    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a sliding member coated with a DLC coating in which microfractures on the sliding surface thereof due to the progression of cracks are less likely to occur, and in which an increase in abrasive wear can be reduced. The present invention achieves the above-mentioned object by a sliding member having, on the outer peripheral sliding surface thereof, a DLC coating in which the amount of plastic deformation work as measured by a nanoindentation test is within a specific range.

    Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a cylinder liner or a cylinder bore, which can reduce not only friction on a sliding surface but also oil consumption. In a piston sliding direction of the cylinder bore, grooves of a second sliding region positioned on the side of crankcase have a higher groove area ratio at a depth of 0.3 μm than grooves of a first sliding region positioned on the side of combustion chamber, and the groove area ratio is in a specific range, whereby friction and oil consumption can be reduced.

    Abstract: Oil grooves (40) formed in at least one of surfaces of a ring-shaped member (30) each have a longitudinal direction that forms an angle falling within a range of from 40 degrees to 75 degrees with respect to a radial direction of the ring-shaped member, and are arranged at equal intervals in a circumferential direction of the ring-shaped member (30). The oil grooves (40) include communicating oil grooves (40A) and non-communicating oil grooves (40B) formed to extend to the vicinity of an outer peripheral end (34), and are arranged with periodic regularity in the circumferential direction of the ring-shaped member (30). In addition, a communicating oil groove area ratio expressed by Expression: “S1/(S1+S2)” falls within a range of from 0.15 to 0.85, where S1 represents a sum of plane areas of the communicating oil grooves (40A), S2 represents a sum of the non-communicating oil grooves (40B).

    Abstract: Provided is a spiny liner that may further improve bonding strength when being integrated with metal on the outer peripheral surface side. The spiny liner includes a plurality of projections including constricted projections on the surface. Denoting the number of constricted projections per 100 mm2 out of the projection by Pc, the average height of projections by h (mm), and the average of maximum thicknesses and the average of minimum thicknesses of any 20 projections out of the constricted projections by dw (mm) and dn (mm), respectively, the total value of (I) and (II) below is 1.55 or more. (I)=Pc×[(0.35 hπ/12)×(2dw2−dw×dn−dn2)] (I)=Pc×{(dn2/4)×r×0.35h}

    Abstract: A novel method for producing a porous carbon material which makes it possible to easily produce a porous carbon material having a desired shape. The method includes immersing a carbon-containing material having a desired shape and composed of a compound, alloy or non-equilibrium alloy containing carbon in a metal bath, the metal bath having a solidification point that is lower than a melting point of the carbon-containing material, the metal bath being controlled to a lower temperature than a minimum value of a liquidus temperature within a compositional fluctuation range extending from the carbon-containing material to carbon by decreasing the other non-carbon main components, to thereby selectively elute the other non-carbon main components into the metal bath while maintaining an external shape of the carbon-containing material to give a porous carbon material having microvoids.

    Abstract: In this piston ring combination, a second outer peripheral surface, which is the outer peripheral surface of a second ring, has a second protruding surface curved into a convex shape, and a pair of third outer peripheral surfaces, which are the outer peripheral surfaces of a pair of segments, each have a third outer peripheral area in which a third protruding surface is formed, the third protruding surfaces being curved into convex shapes. In at least one of the pair of third outer peripheral surfaces, the peripheral edge on a crank-chamber side is positioned farther outward in the diametrical direction than the peripheral edge on a combustion-chamber side, and a peak of the third protruding surface is positioned nearer to the crank chamber than the center of the third outer peripheral surface.
