  • Patent number: 12018360
    Abstract: A method for producing an Al—Cr—O-based coating on a workpiece surface, including: a) placing a workpiece in an interior of a vacuum chamber, and b) depositing a film comprising aluminum and chromium on the workpiece surface to be coated, wherein a ratio of aluminum to chromium in the film in atomic percentage has a first value corresponding to Al/Cr?2.3, and c) forming volatile compounds of Cr—O, thereby causing at least part of the chromium contained in the film to leave the film in a form of Cr—O volatile compounds, and d) executing step c) during a period of time, within which the chromium content in the film is reduced until attaining a second value of the ratio of aluminum to chromium in the film in atomic percentage corresponding to Al/Cr?3.5, thereby the film is transformed into a film containing a reduced content of chromium.

  • Publication number: 20140124310
    Abstract: A positive friction powder additive for modifying existing brake pad or brake shoe formulations to reduce squealing associated with braking. The positive friction powder additive comprises a friction modifier and a solid lubricant and is comprised of talc, barytes, aluminum oxide, and molybdenum disulphide. The positive friction powder additive can be formulated with binders and fillers to prepare a non-metallic brake pad or brake shoe formulation and a non-metallic brake pad or brake shoe. The positive friction powder additive, non-metallic brake pad or brake shoe formulation, and non-metallic brake pad or brake shoe have high and positive frictional characteristic which reduces vibrations and noise by reducing stick/slip oscillations by changing friction from negative to positive.

  • Publication number: 20140024563
    Abstract: Anti-wear surface coatings and methods for making them are provided. Such anti-wear surface coatings are particularly suitable for use in a compressor, such as a scroll or rotary compressor. A precursor powder material can be applied via spraying to a wear surface of a metal component of the scroll or rotary compressor. The precursor powder material comprises a powderized thermoplastic polymer (e.g., PEEK), a first lubricant particle (e.g., molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)) and a second lubricant particle (e.g., polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)), which is heated to form a substantially uniform coating covering the underlying metal component having a thickness of less than or equal to about 0.006 inches (about 152 ?m). The anti-wear surface coating can be used on a face seal for a bellows-type shaft seal for compressors.

  • Publication number: 20140005083
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may provide textured surfaces to be lubricated, the texturing to enhance the effectiveness of the intended nano-lubrication. The texturing may make asperities and depressions in the surface to be lubricated. This texturing may be executed, for example, by chemical etching, laser etching, or other techniques. This texturing may create locations in the lubricated surface to hold or anchor the intended nano-lubricants, to facilitate the creation of a tribo-film on the surface when the lubricated surface is used under pressure, and resulting in delivery of multiple chemistries from the nano-lubricant.
