    Abstract: A piston unit adapted to reciprocate in a cylinder includes a piston and a top land member attached to the piston. The piston includes a first portion including a piston end at one end surface side and fitted with the top land member. The first portion has a smaller outer diameter than a second portion such that there is a step therebetween. The second portion is the other portion of the piston than the first portion. The top land member has a groove wall forming surface opposed to a step surface that connects the outer circumferential surface of the first portion and the outer circumferential surface of the second portion. The first ring groove is defined by the groove wall forming surface, the step surface, and the outer circumferential surface of the first portion.

    Abstract: An oil control ring comprises: an oil ring having a pair of land parts arranged in a sliding direction and connected to each other by a web part; and a coil expander that biases the oil ring toward the outer circumferential side in the radial direction. The web part of the oil ring is provided with a plurality of window holes. In the axial cross-sectional view of the largest opening portion of the window hole in the axial direction of the oil ring, a width H1 in the sliding direction of the oil ring and a length L1 of a combustion chamber-side non-window hole part, which excludes the window hole, in the outer circumferential surface of the web part, satisfy the condition of 0.15>L1/H1≥0.

    Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a CrN coating film which has excellent peeling resistance such that peeling thereof starting at a crack is unlikely to occur even in a more severe lubrication environment. The problem is solved by a CrN coating film which has a preferred orientation of 200 as determined by XRD, and in which the X-ray diffraction intensity ratio of the (200) plane with respect to the (111) plane, (200)/(111), is 5.5 or higher, and the ratio of crystal grains of 1 μm or smaller is 85% or higher in a crystal grain size distribution measured by an EBSD analysis.

    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: A cooling device (21) includes radiation thermometers (51 to 55), a plurality of nozzle parts, a plurality of electromagnetic valves (V1 to V5), and a control device (60). The radiation thermometers detect pre-cooling temperatures that are temperatures at a plurality of places on the mold before cooling water is sprayed from the plurality of nozzle parts to the mold. The control device individually sets a cooling time to each of the plurality of places on the mold based on a deviation between the pre-cooling temperature at the place on the mold and a target temperature and controls the electromagnetic valves based on the cooling times individually set to the plurality of respective places on the mold.
