Abstract:
A two-stroke, U-type uniflow engine includes a cylinder block forming parallel first and second cylinders and a common combustion chamber connecting the first and second cylinders. First and second pistons are mounted for reciprocal, linear movement within the first and second cylinders respectively. The engine also includes a crank shaft having a crank pin and a one-piece forked connecting rod connecting each of the first and second pistons to the crank pin. The connecting rod is elastically, bilaterally flexible to accommodate variations between a maximum distance between the first and second pistons and a minimum distance between the first and second pistons and is in a relaxed state halfway between the maximum distance and the minimum distance. The central wall has a slot for passage of the connecting rod therethrough and angled notches which correspond to maximum angles of the connecting rod. The connecting rod is designed to minimize weight and length and the engine bore and stroke are selected to minimize the difference between the maximum and minimum distance of the wrist pin displacement in order to reduce vibrations and to increase engine output by maintaining high crankcase compression.
Abstract:
Procédé de fabrication d'un matériau céramique renforcé par des fibres qui consiste à former une préforme (11) de fibres céramiques, à placer la préforme dans un moule poreux (12, 13) et à appliquer à celle-ci une pâte de céramique (14) dans le moule. On laisse ensuite la pâte de céramique (14) imprégner la préforme (11) en appliquant un différentiel de pression de manière à obtenir une préforme imprégnée (15). Cette dernière est ensuite retirée du moule (12, 13), le liquide de la pâte est extrait et la préforme est thermo-traitée. Les fibres céramiques et la pâte peuvent contenir de l'alumine, de la laine de kao, du carbure de silicium, du nitrure de silicium et/ou de la zircone.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a magnesium alloy having high yield strength and also high tensile strength. SOLUTION: The magnesium alloy is composed of Mg-Zn-Y-RE (rare earth elements) based alloy containing Zn and Y as essential components, at least one or more elemens among La, Ce, Nd, Pr, Sm and Yb as the rare earth elements, and the balnce Mg with inevitable impurities. The alloy structure of the Mg-Zn-Y-RE based alloy has LPSO (Long Period Stacking Oxide), αMg phase and at least one or more compound among Mg-RE compound or Mg-Zn-RE compound. Further, the LPSO and the compound constitute a stack-layer structure, the thickness of the LPSO is 0.5-5 μm, and the thickness of the compound is 0.01-2 μm. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a discharge valve for improving the structural strength of the valve and reducing the weight of the valve. SOLUTION: The discharge valve (100) of a compressor is disclosed. The discharge valve (100) includes a spring-loaded valve body member (120). The valve body member (120) is preferably made of nonferrous metal like aluminum or magnesium and is coated by a cover (110) of uniform thickness, the cover (110) being preferably made of a plastic material such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK) by insertion molding. In such a way, a wear-resistant and light-weight discharge valve is produced. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

PURPOSE:To enable production of a member provided with all of lightness, heat resistance and heat insulation characteristics by forming a composite material consisting of fiber and light alloy and having low heat conductivity and coefft. of thermal expansion and a melt sprayed layer of a heat-resistant alloy on the surface of a light alloy member. CONSTITUTION:A heat-resistant alloy 3 such as a 18-8 stainless steel, Ni-Cr alloy or the like is melt sprayed on one side of carbon fiber, aluminum fiber, SiC fiber or metallic fiber of W, stainless steel, etc. and is disposed in a casting mold in such a way that the melt sprayed layer comes into contact with the inside surface of the casting mold, then a molten light alloy such as an Al alloy or the like is cast therein in the stage of developing a lightweight member having heat resistance and heat insulation characteristic to be used as a piston for an internal combustion engine, etc. The molten light alloy infiltrates the fiber inside to form a composite layer 2 and the heat-resistant light alloy material consisting of a melt sprayed heat-resistant light alloy layer 3 of 10mum-5mm. thickness, the composite layer of 2-30mm. thickness consisting of total 20-50% heat-resistant fibers incorporated in the content lower on the body 1 side and higher on the layer 3 side and the light alloy, and the light alloy body 1 is obtd.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a metal cast component (1), which is intended in particular for parts of internal combustion engines or piston compressors, such as pistons, gearboxes, crankcases and other housings and/or cylinder heads, wherein the cast component (1) consists at least in certain portions of an iron aluminide and/or is a composite cast component comprising at least two portions (2, 3), which consist of a cast iron and/or an iron aluminide and/or a light metal. The invention also relates to a method for producing a metal cast component (1), in particular for parts of internal combustion engines or piston compressors, such as pistons, gearboxes, crankcases and other housings and/or cylinder heads, which consists of one or more cast materials such as cast iron and/or iron aluminide and/or light metal, in which method a first portion (2) of the cast component (1) is produced in a first casting operation and a further portion (3) of the cast component (1) is produced in a further casting operation and a coating, in particular of iron aluminide and/or a nickel alloy, is applied as a coupling agent layer to the first portion (2) before the further casting operation.
