摘要:
A sliding film includes a solid lubricant, a binder resin, and a low-melting-point material. The binder resin is for holding the solid lubricant on a surface of a substrate, and exhibits a glass transition temperature. The low-melting-point material exhibits a melting point lower than the glass transition temperature of the binder resin. The low-melting-point material demonstrates a latent heat which can absorb frictional heat generated between sliding members, and accordingly retards the degradation of the binder resin. As a result, the sliding film produces high seizure resistance.

The invention relates to TiAl-base alloys with excellent oxidation resistance, and a method for producing the same. The TiAl-base alloy of the invention comprises a substrate and a surface part formed on the substrate, the surface part comprising at least one element of Cr, Nb, Ta and W and having a surface condition capable of forming a dense film of an oxide of the element or Al2O3 in high-temperature oxidizing atmospheres. The method of the invention comprises heating a TiAl-base alloy material having an Al content of from 15 at. % to 55 at. % in the presence of an oxide having a smaller negative value of standard free energy of formation than that of alumina. The method of the invention provides TiAl-base alloys with excellent oxidation resistance.
摘要:
Particles of a layer-forming agent containing at least one element for forming a surface layer of e.g. a carbide on the material to be treated are disposed in a furnace below and/or at the side of the material to be treated. A fluidizing gas is introduced into the furnace below the layer-forming agent for fluidizing a powder of alumina or other refractory material to form a fluidized bed above the layer-forming agent, while the agent is not fluidized. The furnace is heated and a solid halide is supplied into the furnace below the layer-forming agent. The halide is sublimable to produce a gas which activates the element, so that it may combine with a particular element which the material to be treated contains, whereby the surface layer is formed thereon. An apparatus for forming such a surface layer is also provided.

The invention provides a method of producing an oxidation-resistant metallic part which exhibits oxidation resistance even in an oxidation atmosphere. The method includes the step of applying mechanical energy to a surface of a metallic part in the presence of particulates, and forming a protective coating in a surface of the metallic part. When the metallic part thus treated is exposed in a high temperature-oxidation atmosphere, the protective coating is oxidized to restrain the proceeding of the oxidation of the metallic part, that is the internally proceeding formation of TiO2, thus serving a remarkable improvement of the oxidation resistance.
摘要:
Surface-treating metallic parts are produced by applying mechanical energy to the surface of a metallic part and to a substance on or near the surface of the metallic part. The substance is different from the metallic part in composition. The applying step forms a mechanically-alloyed layer from the metallic part and the substance in the surface of the metallic part. The surface-modified layer such as the mechanically-alloyed layer is a non-peeling alloyed layer having a composition or structure different from that of the metallic part. The method is effective in surface-treating light metal materials of which the surfaces are difficult to treat. For example, the method is applicable to soft Mg alloys and Al alloys to improve their surface hardness, and the thus-treated alloys are usable in slide parts which are required to have good wear resistance. It is also applicable to the improvement in the oxidation resistance of Ti alloy parts which are used at high temperatures, and to the improvement in the corrosion resistance of Mg alloys which are said to have poor corrosion resistance.
