摘要:
A ceramic die for cutting and shaping lead frames, in which at least a working section thereof is made of a specific ceramic material having an iron and cobalt content of less than 100 ppm in total. The ceramic die can be formed in a complex shape with a high precision and has a prolonged lifetime because of its superior mechanical properties, such as high wear resistance and high strength, and less probability of adhesion of foreign matter such as solder or the lead frame material thereto. Even if the solder or lead frame material is adhered onto the die, the adhered matter can be removed through a simple procedure in a shortened time. The die is further improved by depositing a hard carbon film onto the surface of the working section.

摘要:
An industrially feasible method of grinding silicon nitride ceramics, is disclosed and provides a sufficiently smooth surface. Namely, the surface has a maximum height-roughness Rmax of 0.1 microns or less and a ten-point mean roughness Rz of 0.05 microns. Further, with this method, surface damage can be repaired while grinding. The vertical cutting feed rate of a grinding wheel into a workpiece should be within the range of 0.005-0.1 micron for each rotation of the working surface of the wheel and change linearly or stepwise. The cutting speed of the grinding wheel in a horizontal (rotational) direction should be within the range of 25 to 75 m/sec. With this arrangement, the contact pressure and grinding heat that is generated between the workpiece and the hard abrasive grains during grinding are combined. In other words, mechanical and thermal actions are combined.

摘要:
To provide sliding components each comprising a base metal and, joined thereto, a sliding face member having a sliding face of crowning profile, in particular, sliding components such as valve train parts, a cam follower and a rocker arm of an automobile engine. A sliding component having a structure comprising (1) a ceramic forming a sliding face and (2) a base metal joined together, in which the extent of crowning of the sliding face is at least 0.1 to 0.4% of the maximum length of the junction face of the ceramic. The ceramic has a four-point flexural strength of at least 50 Kg/mm as measured in accordance with the Japanese Industrial Standard R1601. The base metal is mainly steel at least the surface of which has preferably a martensite texture and has a hardness of higher than 45 in terms of H.sub.RC. The structure may have an intermediate layer of a metal or cermet. In one mode the junction of the sliding face member such as a ceramic of crowning profile is simultaneously carried out with the formation of the base metal part and in another mode the sliding face of the base metal is hardened by the heating after the junction. A sliding component whose extent of crowning is great can be provided at a lowered cost without suffering from defects such as cracking.
