US 2025/0096704 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD TO REDUCE FRICTION BETWEEN MATERIALS IN CONTACT

Abstract

An invented component, manufacturing system and process for manufacturing the invented component is described. Two components that will interact with each other to create friction between the components will have a layer of relatively higher electronegative material located beneath the surfaces of the components. The layer of relatively higher electronegative material within each component will have suitable properties and substance to reduce the ability of the components to create temporary dipoles at the contacting surfaces of the two components thereby reducing friction between the two components.

Dependent claims

A component comprising:

a body;
the body having an outside surface layer;
the outside surface layer being comprised of a material that has an electronegative characteristic and can create friction when interfacing with a surface of another component;
and
a layer of electronegative material within said body;
the layer being situated close to the outside surface layer to interact with said outside surface layer;
wherein said electronegative material has an electronegative characteristic that is higher than the electronegative characteristic of said outside surface layer.
