Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a piston ring covered with a DLC coating that has excellent wear resistance and shows a low attacking property on a cylinder bore sliding surface. The problem is solved by a piston ring which is used in the presence of an engine lubricating oil and includes a DLC coating on an outer peripheral sliding surface. The DLC coating has an sp2 component ratio of 0.5 to 0.85 as determined from a TEM-EELS spectrum obtained by a combination of a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), as well as a coating hardness of 12 GPa to 26 GPa and a Young's modulus of 250 GPa or less as measured by a nanoindentation method.

Abstract: Provided is a binder that makes it possible to prepare a slurry for an electrode with use of water as a solvent and without causing alkalinization of the slurry for the electrode, even in a case where an electrode active material that is highly prone to hydrolysis is used. The binder contains: a pH adjustment functional agent which neutralizes a base in an aqueous system; and a metal-crosslinking thickening agent forming a hydrophobic gel by being crosslinked, in the aqueous system, via metal ions derived from an electrode active material.

Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a cylinder liner for insert casting, with which the bonding strength between a cylinder liner and a cylinder block can be improved by reducing voids generated on the cylinder block. The problem is solved by a cylinder liner for insert casting which includes plural projections on its outer peripheral surface and satisfies the following (i) and (ii): (i) the number of the projections is 5 to 50 per 1 cm2 on the outer peripheral surface, and (ii) when two 15.2 mm×0.03 mm lines are set in parallel with a gap of 3.8 mm therebetween at an arbitrary position on the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder liner, the total number of projections that are in contact with the two lines is 8 or less.

Abstract: An outer circumferential surface of a piston ring has a cut surface forming a notched portion between an outer circumferential end surface and a lower surface, the cut surface including a first surface between the outer circumferential end surface and a bottom portion, and a second surface between the bottom portion and the lower surface. The second surface is inclined away from a central axis of the piston ring as it extends toward a crank chamber side, an angle of inclination of the second surface with respect to the bottom portion being greater than or equal to 50° and less than or equal to 85°. When an axial width of the piston ring is h1 and a distance in an axial direction between a connecting portion between the cut surface and the outer circumferential end surface and a connecting portion between the cut surface and the lower surface is H, H/h1 is greater than or equal to 0.2 and less than or equal to 0.4.
