Abstract: The present invention relates to a relief valve (1) for a turbocharger, in which the crank arm (3) is made of a first material and the shaft (4) is made of a second material different from the first material used for manufacturing the crank arm (3), each of the materials containing a composition that provides the necessary properties according to the application of each component of the relief valve (1). The present invention also relates to a process for manufacturing the relief valve (1), which allows the crank arm (3) and the shaft (4) to be manufactured separately, using different materials for the manufacture of each component.

Abstract: A cylinder for an internal combustion engine may include a metallic cylinder body and an amorphous diamond-like hard carbon film disposed on an internal peripheral surface of the cylinder body. The amorphous diamond-like carbon film may include a roughness ranging from Rz 0.5 ?m to Rz 4.0 ?m.

Abstract: An oil-control ring for an internal combustion engine, to be mounted between the sidewalls of a respective groove of a piston has two ring segments and an annular expander disposed between the two ring segments and presenting a support body defining a seating plane for each ring segment. The ring has at least one expander portion axially projecting from the support body of the expander, beyond at least one of the seating planes of a ring segment, and at least one superficial irregularity provided in at least one of the ring segments and which is dimensioned to be contained in the thickness of the respective ring segment and to interfere with at least one expander portion, in order to rotatively lock the ring segment in relation to the expander.

Abstract: A flange, particularly developed for use on a flanged bearing, and to constrain a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine, the flange (4) having coined oil grooves, with or without a ramp after it and a rounded pad in between two grooves, enabling the formation of a better lubricating oil film.

Abstract: An oil-control ring for an internal combustion engine, to be mounted between the sidewalls of a respective groove (10) of a piston (P) and comprising two ring segments (20) and an annular expander (30) disposed between the two ring segments (20) and presenting a support body (31) defining a seating plane for each ring segment (20), the ring further comprising: at least one expander portion (40) axially projecting from the support body (31) of the expander (30), beyond at least one of the seating planes of a ring segment (20); and at least one superficial irregularity (50) provided in at least one of the ring segments (20) and which is dimensioned to be contained in the thickness of the respective ring segment (20) and to interfere with at least one expander portion (40), in order to rotatively lock said ring segment (20) in relation to the expander (30).
