摘要:
The present invention relates to techniques for lowering friction between moving surfaces of, for example, an internal combustion engine. Friction reduction is achieved by adding texture modifications to surfaces that come in contact with each other. Texture modifications that reduce friction in accordance with the present invention include dimples of varying geometries and depths ion the surfaces of components. The present invention also relates to the fabrication technique for applying the textures to the surfaces. In another embodiment, the patterned soft mask is applied onto a large surface (flat or curved including cylindrical rollers surfaces) to be followed by electrochemical etching to imprint the textures onto the component. And, in another embodiment, a diamond-like-carbon (DLC) film may be applied to the turbine component to also reduce friction.

Lubrication deficiencies related to the use of synthetic lubricants such as POE oils in refrigeration compressors can be mitigated by providing a diamond-like-carbon coating on a member subject to wear due to lubrication deficiencies. Specifically, the tip of the vane of a rotary compressor is coated with a diamond-like-carbon coating made up of alternating layers of tungsten carbide and a lubricious material 0.5 to 5.0 microns thick.

The cylinder block according to the present invention is a cylinder block composed of an aluminum alloy containing silicon, the cylinder block including a cylinder wall having a slide surface. The cylinder block according to the present invention includes a plurality of silicon crystal grains on the slide surface, such that the ten point-average roughness Rz JIS of the slide surface and the load length ratio Rmr(30) of the slide surface at a cut level of 30% are larger in the upper 1/4 portion of the slide surface than in the lower 1/4 portion of the slide surface.

A refrigerant compressor comprises an electric component; and a compression component which is driven by the electric component and compresses a refrigerant. At least one of slide members included in the compression component is made of an iron-based material. An oxide coating film (150) is provided on a slide surface of the iron-based material, the oxide coating film including a first portion (151), a second portion (152), and/or a third portion (153). The first portion (151) contains at least fine crystals (155). The second portion (152) contains columnar grains (156). The third portion (153) contains layered grains (157).

A sliding structural member is provided which achieves a good low frictional property. A DLC film 2 containing hydrogen is provided on one member 11 between members sliding against each other, and the one member and a counterpart member 12 are combined in such a way that the DLC film 2 provided on the one member 11 slides against the counterpart member via a lubricant 3 to which organic molybdenum compound and compound containing zinc and sulfur are added as an additive. A root mean square roughness of a surface of the DLC film 2 is set in a range from 5 nm or more to 25 nm or less, and hydrogen content of the DLC film 2 is set in a range from 4.5 at% (atomic%) or more to 30 at% or less.
