Durability Increase by Polyester Coating of Some Quaternary Copper-Based Alloys Parts

Abstract

The need to increase the reliability of the metal parts and the assessment of the cost-quality parameters of a matrix require big manufacturers to find new technological solutions focused on the following aspects: thin layer deposits, metallic coatings, use of bimetals, and multilayer materials. The coating of the copper-based quaternary alloys with carbon graphite impregnated polyester aims to improve the performance of the metal parts used in the aeronautics, automotive, and railway industries. The goal is to achieve the following objectives: to reduce the rate of premature failure, to reduce the maintenance and service costs, and to increase the service life (the competitiveness of the manufacturing companies is positively influenced by the latter). This paper studies the operating behavior of some copper-based quaternary alloys coated with carbon graphite-impregnated polyester. The influence of the carbon graphite coating is studied in terms of operating behavior, especially aiming to assess the intensity of the wear and the intensity of the accumulated wear. On the whole, proper wear behavior entails the possibility of obtaining an increase in the service life.

Modelo multidimensional para la construcción y desarrollo de la capacidad de innovación abierta en pymes.

“…Si bien la alta dirección tiene un rol relevante desde la estrategia de innovación abierta, se evidencia en los estudios de Lichtenthaler & Ernst (2006), 3. Se resalta la importancia de responsabilizar a colaboradores de asegurar la implementación de las nuevas herramientas, metodologías o mecanismos desde una perspectiva no lineal que permita fomentar los procesos creativos (Corăbieru et al, 2010).…”
