Abstract: An electromagnetic relay, in particular a motor vehicle relay, contains a magnet yoke, a relay coil, a hinged armature which is pivotable about an axis of rotation and on which a moving contact, as working or switchover contact, is retained relative to at least one fixed contact. A piezo actuator is provided, which keeps the working or switchover contact closed when the relay coil is de-energized as a result of the actuation of the piezo actuator.

Abstract: The invention relates to cast parts which contain at least 87 wt. % silicon nitride and up to 13 wt. % of an additive combination comprised of Al2O3 and Y2O3. The initial composition of the mass formulation starts with Y2O3/Al2O3 ratios of less than 1.1, preferably with Y2O3 Al2O3 ratios of 0.2 to 1.09. 1% to 20% of the Y2O3 portion can thus be substituted by an additional element of the group IVb of the periodic table or by the oxide thereof. The cast parts can comprise up to 1.0 wt. % HfO2 and/or ZrO2. Said cast parts preferably have a thickness >98% of the theoretic thickness. At room temperature, the bending strength of the inventive cast parts amounts to ?1100 MPa and amounts to ?850 MPa at 1000° C. The inventive cast parts correspond to the formula Si6-zAlzOzN8-z. The degree of substitution z thus amounts to 0.20 to 0.60, preferably from 0.22 to 0.54, especially from 0.3 to 0.35.

Abstract: A method for increasing the wear-resistance of a work piece involves connecting the work piece to a non-formable core material having a greater hardness than that of the work piece material. In order to improve the connection while simultaneously reducing the costs, the core material is connected in a form-fitting manner to the work piece by means of cold extrusion or hot extrusion of the work piece material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing a flat slide valve with incorporation of at least one inlet disk in a housing or in at least one element of a housing, wherein the inlet disk is joined to the housing or to at least one element of the housing by forcelocking, formlocking and/or bonding. The invention further provides a flat slide valve having at least one sealing disk, in which at least one of the sealing disks is incorporated into an element of the flat slide valve.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composite body in which a ceramic component and a metal component are bonded to one another by internal soldering. The internal soldering is effected with soldering composition in a recess (2) within a component (1) of the one material in which there is arranged a component (3) of the other material which is shaped to fit accurately. The recess (2) is, at at least one end-face opening, surrounded by a chamfer (5) having an angle .phi. smaller than 35.degree. C., while the wetting angle .beta. between the soldering composition and the plane of the component surface in which the recess is located is smaller than 40.degree..
