Low friction interface coatings: Saint GobainRecent Research Landscape

Mechanical assemblies suffer from parasitic energy loss and acoustic noise due to sliding friction and vibration. Engineering the functional surface layers and radial tab interfaces stabilizes the assembly to eliminate noise-related quality defects.

What technical problems is Saint Gobain addressing in Low friction interface coatings?

Frictional vibration noise

(6)evidences

Mechanical interfaces in fasteners and shafts generate unwanted acoustic emissions and structural instability during operation. Eliminating these parasitic vibrations prevents component wear and auditory failure modes.

Frictional resistance in threaded fasteners

(1)evidences

Mechanical systems suffer from parasitic energy dissipation and surface wear at contact points. Reducing these losses extends component lifespan and improves overall system efficiency.
