SLIDING MEMBER AND SLIDING MACHINE
Abstract:
The sliding member according to the present invention includes: a base material; and a sliding film that covers a surface of the base material and constitutes a sliding surface, and is used under a wet condition where lubricant oil exists. The sliding film according to the present invention is a laminated film that includes: an underlying layer formed on the surface of the base material; and an outermost layer formed at least on a part of the underlying layer. This outermost layer is characterized by including specific boron-containing amorphous carbon (specific B-DLC) that contains 4-50% B and 5-50% H when the outermost layer as a whole is 100 at %. This specific B-DLC itself wears away during the sliding to smooth the sliding surface, and an excellent low friction property is exhibited. The underlying layer of the specific B-DLC contributes to improvement in the wear resistance property of the sliding film.
