摘要:
A silicon nitride powder with which a highly reliable silicon nitride with high strength and small strength and dimensional variances is obtainable is disclosed. By setting the amount of their surface acidic groups per B.E.T. surface area to not less than 0.2 .mu.eq/m.sup.2, their dispersibility in a mixing solvent is drastically improved. By using them, moldings with high density and homogeneity can be obtained, thereby enabling in turn a highly reliable sintered product of silicon nitride with high strength and small strength and dimensional variances to be easily manufactured. Besides, in the silicon nitride powder, the proportion of the silicon [Si*] belonging to SiO.sub.2, of the surface silicon [Si], which is determined by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), should be not less than 0.07 in its atomic ratio [Si*/Si] and that to silicon of the surface carbon [C] which is determined by XPS in the same way should be not more than 0.20 in its atomic ratio [C/Si].

The invention provides a method of producing sintered silicon nitrides having such strength characteristics as are sufficient to insure satisfactory reliability of the sintered silicon nitride for use in applications such as automotive engine parts and bearings. The method comprises preparing a sintering aid by blending yttrium oxide, spinel, and aluminum oxide and/or aluminum nitride together in such proportions in terms of molar ratios of metal elements that Y/(Al+Mg) is 0.23 to 0.85 and Al/Mg is 2.1 to 5.2, mixing 5.0 to 13.0% by weight of the sintering aid with 87.0 to 95.0% by weight of a silicon nitride powder having an .alpha. crystallinity of not less than 60%, and, after the resulting powder mixture is molded into shape, sintering the molded piece at temperatures of 1400 to 1650.degree. C. in a nitrogen gas atmosphere or in an inert gas atmosphere containing nitrogen gas.
摘要:
A hydrodynamic gas bearing structure can prevent the occurrence of whirl not only in high-speed rotation but also in low-speed rotation, and is capable of suppressing dispersion of a floating rotational frequency. The hydrodynamic gas bearing structure includes a shaft body (1) and a bearing body (2). A groove (11) is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft body (1). The groove (11) consists of at least two concave parts, of which the depths substantially differ from each other, which are formed serially in the circumferential direction, and which each have a circumferentially asymmetrical shape in a cross section perpendicular to the axis. A circumferential distance a is defined between the intersection point (15) of the outer circular peripheral line (Q) of the shaft body and a line (C) connecting the deepest point (14) of the groove (11) with the center (O) of the shaft body (1), and one edge (16) of the groove (11) positioned downstream with respect to an air current (P) generated during rotation in relation to the intersection point (15). This circumferential distance a is larger than the circumferential distance b between the intersection point (15) and the other edge (17) of the groove (11) positioned upstream with respect to the air current (P) in relation to the intersection point (15). The hydrodynamic gas bearing structure is employed for a rotation driving part of an optical deflection scanner.

Provided is a hydrodynamic gas bearing structure which can prevent occurrence of whirl not only in high-speed rotation but also in low-speed rotation, reduces such frequency that a floating rotational frequency in starting or stoppage of rotation increases, and is capable of shifting the floating rotational frequency to a low rotational frequency side. The hydrodynamic gas bearing structure comprises a shaft body (1) and a bearing body (2). A groove (11) is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft body (1). The groove (11) consists of at least two concave parts, whose depths substantially differ from each other, which are formed serially in the circumferential direction, and has a circumferentially asymmetrical shape in a cross section perpendicular to the axis. The circumferential distance a between the intersection point (15) of a line (C) connecting the deepest point (14) of the groove (11) and the center (O) of the shaft body (1) and the outer peripheral line (Q) of the shaft body (1) and one edge (16) of the groove (11) positioned downward an air current (P) generated in rotation in relation to the intersection point (15) is larger than the circumferential distance b between the intersection point (15) and the other edge (17) of the groove (11) positioned upstream the air current (P) in relation to the intersection point (15). The ratio (d.sub.2 /d.sub.1) of the mean depth d.sub.2 of a relatively shallow part of the groove (11) to the mean depth d.sub.1 of a relatively deep part of the groove (11) is less than 0.3. The hydrodynamic gas bearing structure is suitable for employment for a rotation driving part of a magnetic recording apparatus or a laser beam printer.

A porous metal member composed of an alloy at least containing nickel and tungsten is provided. The alloy may contain 50 to 80 wt % of nickel and 20 to 50 wt % of tungsten and may further contain 10 wt % or less of phosphorus and/or 10 wt % or less of boron. Such a porous metal member can be produced by, for example, making a porous base such as a urethane foam be electrically conductive, forming an alloy film containing nickel and tungsten, then removing the porous base from the alloy film, and subsequently reducing the alloy.
