Abstract:
A swash plate 3 includes a substrate 11 made of an iron-based material, a hard first resin layer 12 provided to coat an end surface of the substrate 11, and a soft second resin layer 13 provided to coat the first resin layer 12. A spiral annular groove 12A is formed in a surface of the first resin layer 12, and the second resin layer 13 is provided to match the sectional shape of the first resin layer 12. With the soft second resin layer 13 on a sliding surface 3A of the swash plate 3, a swash plate 3 having a good fit in an initial stage of sliding can be provided. When the second resin layer 13 partially wears, a protrusion 12 of the first resin layer 12 of the hard resin is exposed to provide good wear resistance and good sliding properties.
Abstract:
A piston for in-cylinder fuel-injection type internal combustion engine includes a piston body, a low thermal conductor, and a piston head. The low thermal conductor is disposed on the top of the piston body. The low thermal conductor includes a low thermally-conductive substrate, and a coating layer. The low thermally-conductive substrate has opposite surfaces. The coating layer includes alumina fine particles (Al2O3). The coating layer is adhered on at least a part one of the opposite surfaces of the low thermally-conductive substrate that makes a cast-buried or enveloped surface to be cast buried or enveloped in the piston head.
Abstract:
The invention provides a refrigerant compressor that is capable of preventing seizure or galling at the bearing slide section and has high anti-wear properties.The refrigerant compressor includes a compressor mechanism for compressing a refrigerant. The compressor mechanism includes a fixed scroll 100 and an orbiting scroll 200, and the two scrolls are mutually meshed. The refrigerant compressor also includes a rotary shaft 300 for driving the compressor mechanism. A plain bearing(s) is/are provided either at the joint section between the rotary shaft and the compressor mechanism or at the support section supporting the rotary shaft or at both of the two sections. The plain bearing(s) is/are formed of lead-free resin-impregnated material capable of adsorbing wear particles, and the rotary shaft is formed of iron material. The section of the rotary shaft that slides against the plain bearing(s) is covered with a hard film 1000 of a hardness of 1000 Hv or more.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a diecast cylinder crankcase into which a liner (4) consisting of a plurality of cylinder sleeves is cast. Said liner (4) is produced by sandcasting and is placed in the diecasting mould. The liner (4) comprises an at least partially closed water jacket (6) which can optionally comprise cooling channels (10) in the connecting section (12).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for applying electro-deposited metal coatings (3) upon aluminium or aluminium alloy components (1). According to said method, the surface (4) of the component is cleaned in an appropriate solution, in particular a solution of oils, fats, emulsions, pigments, etc. Said surface (4 ) is then etched in an appropriate solution, such that a certain quantity of material or near-surface alloy constituents is dissolved. After cleaning and dissolution, water rinsing is carried out. Immediately after the dissolution of the near-surface regions, the surface (4) of said component (1) is activated in a solution, containing iron ions, with a sulphate base by the anodic coupling of said component (1). The functional layer (3) is then applied by the cathodic coupling of said component (1), without intermediate rinsing, in the same electrolyte or in a similar or equivalent electrolyte, said functional layer (3) being made of iron (5).
Abstract:
The description relates to a crankcase made of light metal for an internal combustion engine with a parting plane (4) running through the crankshaft axis between a case upper part and a case bottom part, whose bearing walls (2), which connect the case outer walls (1), are provided with inserts (3) made of an iron material, in which the bearing shells of the crankshaft bearing and the bearing bolts (7) provided on both sides of the bearing shells are borne. To achieve favorable construction features it is suggested that the bearing walls (2) forming a continuous light metal bridge between the case outer walls (1) accommodate the inserts (3) that are lower than the bearing walls (2) in recesses (8) starting from the parting plane (4) and are provided, in the area of the bearing bolts (7), with through holes (9) for the bolt heads (10).
Abstract:
A plain bearing having a metal backing, a bearing lining secured to the backing and an overlay plated to an interlayer, which is itself plated onto the bearing lining, is disclosed. The bearing lining is formed from an alloy based on aluminum or copper. The overlay is formed of an alloy of zinc with 0.5 to 25% by weight of a metal selected from nickel, cobalt and iron, and the material of the interlayer is selected from nickel and copper.
Abstract:
For a process for fracture separating the bearing cover of a multi-part bearing arrangement, particularly in crankcases of internal-combustion engines, by means of a half-mandrel in a bearing bore partially bounded by the bearing cover, for separating integrally constructed fastening flanges of the bearing cover from the remaining part of the bearing arrangement, it is suggested for producing fracture separating surfaces in planes sloping with respect to one another that the pairs of corresponding fracture separating surfaces of the bearing cover and the remaining part of the bearing arrangement are produced in separating areas which together enclose an obtuse angle (.alpha.) having a case-side vertex by at least one half-mandrel whose curvature radius, as a function of the respective obtuse angle (.alpha.), is selected to be by 0.5% to 5% smaller than the constant radius of the bore receiving the half-mandrel.
Abstract:
A replacement cylinder for the remanufacture of cast iron engine blocks includes a sleeve formed of cast iron and having a relatively thin wall, a selected length, an outer diameter to achieve a slight clearance of fit within an overbored cylinder, an inner diameter equal to the original specifications of the original manufacturer of the engine block, and a helical cross hatched inner surface finish. The replacement cylinders are manufactured by placing an unfinished sleeve in a boring fixture, boring the inner surface to a selected diameter, transferring the bored sleeve to a honing fixture, and honing the inner surface to the required diameter and surface finish. An adhesive is applied to the prefinished replacement cylinders and the overbored block cylinders, and the replacement cylinders are inserted into the overbored cylinders wherein the adhesive is allowed to cure to thereby adhesively retain the replacement cylinders within the block.
