Abstract:
The disclosure generally relates to a wear resistant turbine fan blade having a composite lubricated sheet adhered to a root of the turbine fan blade and having improved tribological properties at high temperatures.
Abstract:
The process basically comprises: dissolving a lamellar disulphide, as a source of the solid lubricant, in an aqueous solvent, forming a first aqueous solution; dissolving a reducing agent, as hydroxylamine, sodium hypophosphite or sodium borohydride, in an aqueous solvent, forming a second aqueous solution; mixing the first and second aqueous solutions, forming a third aqueous solution; neutralizing the pH of the third aqueous solution; dissolving a sulphur source, in an aqueous solvent, forming a fourth aqueous solution; mixing the third and fourth aqueous solutions, forming a fifth aqueous solution, which is contained and heated in an autoclave; cooling the fifth aqueous solution to the room temperature; and removing, from the autoclave, the nanoparticles in powder form.
Abstract:
A biphasic nanoporous vitreous carbon material with a cementitious morphology characterized by presence of non-round porosity, having superior hardness and tribological properties, as useful for high wear-force applications. The biphasic nanoporous vitreous carbon material is produced by firing, under inert atmosphere, of particulate vitrified carbon in a composition containing (i) a precursor resin that is curable and pyrolyzable to form vitreous carbon and, optionally, (ii) addition of one or more of the following: solid lubricant, such as graphite, boron nitride, or molybdenum disulfide; a heat-resistant fiber reinforcement, such as copper, bronze, iron alloy, graphite, alumina, silica, or silicon carbide; or one or more substances to improve electrical conductivity, such as dendritic copper powder, copper "felt" or graphite flake, to produce a superior vitreous carbon that is useful alone or as a continuous phase in reinforced composites, in relation to conventional glassy carbon materials.
Abstract:
The retainer (20) of the present invention is made of a composite material having a body made from a polymer, a layer of solid lubricant formed over the body by chemically coating the body with a porous layer of solid lubricant and impregnating the solid lubricant with another lubricant using conventional methods such as vacuum impregnation. The retainer (20) is placed between an outer raceway (32) and an inner raceway (34) to form a self-lubricating bearing (30). The bearing (30) made in this manner has high lubrication tolerance (i.e. it performs well in the absence of external lubrication). Because of its high lubrication tolerance, the bearing is suitable for use in various applications such as dental/medical hand pieces that are periodically sterilized and other applications which occasionally experience periods of lubrication starvation.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a new composite material comprising a porous matrix made of metal, metal alloy or semiconducting material and hollow fullerene-like nanoparticles of a metal chalcogenide compound or mixture of such compounds. The composite material is characterized by having a porosity between about 10 % and about 40 %. The amount of the hallow nanoparticles in the composite material is 1-20 wt.%.
Abstract:
According to the method of the invention, first a paste is produced from a plastics dispersion and fillers in order to form the plastics sliding layer. This paste is free from organic solvents and is applied to a sintered porous metal layer. The resultant multi-layer material is then sintered. Since organic solvents are not used, the risks to health and the risk of fire are considerably reduced. Furthermore, the composite materials produced according to the invention have exceptional resistance to cavitation. In addition to conventional fields of application relative to lubrication-free articles, such as bearings, these composite materials can therefore also be used in gear pumps and shock absorbers.
