Abstract:
A cavitation system and a process for treating an object, specifically an object containing an amount of ceramic material, operates to increase a property of at least the ceramic material within the object. The cavitation system includes a high pressure pump or fluidjet, a nozzle, and a hyperbaric chamber that holds the object to be treated. The treatment of the object includes submerging the object in a fluid medium, which may be within a hyperbaric chamber. The fluidjet and the nozzle then generate a large number of cavitation bubbles within the fluid medium. The cavitation bubbles collapse near a surface of the object and release large amounts of energy, which improves or increases a property, such as a mechanical property, of at least the ceramic material in the object.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to producing refractory composite materials, practically poreless, and can be used for production of composite articles with increased size stability, wear resistance, high specific physico-mechanical properties and hardness, production of wear-resistant inserts in components and materials for tribo-technical purposes as well.The present method for producing a refractory composite material includes the steps of infiltration of a porous carbide work-piece by a metal resulting in preparation of an intermediate body, which is additionally treated in a melt of another metal at temperature exceeding the melting point of the metallic phase of the intermediate body, resulting in substitution of the metal in the intermediate body by the metal from the melt. The present invention extends the series of metals, which ban be introduced in composition of composite materials, and thus extends the application area of composite materials of this type.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pad (1) for disk brakes, comprising a plate (3) for supporting a friction material (2), characterized in that the plate (3) is made substantially of a composite ceramic material or of a composite powder-metallurgical material. The pad (1) has excellent lightness whilst its strength remains unchanged. Moreover the pad (1) advantageously enables the transmission of heat towards the piston to be reduced.
