Various embodiments include particles comprising an antimicrobial surface and a layer comprising antimony-tin oxide and manganese oxide.

Particle having an antimicrobial surface, material for producing a coating using such particles, and method for producing such particles

A magnetic steel sheet including a layer adjoining at least one of a top side and bottom side of the magnetic metal sheet. The layer includes a metal oxide containing titanium oxide or tantalum oxide and the layer adjoins the magnetic steel sheet along a diffusion zone into which the titanium or tantalum of the metal oxide has diffused into the magnetic steel sheet. The diffusion zone is produced on at least one of a top surface and a bottom surface of the magnetic steel sheet and the diffusion layer diffuses one of tantalum and titanium as metal into the at least one surface. The metal of the at the at least one surface is converted into an associated metal oxide to form the layer including the metal oxide, and a residual content of the metal of the metal oxide remains in the diffusion zone.

Magnetic steel sheet having a layer improving the electrical insulation and method for the production thereof

Particles, embedded into a sliding layer, have a coating, within which a lubricant, e.g., a liquid, is contained. A component with the sliding layer provides a sliding surface that can be used as a backup bearing to ensure emergency operating properties, for example, of a shaft that is mounted in a main bearing. When the shaft strikes the bearing surface, the coating of the particles that are exposed on the bearing surface are destroyed and the lubricant can exit. Advantageously, the sliding properties of the sliding surface are thereby improved.

Component with a sliding surface for bearing another component, and method for producing a sliding layer

A method for the electrochemical coating of a workpiece surface (), micro- or nanoscale particles being introduced into the coating is provided. During coating, at least one jet composed of a jet medium comprising the micro- or nanoscale particles to be introduced is directed onto the workpiece surface ().

Electrode arrangement and method for electrochemical coating of a workpiece surface

The invention relates to a component that is suitable for use as a sliding bearing. The invention further relates to a method for the production of said component. The design of the component according to the invention provides a layer of a light metal material (), which is provided with an oxide layer () containing pores () in the direction of the sliding surface () of the component. A hard material () is placed in the pores, which greatly increases the firmness of said layer region, thus creating the mechanical firmness for use as a sliding bearing. In order to counteract the tendency of said firm layer region to experience brittle failure, the oxide layer () is coated with a solid lubricant layer (). Said solid lubricant layer comprises a metallic, ductile matrix (), which distributes a force (F) acting at certain points over a larger surface region (b). In order to improve the sliding characteristics, particles of a solid lubricant () are simultaneously embedded in the solid lubricant layer ().

Component for the sliding support of another component, and process for producing it

The invention relates to a component made from a substrate with a coating, whereby that coating forms a surface of the component with reduced wettability. The invention further relates to production of said component. The coating which forms a surface with projections and recesses, brings about a reduction in wettability, in particular, by means of an effect based on the properties of lotus blossom. According to the invention, a metal with antimicrobial properties, in particular silver is provided under the coating, which is not fully covered, in other words, regions remain free of the coating in which the surface of the component is formed by the antimicrobial properties.

Component with a coating for reducing the wettability of the surface and method for production thereof

An inking ribbon for transferring color under the influence of heat. The inking ribbon including a carrier layer, an ink layer, and a decomposable components that promotes the transfer of the color upon the application of heat. The decomposable component is cellulose nitrate, the decomposition temperature of the cellulose nitrate is variable in the range between 100.degree. C. and 150.degree. C. with catalytic additives.
