Also the alloy may comprise less than or equal to 20 wt % of at least one element selected from V, Nb, Ta, Ti, Zr, Hf, Co or Ni, if necessary. The alloy is produced by mixing the above mentioned components and pressurizing them in an Fe matrix, then sintering the pressurized mixture at 1150.degree. C. to 1260.degree. C. for 60 min. and reheating after sintering. This alloy has wear and heat resistance and can be utilized as valve seats for internal combustion engines in automotive vehicles.
摘要:
A heat resistant and wear resistant iron-based sintered alloy for use as the material of an engine component part which is subjected to severe temperature and wear conditions. The iron-based sintered alloy is comprised of a matrix formed of metal powder having the composition of alloy steel or high speed tool steel. An additional metal component formed of hard alloy powder is dispersed in the matrix in an amount ranging from 3 to 50% by weight of the matrix. The hard alloy powder contains as major components iron, molybdenum and silicon which improve the wetting property of the hard alloy powder with the matrix and form intermetallic compounds which are high in hardness and excellent in heat and oxidation resistances.

A fuel cell stack structure is basically provided with a stack entity and at least one tie rod. The stack entity includes a plurality of solid electrolyte fuel cell units stacked together in a stacking direction. The tie rod extends through the stack entity to fasten the solid electrolyte fuel cell units so that the solid electrolyte fuel cell units are pressed against each other in the stacking direction. The tie rod has an outer cylinder, an inner shaft fitting into the outer cylinder, and a joining material disposed between the outer cylinder and the inner shaft. The joining material fastens the outer cylinder and the inner shaft together in an axial direction of the tie rod and is configured and arranged to maintain a cured state at an operating temperature.

A low-friction sliding mechanism includes first and second sliding members having respective sliding surfaces slidable relative to each other and a lubricant applied to the sliding surfaces of the first and second sliding members. At least the sliding surface of the first sliding member is made of a diamond-like carbon material, and at least the sliding surface of the second sliding member is made of either an aluminum-based alloy material, a magnesium-based alloy material or a diamond-like carbon material. The lubricant contains a base oil and at least one of an ashless fatty-ester friction modifier and an ashless aliphatic-amine friction modifier.

A gear comprised of a tooth surface and a hard carbon film formed on at least a part of the tooth surface. When the gear is used in lubricant including a specific component, a friction of a tooth surface of the gear is largely decreased, and therefore the gear performs an excellent power transmission efficiency. Further, when the gear is employed in a planetary gear mechanism or speed reducing mechanism which has a plurality of meshing portions of gears, the power transmission efficiency of the mechanism is also improved.

The invention relates to a bearing for supporting a moving member having a surface of a first arithmetical mean roughness. This bearing is made of an abrasion-resistant aluminum alloy containing 14.0-17.5 wt% of Si, 2.0-5.0 wt% of Cu, 0.1-1.0 wt% of Mg, 0.3-0.8 wt% of Mn, 0.1-0.3 wt% of Cr, 0.05-0.20 wt% of Ti, 0.003-0.05 wt% of P, not greater than 1.5 wt% of Fe, less than 0.005 wt% of Ca, and aluminum as a remainder. The aluminum alloy contains silicon primary crystals, and first and second intermetallic compounds. Each of the silicon primary crystals and these intermetallic compounds has an average particle diameter from 8 to 30 .mu.m. The silicon primary crystals and the first and second intermetallic compounds respectively have first, second and third fractions each ranging from 5 to 40 .mu.m in particle diameter. The total area of the first, second and third fractions on a two-dimensional section of the alloy is from 5 to 10% by area, based on the total area of the section. The bearing has a surface having a second arithmetical mean roughness which is greater than the first one and is from 0.3 to 3.0 .mu.m. The bearing is superior in abrasion resistance, seizure resistance and running-in characteristic, and is capable of reducing abrasion even if used under a condition of inferior lubrication.
