Abstract:
The element is formed from the winding of a fabric of small thickness ranging between 20 μm and 150 μm and mixed with a resin containing fillers. The fabric has the form of strips having a width ranging between 5 mm and 200 mm, with the strips being crossed in several layers.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a self-lubricating composite friction part (1) that can be subjected, during operation, to temperatures that are at least equal to 250° C. The part includes, along the friction surface (2), a single layer of a material consisting of weft and warp yarns made of polytetrafluoroethylene, the material being impregnated with a thermostable resin having a glass transition temperature that is at least equal to 250° C. It is applied to a reinforcing layer (3).
Abstract:
This assembly includes a ball joint assembled in a casing, and receiving an axle capable of sliding and/or rotating therein. The ball joint is formed from the winding of a fabric of small thickness ranging between 20 μm and 150 μm and mixed with a resin comprising fillers. The fabric has the form of strips having a width ranging between 5 mm and 200 mm; the strips being crossed in several layers.

Abstract:
The ring or the component have workings to supply grease to the friction area at given time intervals, with the bore of the ring having workings able to act as a grease reserve. The ring's bore has facilities suitable for putting the grease supply workings in communication with all the workings suitable to act as a grease reserve.
Abstract:
A metal foil including on at least one of its sides a layer of a material including: a metal or a metal alloy, carbon, hydrogen, and optionally oxygen, the atomic percentage of the metal or of the metals of the alloy in the material ranging from 10 to 60%, the atomic percentage of carbon in the material ranging from 35 to 70%, the atomic percentage of hydrogen in the material ranging from 2 to 20%, and the atomic percentage of oxygen if present in the material being less than or equal to 10%. The metal foil can be used in the manufacture of a cathode of a lithium-ion electrochemical cell. The deposition of this layer reduces the internal resistance of the cell.
Abstract:
Some embodiments are directed to a multimaterial powder used in the field of metallurgy and plasturgy. The multimaterial powder includes support particles having a median particle size distribution between 1 μm and 100 μm and functionalising particles having a median particle size distribution that is a factor of 10 to 1000 lower relative to the support particles. The powder is characterised in that the support particles and the functionalising particles form composite grains having a core-shell structure that each have a core formed by a support particle, and a shell, that covers between 10 and 100% of the surface of the support particle and which is formed by at least one surface layer of the functionalising particles.
Abstract:
A mechanical part provided with an amorphous carbon coating (with at least 70 wt. % of carbon not including hydrogen) and used to cooperate slidingly with an antagonistic part having a surface hardness which is a maximum of two thirds of that of the coating. The mechanical part is such that the coating has a roughness Ra which, measured by profilometry, is equal to a maximum of 0.050 microns and, measured by atomic force microscopy, a micro-roughness which is equal to a minimum of 0.004 microns and a maximum of 0.009 microns. This minimizes the wear of the less hard antagonistic part and that of the coating.
Abstract:
Some embodiments are directed to the manufacture of functional composites (electrical conductors, thermal conductors, etc.) produced from coated powders.
Abstract:
An inside surface of an internal combustion engine liner is treated to have a surface roughness Ra smaller than 0.06 μm, and then receives a DLC coating. A method of producing the internal combustion engine liner includes: forming the liner from a metal material, polishing an inside surface of the liner to obtain a polished inside surface of roughness Ra smaller than 0.06 μm, and applying the DLC coating to the polished inside surface.
