摘要:
A drive force transmission device has an outer clutch plate and an inner clutch plate, which are rotatable relative to each other about a common rotational axis. The inner and outer clutch plates become frictionally engaged with each other with lubricant oil provided in between. The outer and inner clutch plates each have a sliding surface. The sliding surfaces face each other. A diamond-like carbon film is formed on the sliding surface of the outer clutch plate. Fine grooves are formed in the sliding surface of the inner clutch plate. The proportion of the sliding area to the sliding surface of the inner clutch plate at the initial stage of use is 55 to 90%.

In an activated sludge treatment of organic waste water, excess sludge from the activated sludge aeration vessel is processed with hypochlorous acid in place of ozone without set up of aeration vessels and blowers to improve volume reduction cost of sludge without deterioration of water quality. The hypochlorous acid process is carried out by using an acidulous sodium hypochlorite aqueous solution which is prepared by mixing sodium hypochlorite aqueous solution with a dilute hydrochloric acid and diluting the resulting mixture with water within 1,000 ppm to 50,000 ppm of available chlorine concentration at a pH zone of more than 4 to less than 7.

An amorphous-carbon coated member includes a conductive substrate, and an amorphous carbon film. The amorphous carbon film is fixed onto a part of a surface of the substrate at least, and includes a compositionally gradient film. The compositionally gradient film has an outer side and a substrate side, and is composed of carbon, silicon and hydrogen. The silicon concentration inclines continuously from the lowest to the highest in the direction away from the outer side to the substrate side. The hydrogen concentration inclines continuously from the highest to the lowest in the direction away from the outer side to the substrate side. The amorphous-carbon coated member exhibits not only good wear resistance but also low aggressiveness against mating member simultaneously.

摘要:
This invention provides a covered member which possesses a high bond strength of a base material and a covering film, and has a smooth surface. The covered member comprises a base material and a covering film and the surface of the base material to be covered with the covering film is characterized by an uneven surface having projections with an average height in the range from 10 to 100 nm and an average width of not more than 300 nm. The uneven surface can be formed by ion impacting. A surface of a covering film formed on that is smooth since the unevenness of the surface is extremely fine.
摘要:
A process for ion nitriding of aluminum or an aluminum alloy and an apparatus therefor, wherein aluminum or an aluminum alloy as an article to be treated is disposed on a substrate holder provided in a sealed container. A predetermined metal having an intensive affinity for oxygen is also disposed in the vicinity of the article to be treated, and a glow discharge is operated between an electrode provided in the sealed container as an anode and the substrate holder as a cathode. The electrode may be directly provided at the sealed container itself or it may be independently provided therein. According to the process and apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to form on the surface of aluminum or an aluminum alloy an aluminum nitride layer having an intensive adhesion to a substrate thereof, high hardness and excellent wear resistance.
摘要:
Under wet sliding conditions using drivetrain system lubricating oils, a high frictional sliding member exhibiting a high friction coefficient, a favorable μ−v characteristic stably, excellent wear resistance, and low mating-member aggressiveness is provided. The present invention is a wet sliding member comprising: a substrate composed of metal, ceramics, or resin; and an amorphous hard carbon film formed integrally on a surface of the substrate, having a surface, at least a part of which is turned into a sliding surface for sliding under wet conditions, and containing at least either one of Si and N in an amount of from 1 to 50 atomic %.

An amorphous carbon film includes carbon as a major component, and silicon in an amount of from 0.1 atomic % or more to 10 atomic % or less when the entire amorphous carbon film is taken as 100 atomic %. The carbon is composed of carbon having an sp2 hybrid orbital in an amount of from 60 atomic % or more to 90 atomic % or less when the entire carbon amount is taken as 100 atomic %. Also disclosed is a process for producing the amorphous carbon film.
摘要:
A low-friction sliding member is used under a wet condition employing a lubricant, and includes a substrate having a surface, and an amorphous hard carbon film formed on the surface of the substrate for contacting slidably with a mating member. The amorphous hard carbon film includes silicon in an amount of from 1 atomic % or more to 20 atomic % or less, hydrogen in an amount of from 20 atomic % or more to 50 atomic % or less, and the balance of carbon and inevitable impurities, when the entirety is taken as 100 atomic %, and exhibits a surface roughness Rzjis of 0.8 μm or less. The low-friction sliding member exhibits reduced friction coefficients between itself and mating members, without relying on the adsorption and reaction of additives, included in lubricants, to the amorphous hard carbon films.
