Abstract (en)

The friction part is coated on part or on the whole of its surface with a layer comprising at least a metal oxide having a stoichiometric deficiency of metal cations and selected from Co1-yO, Cr2-yO, Fe3-yO4 and Mn1-yO, where y is greater than 0.00001 and less than 0.15. Preferably, y = 0.0001-0.01 for Co1-yO and Cr2-yO; y = 0.001-0.03 for Fe3-yO4; and y = 0.00001-0.1 for Mn1-yO. The metal oxide layer is preferably homogeneous and has thickness of 5-1000 microns , preferably 10-200 microns . The layer containing the metal oxide can comprise a metal or ceramic matrix of thickness 5-1000 microns , preferably 10-100 microns , and containing 5-70 weight %, preferably 10-40 weight %, tribo-active particles of at least one metal oxide having a deficiency of metal cations. Preferably, the tribo-active particles have mean size of 0.3-30 microns , more preferably 0.5-5 microns . Matrix metal is selected from iron, nickel, nickel-phosphorus, chromium, cobalt, tungsten, molybdenum, and alloy of these metals, iron-aluminum, brass (CuZn) or bronze (CuSn). Matrix ceramic is selected from Al2O3, ZrO2, Cr2O3, TiO2 or a mixture of these ceramics. Independent claims are given for: (a) a friction part concerning a cam following, a camshaft, a piston pin, a piston ring, a cylinder liner, a valve guide, a valve rod, a synchronizing cone, or an oil pump gear; and (b) production of the friction part by thermal spraying of powders of the components of the layer on the base of the friction part, or electroplating for composites having a metal matrix of nickel, nickel-phosphorus or chromium.
