    Abstract: A cam treatment to reduce the friction coefficient thereof relative to a counterpart in an area provided with a hard coating made from amorphous Diamond-Like Carbon or DLC, involves disposing the cams on a support, bringing the support and the cams into a chamber placed under vacuum so as to clean the cams, bringing the support into relative movement along a trajectory of travel relative to a coating source, and taking the cams off the support before assembling them on a camshaft; the method involves disposing the cams on the support in a fixed configuration which is defined in such a way that the cams are brought successively opposite the source with orientations and at distances substantially identical relative to the source, to deposit a hard coating made from amorphous Diamond-Like Carbon or DLC, selectively on the fraction of the section of the cams that is oriented towards the source.

    Abstract: The bore of the ring has workings suitable to act as a grease reserve at a friction area. A self-lubricating coating layer with a low wettability is applied to the entire surface of the bore, including in the workings suitable to act as a grease reserve, such that after wearing of the layer of self-lubricating coating at the friction surface of the bore, the difference in wettability between the friction surface and the workings still having the coating layer, enables the grease to be drawn out of the workings in order to lubricate the friction area.

    Abstract: Various implementations include a combustion engine piston, including a skirt in a counter-part and including a first contact area of the piston in the counter-part, a head which extends transverse to a central axis, and a ring carrier which comprises at least two lands and at least two grooves for receiving the rings, including a first land adjoining the head and a second land situated between the first land and the skirt, wherein the lands include at least one contact land having a diameter greater than a minimum diameter of the skirt to form a second contact area of the piston in the counter-part, and wherein at least one contact land comprises a friction-reducing surface coating, formed at least on a radial sector covering an angle of at least 30 degrees, and up to on a single sector covering an angle of 360 degrees.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for surface treatment of a steel component, providing high resistance to wear and corrosion, including nitriding or nitrocarburising to form a compound layer with a thickness of at least 8 micrometers made up of iron nitrides having phases ε and/or γ′, oxidizing to generate a layer of oxides with a thickness of 0.1-3 micrometers, and soaking in an impregnation bath during at least 5 minutes at room temperature, the bath being made up of at least 70 wt %, ±1%, of a solvent made up of a mixture of hydrocarbons formed by a C9 to C17 alkane fraction, 10 to 30 wt %, ±1%, of at least one paraffin oil formed by a C16 to C32 alkane fraction, and at least one additive such as a synthetic phenolic additive with a concentration of 0.01 to 3 wt %, ±0.1%.
