20090001669 | Sliding Element, in Particular Piston Ring, Method for Manufacturing a Sliding Element, Sliding System and Coating for a Sliding Element - A sliding element comprises at least one surface for sliding contact with a running face, wherein a wear layer and a run-in layer made from carbon are applied to the surface, and is characterized in that the run-in layer comprises hydrogen and nanocrystalline carbide phases. In a method for manufacturing a sliding element, the run-in layer is applied by means of a PVD process. A sliding system has an above-described sliding element and a body having a running face. A coating for a sliding element comprises a wear layer which can be applied to the upper side of the sliding element, and a run-in layer which is configured as a carbon layer, and is characterized in that the run-in layer comprises hydrogen and nanocrystalline carbide phases. | 01-01-2009 |
20100044968 | PISTON RING FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES - The invention relates to a piston ring which is produced from a carrier material, especially steel or a cast material.

20100171272 | PISTON RING - Disclosed is a piston ring comprising a supporting material and a wear-resistant coating. The wear-resistant coating is composed of a ternary system A-B—N which is applied using a PVD process and in which A and B each represent an element form the group encompassing Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo W, Al, Si and C, wherein A ≠B and N represents nitrogen. The thickness of the wear-resistant coating amounts to ≧3 μm. | 07-08-2010 |
20100187765 | PISTON RING - In order to avoid burn traces on piston rings, it is proposed to provide the piston ring with a wear-protection coating which consists of a material with a thermal conductivity of at least 180 W/(m.K). At least 5% vol. of the wear-protection coating consists of aluminum nitride. | 07-29-2010 |
20120228831 | PISTON RING - A piston ring, in particular a compression piston ring, includes a running surface, upper and lower flank areas, an inner peripheral area and a joint. The wall thickness of the piston ring is uniform over its periphery and at least the running surface is provided with a PVD coating or a CVD layer in such a manner that the running surface layer has a lesser layer thickness in the peripheral area close to the joint than in the remaining peripheral area of the running surface. | 09-13-2012 |
20130136861 | METHOD FOR COATING AT LEAST THE INNER FACE OF A PISTON RING AND PISTON RING - In a method for coating at least part of the inner face of a piston ring, said ring preferably consisting of cast iron or steel, a PVD and/or DLC coating is applied by means of at least one of the following methods: PA-CVD, glow discharge and/or HIPIMS. A piston ring has a coating that is formed at least on part of the inner face of said ring, said coating being a PVD and/or DLC coating that preferably has been applied by means of PA-CVD, glow discharge and/or HIPIMS. | 05-30-2013 |
