  • Publication number: 20130200572
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a vehicle piston ring having a multi-layer coating. The vehicle piston ring includes a Cr or Ti buffer layer, a CrN or Ti(C)N intermediate layer, a first TiAlN/CrN nano multi-layer, and a second TiAlCN/CrCN nano multi-layer. The Cr or Ti buffer layer is coated over the base material of the piston ring. The CrN or Ti(C)N intermediate layer is coated over the Cr or Ti buffer layer. The first TiAlN/CrN nano multilayer is coated over the CrN or Ti(C)N intermediate layer. The second TiAlCN/CrCN nano multilayer is coated over the first TiAlN/CrN nano multilayer as an outermost surface layer.

  • Publication number: 20120315453
    Abstract: This invention relates to a coating layer structure of a basic material of a mold, which exhibits good adhesion between a coating material and a basic material and does not cause cracking when coated. Such a coating layer structure includes an ion nitriding layer formed at the surface of the basic material, a middle coating layer formed on the ion nitriding layer using AlTiCrN, AlCrSiN, AlTiSiN, or AlTiCrSiN, and a surface coating layer formed on the middle coating layer using AlTiCrCN, AlCrSiCN, AlTiSiCN, or AlTiCrSiCN.

  • Publication number: 20120129636
    Abstract: Friction reducing units are integrally configured in a tensioner arm and a chain guide that are disposed at both sides of a timing chain to make contact with the timing chain, respectively to increase the thickness of the oil film, such that it is possible to improve durability of an entire timing chain system while preventing noise from being generated by reducing a friction loss generated on each of contact surfaces of the tensioner arm and the chain guide and prevent fuel efficiency of the vehicle from being deteriorated.
