| 20080308425 | CORROSION AND WEAR RESISTANT COATING FOR MAGNETIC STEEL - A method is provided for manufacturing a magnetic steel component. An electroless nickel plating is formed on a substrate that includes magnetic steel. A thermal cycle is thereafter performed at a temperature that is sufficiently high to sinter the electroless nickel plating and thereby form a densified plating on the substrate. According to one embodiment, the thermal cycle includes a solid state diffusion sintering process wherein the substrate and the densified plating are heated to a temperature of at least about 1300° F. (about 704° C.) but.below the melting temperature of the electroless nickel plating. According to another embodiment, the thermal cycle includes a transient liquid phase sintering process wherein the substrate and the densified plating are heated at least to the melting temperature of the electroless plating. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090062159 | NON-LUBRICATED COMPONENTS AND MACHINE SYSTEMS AND VEHICLES INCLUDING THE COMPONENTS - A non-lubricated component configured to have friction contact with another component and machine systems including the component are provided. In an embodiment, by way of example only, the non-lubricated component includes an outer surface consisting essentially of rhenium having a purity of at least 99%, by weight. The outer surface of the non-lubricated component is capable of being substantially wear- and gall-resistant when contacted by another component at a stress of above 50 ksi. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090078524 | TORQUE LIMITING DEVICES FOR ACTUATORS - A torque limiting includes first and second rotational plates, first and second springs, and a slip device. The first rotational plate is coupled to a torque input device. The second rotational plate is coupled to a drive shaft, and is configured to be movable along an axial direction thereof. The first spring has a first free length, and exerts a first spring force against the second rotational plate toward the first rotational plate. The second spring has a second free length, smaller than the first free length, and selectively exerts a second spring force against the second rotational plate toward the first rotational plate. The slip device, disposed at least partially within or between the first and second rotational plates, causes relative motion between the first and second rotational plates when torque overcomes the combined first and second spring forces exerted against the second rotational plate. | 03-26-2009 |
