20090118148 | LOW-FRICTION SLIDING MECHANISM | 05-07-2009 |
20110143976 | NITROGEN-CONTAINING AMORPHOUS CARBON-TYPE FILM, AMORPHOUS CARBON-TYPE LAMINATION FILM, AND SLIDING MEMBER - Provided is a nitrogen-containing amorphous carbon film exhibiting excellent durability even when formed on the surface of a sliding member used under high surface pressure or under a lubricating oil environment. The nitrogen-containing amorphous carbon film is formed by physical evaporation onto the sliding surface of a sliding member and contains 8.0 to 12.0 atomic % of hydrogen and 3.0 to 14.0 atomic % of nitrogen. The nitrogen-containing amorphous carbon film is effective when, for instance, formed on at least one sliding surface of a sliding member, such as a sliding part of an automobile engine. | 06-16-2011 |

20150072906 | SLIDING MECHANISM AND GREASE COMPOSITION FOR SLIDING MECHANISMS - A sliding mechanism includes first and second members slidable relative to each other and a grease composition interposed between the first and second members and containing a thickening agent and a base oil, wherein the grease composition contains lithium 12-hydroxystearate as the thickening agent and dioctyl sebacate and/or poly-α-olefin as the base oil; and wherein at least one of the first and second member has a sliding surface coated with a hard carbon film of diamond-like carbon. | 03-12-2015 |
20160032084 | CARBON MATERIAL FOR BEARINGS AND SLIDING MEMBER MADE OF CARBON MATERIAL FOR BEARINGS - A carbon material for bearings includes a porous carbon base material and an impregnation material. The impregnation material is made of resin or metal, and with which the carbon base material is impregnated. The carbon material for bearings includes a plurality of pores. When a pore distribution in the carbon material for bearings is measured by a mercury penetration method using a mercury porosity meter, a cumulative pore volume of pores having a diameter larger than 0.1 μm is not more than 8 mm | 02-04-2016 |
20160130519 | METHODS FOR PREPARING ANTI-FRICTION COATINGS - An article comprises a substrate; a coating comprising a carbon composite; and a binding layer disposed between the substrate and the coating. The carbon composite comprises carbon and a binder containing one or more of the following: SiO | 05-12-2016 |
