AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The "Revised Nucleated Plating" process was designed to improve the bonding and flexibility of plating. It does this by eliminating a diffusion zone, which helps to make the plating more durable and better able to handle shock impacts on bearings. The text also discusses the process of how the plating takes place, which can further enhance the overall quality of the plating.

Problems solved by technology

In the realm of rebuilding bearing surface for high speed applications, i.e. jet turbines, the industry has admitted to an inordinate amount of plating failures.
These failures can and have led to catastrophic failures.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]With the cost associated with the purchase of new equipment in commercial and military applications rising constantly, the Acquisition Specialists are always looking for cost cutting; this has led to the rebuilding of worn units.

[0016]A major hurdle has always been the bearing races, the higher the load, rpm and vibration, the more app of the rebuilt bearing race to fail.

[0017]With this being a very real problem in gas turbines leading to catastrophic ground sky interdiction with helicopters, some companies are shying away from rebuilds.

[0018]After extended Q & A and much research and addition discussions we began looking at the process by which the plating takes place.

[0019]With all of the variables conspiring to derail the plating process, i.e. impurities in the 2 metals, dirty air in the plating room where the process is being done, dirty or worn out chemicals, not to mention the attitude of the operator, impurities that are inherit in most metal causing the “Kirkendall Eff...

Abstract

Better bonding of the plating materials, thru the elimination of the diffusion zone.

Description

[0001]In the business of metal plating, relating to the rebuilding of bearing components, many techniques have come and gone. Any of these processes can be used with our nucleated plating. We enhance whatever you do for your application.[0002]We've discovered that by adjustment in the pre and post bake process, we can eliminate the diffusion zone, thereby enhancing the bonding of the rebuild. Do to the various properties of all the metals used in commercial, military and aerospace applications the numbers vary drastically. Although our process is unique in end of itself, testing would be endless. The proper numbers for the pre and post bake process can only be determined when both metals are known.[0003]For the purpose of this specification dialogue we can say 300° to 500° on the prebake and 550°−800° post bake.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]In the realm of rebuilding bearing surface for high speed applications, i.e. jet turbines, the industry has admitted to an inordinate amount ...
