Method Of Reducing Wear In Lubricated Metal Cutting Operation

View page
US Patent:
6485630, Nov 26, 2002
Filed:
Aug 2, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/630470
Inventors:
Arup Kumar Gangopadhyay - Novi MI
Gary C. Barber - Novi MI
Han Zhao - Rochester MI
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, Inc. - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
B23H 300
US Classification:
205640, 205674, 205682, 205684, 205686, 219 6917, 219 692
Abstract:
A method of reducing cutting tool wear in a lubricated metal cutting operation has been developed. An electrical cutting cell is provided having an anodic conductive cutting tool and a cathodic conductive work-piece connected to a DC current supply; the lubricant contains platable wear reducing agents. The lubricant is located to bathe the contacting interface between the cutting tool and work-piece to constitute an electrolyte. Next, the electrical current flow through the contacting interface is controlled to be in the range of 25-500 milli-amps. Lastly, the cutting tool is moved into and along cutting contact with the work-piece while current flows there-between to electro-chemically deposit the wear reducing agents on at least the contacting interface to reduce cutting tool wear and improve ease of mass removal.

Application Of Novel Surface Finishing Technique For Improving Rear Axle Efficiency

View page
US Patent:
20050202921, Sep 15, 2005
Filed:
Mar 9, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/708508
Inventors:
Arup Gangopadhyay - Novi MI, US
Jagadish Sorab - West Bloomfield MI, US
Michael Schroder - Northville MI, US
Sam Asaro - Whitmore Lake MI, US
Assignee:
FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F16H048/06
US Classification:
475230000
Abstract:
A super-finished rear axle gear set for a vehicle is provided for improving rear axle efficiency. The rear axle gear set includes a ring gear and a pinion gear. The super-finish is applied to at least the ring gear teeth and pinion gear teeth. The super-finish causes the teeth to be smoother, thus decreasing the coefficient of friction between the teeth when the pinion gear teeth drive the ring gear.

Powertrain Component With Adherent Amorphous Or Nanocrystalline Ceramic Coating System

View page
US Patent:
53098749, May 10, 1994
Filed:
Jan 8, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/002190
Inventors:
Pierre A. Willermet - Livonia MI
Arup K. Gangopadhyay - Novi MI
Michael A. Tamor - Toledo OH
William C. Vassell - Bloomfield MI
Assignee:
Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F01L 116
US Classification:
123 9051
Abstract:
A powertrain component (10) for use in an internal combustion engine, the powertrain component comprising a coating system including an amorphous or nanocrystalline ceramic film (30). The powertrain component (10) also includes an interlayer (42) formed between the film and the component. The interlayer (42) accommodates stresses engendered by formation of the film (30), and thereby improves adherence of the film (30) to the substrate (10). To enable engineering of desired surface properties, the film (30), the interlayer (42), or both may be provided with a graded composition profile.

Surface Finishing Covalent-Ionic Ceramics

View page
US Patent:
60508817, Apr 18, 2000
Filed:
Jul 27, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/122712
Inventors:
Richard Lawrence Allor - Livonia MI
Gary Mark Crosbie - Dearborn MI
Douglas George Mcwatt - Livonia MI
Arup Kumar Gangopadhyay - Novi MI
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, Inc. - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
B24B 100
US Classification:
451 41
Abstract:
Method of surface finishing covalent-ionic ceramics comprising: (a) repeatedly rubbing a finishing medium against an exposed surface of the ceramic, the medium being constituted of an ionic bonded oxide having grains harder than the grains of the covalent-ionic bonded ceramic; (b) interrupting the rubbing at frequent intervals to dress the medium by a single point diamond tool; and (c) continuing the repeated rubbing and dressing interruptions of steps (a) and (b) until a surface roughness of about 0. 04 micrometer Ra has been achieved on the ceramic and the exposed surface of the ceramic retains an ionic residue of the finishing medium. Also, a method of effecting reduced friction between lubricated rubbing surfaces, comprising: (a) forming one of the rubbing surfaces of silicon nitride based ceramics having a polished surface roughness about 0. 04 micrometer Ra with an ionic residue thereon resulting from finishing with an ionic-bonded oxide having grains harder than the grains of the silicon nitride ceramic; and (b) operating the silicon nitride rubbing surface against the other rubbing surface while lubricating the interface between such rubbing surfaces with oil in a mixed hydrodynamic regime, whereby the ionic residue is effective to react with additives in said lubricant oil to form a transfer film on said silicon nitride ceramic that reduces contact friction.

Powertrain Component With Adherent Film Having A Graded Composition

US Patent:
52495540, Oct 5, 1993
Filed:
Jan 8, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/002490
Inventors:
Michael A. Tamor - Toledo OH
Pierre A. Willermet - Livonia MI
William C. Vassell - Bloomfield MI
Arup K. Gangopadhyay - Novi MI
Assignee:
Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F01L 114
F01L 300
US Classification:
123 9051
Abstract:
A powertrain component (10) for use in an internal combustion engine, the powertrain component comprising a coating system including a film (30) selected from the group consisting of amorphous hydrogenated carbon, silicon-doped amorphous hydrogenated carbon, boron-, nitrogen-, boron nitride-, or metal-doped amorphous hydrogenated carbon, and mixtures thereof. The film (30) is formed on the powertrain component (10), and imparts the characteristics of low friction and wear resistance to the component. The powertrain component (10) also includes an interlayer (42) formed between the film and the component. The interlayer (42) accommodates stresses engendered by formation of the film (30), and thereby improves adherence of the film (30) to the substrate (10). To enable engineering of desired surface properties, the film (30), the interlayer (42), or both may be provided with a graded composition.
