摘要:
The piston ring of the present invention comprises a thermal spray coating comprising chromium carbide particles having an average particle size of 5 µm or less, and a matrix metal composed of a Ni-Cr alloy or a Ni-Cr alloy and Ni at least on an outer peripheral surface, said thermal spray coating having an average pore diameter of 10 µm or less and a porosity of 8% or less by volume. A piston ring having excellent wear resistance, scuffing resistance and peeling resistance with little attackability on a mating member is obtained by forming a homogeneous thermal spray coating having a fine microstructure.

The present invention discloses a gas sensing device, an oxygen pumping cell, and a NOX gas detection apparatus using the same for detecting lower ranges of NOX gas concentration with high accuracy and stability. An under layer (15) made of oxygen-ion-conductive solid electrolyte was formed between an electrolyte substrate (1) and a sensing electrode (5), a conversion electrode or a gas treatment electrode. This allows the physical and chemical adhesion between these electrodes and the electrolyte substrate, thereby improving the sensing properties and stability.

The present invention discloses a NOx sensor for accurately detecting the total concentration of nitrogen oxides in a measured gas without being affected by interference gases. The sensor comprises a gas treatment chamber (5) arranged at the prior stage of the gas detection chamber (3), an inorganic porous member (25) loaded in the gas treatment chamber, and a NOx conversion pumping cell (14,15) and/or an oxygen supplying pumping cell which supplies oxygen into the gas treatment chamber. When the measured gas is introduced in the gas treatment chamber, the interference gases contained in the measured gas are effectively oxidized by the supplied oxygen under the assistance of the catalytic activity of inorganic porous member. The total amount of the nitrogen oxides is measured in the gas detection chamber while NOx in the measured gas are converted into a single component (NO 2 or NO) by the NOx conversion pumping cell after the interference gases are oxidized.

A process for manufacturing a thin film of high-Tc superconducting oxide by means of chemical vapor deposition technique using vaporizing sources for the elements constituting the superconducting oxide and a carrier gas with oxygen, which process comprises depositing a layer of an oxide composition on a substrate under a chemical deposition condition of a temperature below 1,000 DEG C and a reduced pressure from vaporizing sources for the elements including at least barium, yttrium and copper and subjecting the so deposited layer to epitaxial crystal growth to form an oxide thin film having a chemical composition of Ba2YCu3O7-y, wherein said vaporizing sources consist each of an organic complex compound, such as beta -diketone complex.
摘要:
An impact and a vibration are applied to a portion of a piston ring (35) on which a belt body (17) is wound, and a vibration is also applied to the belt body. A position where a desired tension can be obtained is obtained by using a master gauge (31) having an outer diameter equal to the inner diameter of a cylinder, and the like. When measuring the tension, a measuring mechanism (21) is moved to this position. The frictional force between the piston ring (35) and the belt body (17) can be considerably decreased, and a closed gap need not be measured every time measurement is performed. Accordingly, the tension of the piston ring can be stably measured at high precision within a short period of time.

An object of the invention is to obtain a similar side sealing effect to what would be obtained when a means for cutting a ring corner angled portion for improvement of side sealing is used for a compression ring (1) having a special abutment comprising a projecting portion (2) provided in an upper corner angled portion of one of abutment end portions and a recessed receiving portion (3) provided in the other abutment end portion for receiving the projecting portion without using the same means and to enlarge the cross-sectional area of the projecting portion (2). To this end, grooves (14, 15) are formed in an inner circumferential surface (16) of a compression ring (11) in such a manner that centers of those grooves are positioned above a transverse center of the ring. Since the necessity of inner cutting is obviated, it is possible to enlarge the cross-sectional area of a projecting portion (12).

An exhaust gas cleaner comprises a first Ag catalyst, a second Ag catalyst, a transition metal catalyst selected from a Pt catalyst, a W catalyst, a W+Pt catalyst and a mixed catalyst of the Pt catalyst and the W catalyst. The second Ag catalyst and the Pt catalyst may be physically mixed together to form a mixed catalyst. Another exhaust gas cleaner comprises an Ag catalyst, a Cu catalyst and a W+Pt catalyst. The Cu catalyst and the W+Pt catalyst may be physically mixed together to form a mixed catalyst. Still another exhaust gas cleaner comprises a mixed catalyst of an Ag catalyst and a Cu catalyst. The exhaust gas cleaner may effectively remove nitrogen oxides from a wide temperature range of exhaust gases.
摘要:
The surface (15) of a sliding member, such as a piston ring (14), is coated with a compound containing at least chromium nitride. A columnar crystal structure is present in a tension fracture surface of the coating, the columns being aligned towards the coating surface from the substrate surface. A PVD process such as ion plating may be used to form the coating. The composition of the coating may be CrN, Cr 2 N or a mixture thereof in a uniform phase and the crystals of the coating are preferably oriented with the (111) face parallel to the surface.
