
