Принадлежит: BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES LLC

High-surface-area carbon nanostructures coated with a smooth and conformal submonolayer-to-multilayer thin metal films and their method of manufacture are described. The manufacturing process may involve initial oxidation of the carbon nanostructures followed by immersion in a solution with the desired pH to create negative surface dipoles. The nanostructures are subsequently immersed in an alkaline solution containing non-noble metal ions which adsorb at surface reaction sites. The metal ions are then reduced via chemical or electrical means and the nanostructures are exposed to a solution containing a salt of one or more noble metals which replace adsorbed non-noble surface metal atoms by galvanic displacement. Subsequent film growth may be performed via the initial quasi-underpotential deposition of a non-noble metal followed by immersion in a solution comprising a more noble metal. The resulting coated nanostructures may be used, for example, as high-performance electrodes in supercapacitors, batteries, or other electric storage devices.

Phosphated screw which after phosphating is provided with a siliceous sealing layer and has been rolled only after phosphating and after application of the siliceous sealing layer. 1. A phosphated screw characterised in that the screw is provided with a siliceous sealing after phosphating.2. The phosphated screw according to claim 1 , characterised in that the screw is rolled only after phosphating and the application of the siliceous sealing. The present invention relates to a phosphated screw.Currently in the motor industry, all internal engine screws are phosphated and subsequently oiled in order to maintain a certain resistance to corrosion and a defined coefficient of friction in accordance with OEM and German automobile industry standards. This creates the problem that the necessary oiling renders the screws so oily that oil residues collect in the transport packaging, which must be cleaned before being returned. In addition, the excess oil dirties the automatic assembly systems. These systems must then be cleaned frequently, resulting in the system having to remain idle unnecessarily. The application of oil also causes any dirt or debris which comes into contact with the screws to adhere thereto. In the case of large foreign bodies, this can lead to incorrect screw-fitting.Based on this prior art, the object of the present invention is therefore that of creating phosphated screws which do not require oiling, and which nevertheless have the necessary resistance to corrosion and in particular the predetermined coefficient of friction.Previous attempts to solve this problem have involved providing screws with solid film lubricants and the like. Solid film lubricants, however, have the disadvantage that they are either too thick, produce too much abrasion or are not sufficiently resistant to pressure.Different oil blends were also tried, but these too gave unsatisfactory results.According to the invention, the above-mentioned object will be solved for the first ...

Polycrystalline Cubic Boron Nitride (PcBN) Body Made With Distinct Layers of PcBN

Номер: US20140017435A1
Принадлежит: Diamond Innovations Inc

A polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PcBN) is fabricated using a process of overlaying layers of cubic boron nitride (cBN) powder, where the layers have cBN mixed with various concentrations of a ceramic. The process of fabricating the PcBN includes depositing, in a refractory capsule, a carbide, a cubic boron nitride (cBN), and a mixture of cBN and a ceramic, then applying a high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) to the content of the refractory capsule. During the depositing step of the process, the concentration of cBN in the mixture of the cBN and ceramic is lower than the concentration of cBN that is in the layer below it. Upon applying HPHT, the carbide first diffuses across the cBN layer, and then diffuses across the layer with the mixture of the cBN and ceramic. After HPHT ends and the content of the refractory capsule cools, the process yields a PcBN having layers with various concentrations of cBN, and at least one cBN layer with a ceramic material.
