Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide austempered spheroidal graphite cast iron for a component of a wind turbine, and to provide a method for manufacturing the component. SOLUTION: The component for the wind turbine is made from the austempered spheroidal graphite cast iron, which includes about 3.0 to about 3.8 wt.% carbon, about 1.9 to about 2.8 wt.% silicon, about 0.3 wt.% or less manganese, about 0.8 wt.% or less copper, about 2.0 wt.% or less nickel, about 0.3 wt.% or less molybdenum, about 0.03 to about 0.06 wt.% magnesium, less than about 0.05 wt.% chromium, less than about 0.02 wt.% vanadium, and less than about 0.01 wt.% sulfur. The component is preferably a drive shaft or gearbox component having a mass of more than about 3 tons. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
A scroll compressor is provided that may include a casing; a drive motor provided at an inner space of the casing; a rotational shaft coupled to a rotor of the drive motor, and rotated together with the rotor; a frame provided below the drive motor; a fixed scroll provided below the frame, and having a fixed wrap; and an orbiting scroll provided between the frame and the fixed scroll, having an orbiting wrap so as to form a compression chamber including a suction chamber, an intermediate pressure chamber, and a discharge chamber, by being engaged with the fixed wrap. In a state in which a center of the fixed scroll and a center of the orbiting scroll are substantially the same, an interval between the fixed wrap and the orbiting wrap gradually increases towards the suction chamber from the discharge chamber.
Abstract:
A compressor includes a housing, and an anticorrosive coating covering a surface of the housing. The anticorrosive coating includes a base layer applied on the surface of the housing, and a surface layer applied on the base layer. Both the base layer and the surface layer are organic coatings. Thus, the housing of the compressor is effectively separated from the external environment by means of the two organic coatings, so as to ensure that the compressor is not corroded; moreover, the anticorrosive coating does not contain a metal coating, thereby preventing the problem of the compressor being severely corroded due to an exposed metal coating.
Abstract:
A scroll compressor includes scroll members that are made of austempered grey iron in whole or in part. The austempering process can increases fatigue strength and toughness of a grey iron while maintaining its good machinability and vibration damping characteristics. Use of austempered grey iron scroll members allows the scroll compressor to improve its capacity, efficiency, and durability.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an air compressor (10) for supplying compressed air to a pneumatic system in a motor vehicle. The air compressor (10) comprises a crankcase (46), a cylinder housing (14) connected to the crankcase, a cylinder head (20), a crankshaft (40) rotatably mounted in the crankcase, a cylindrical piston (12) that is connected to the crankshaft (40) by a connecting rod (42). In order to load the compressed air with as little heat as possible, the crankcase (46), the cylinder housing (14), the cylinder head (20), and the piston (12) are made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and the at least one piston ring (54) or the at least one oil ring is made of gray cast iron or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
Abstract:
A cylinder liner for an engine block assembly of an internal combustion engine is provided. The cylinder liner includes a liner member formed of cast iron and presenting an outer surface. A first portion of the outer surface of the liner member is machined to a reduced outside diameter. An aluminum-based material is then thermally sprayed onto the machined first portion, while a second portion of the outer surface remains uncoated. The coated cylinder liner is then placed in a mold, and another aluminum-based material is cast around the coated cylinder liner to form the engine block assembly. During the casting process, the two aluminum-based materials form a strong intermetallic bond between the liner member and the engine block.

Abstract:
A vane pump is provided that may include a rotor having a plurality of slots formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof; a vane slidably inserted into each of the plurality of slots; and a cam ring configured to receive the rotor therein and having a inner circumferential surface in contact with an end portion of the vane. The rotor may be formed of nodular graphite cast iron, the vane may be formed of high speed tool steel, and the cam ring may be formed of alloy cast iron.
