Abstract:
A method for connecting a first component from a metal aluminide or a refractory Ti alloy to a second component from steel, metal aluminide or a refractory Ti alloy, especially from a steel shaft, by friction welding is disclosed. An intermediary from an Ni alloy is inserted between the first component and the second component and friction welding is carried out. A connecting layer is produced from the intermediary and is firmly connected on both ends to the first and the second component. A turbocharger rotors and valves for internal combustion engines produced by the disclosed method is also provided.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a surface layer which comprises a plurality of layers, of which one layer is a ceramic wear-resistant layer and another layer is a transition layer to a metallic substrate element. The transition layer comprises intermetallic phases and is formed by a reaction from the materials of the substrate element and of the ceramic layer.
Abstract:
A brake unit includes a brake disc of a ceramic material and a brake pad that cooperates with it in tribological fashion. The brake pad is made of a sintered metal material or of an inorganically bound material having a ceramic binding phase and metal particles. The brake unit has a high thermal loading capacity, very good performance characteristics in terms of comfort, and an acceptable service life.
