Kolbenschmidt Pierburg Group KS P14 Lead-free Steel/Plastics Composite

Brief description of the sliding material KS P14 is a lead-free steel/plastics composite material for applications not requiring maintenance (dry run). Its use in liquid-lubricated systems is also viable. Grease is only recommended conditionally as a lubricant in contact with KS P14. The material is produced by applying a continuous sinter impregnation method. In a purpose-adapted process, the sliding surface of bronze is sintered onto a steel carrier material, leaving a mean pore volume of about 30 %. A solid lubricant mass is impregnated into these hollows and submitted to thermal treatment. KS...

Manufacture of the sliding material Chemical composition of the solid lubricant ZnS Lifetime factor The solid lubricant mass is produced in a purpose-adapted mixing process. In parallel, bronze powder is pore-sintered onto steel in a continuous sintering process. Subsequently, impregnating rollers will feed and apply the solid lubricant. In a series of thermal process steps, the characteristic features of the integral tribological system are adjusted and then the necessary thickness accuracy of the composite is accomplished by means of controlled roller pairs. Minor alterations of the contact...
