摘要:
The copper alloy contains: 6 - 15 wt% Ni; 1 - 5 wt% Si; 1 - 5 wt% (total) Mo, W, Ta, Nb, and/or V. The alloy may also contain 0.5 - 1.5 wt% Fe, 1 - 5 wt% Cr, 0.5 - 0.9 wt% Al, and 0.1 - 1.0 wt% P, which are obligatory when Ni is above 9 wt%. The alloy may also contain 1 - 10 wt% Mn and 0.01 to 0.1 wt% rare earth metal. A valve seat (2) is formed by build-up cladding by irradiating a laser beam on a powder (4) of the copper alloy, provided in the rim of a port (3) formed in an engine cylinder head (1). Due to the composition of the copper alloy, the valve seat (2) has few microcracks and excellent abrasion resistance.

A low-friction sliding member in a transmission is at least one of sliding members which are in slidable contact with each other in presence of a transmission oil composition. The low-friction sliding member includes a base material having a sliding section. A hard carbon thin film is coated at a sliding surface of the sliding section of the base material. The hard carbon thin film contains hydrogen in an amount not more than 20 atomic %. The transmission oil composition contains at least one of organic oxygen-containing compound and aliphatic amine compound.

A chain drive system includes a drive sprocket, a driven sprocket and a chain looped over the drive sprocket and the driven sprocket. The chain and the sprocket having respective sliding surfaces slidable relative to each other in the presence of lubricating oil, and any adjacent chain components of the chain having respective sliding surfaces slidable relative to each other in the presence of lubricating oil. At least one of the sliding surfaces between the chain and the sprocket and at least one of the sliding surfaces between any adjacent chain components have hard carbon coatings formed on base portions thereof. Each of the hard carbon coatings has a hydrogen content of 10 atomic% or less.

An engine piston-pin sliding structure includes a piston pin slidably engaged into a pin boss of an engine piston and having a base and a hard carbon coating formed on the base so as to define a sliding surface slidable over a bearing surface of the pin boss and a lubricant interposed between the sliding surface of the piston pin and the bearing surface of the pin boss. The hard carbon coating contains 25 atomic% or less of hydrogen, and the lubricant contains at least one of an ashless fatty-ester friction modifier and an ashless aliphatic-amine friction modifier.
摘要:
A traction drive rotary assembly including a plurality of rolling elements (3,5,6) having traction contact surfaces (3a,5a,6a) associating with each other to transmit power between the rolling elements. At least one of the traction contact surfaces has a surface microstructure including grooves and protrusions alternately arranged. The surface microstructure is represented by an unfiltered primary profile curve including recesses and projections corresponding to the grooves and the protrusions. Each projection includes a portion located higher than a center line (c) of the unfiltered primary profile curve and having a shape selected from a generally trapezoidal shape with rounded corners, a generally crowning shape, a generally elliptic arc shape, a generally sinusoidal shape and a generally triangular shape with a rounded apex. A ratio λ/AMP of a wavelength λ of the unfiltered primary profile curve to a half depth AMP of the recess is in a range of 50-400.
