をもったちのが得られていないのが現状である。[Prior Art] Hiramic materials are used in cutting tools, etc., and have high rigidity and strength, but have poor lubricity and cause significant damage to mating members. In the case of a composite ion material such as a brake friction material, there is an example of using a material in which a hard ceramic phase and a relatively soft matrix metal such as an aluminum alloy are evenly blended to the core. In addition, there are still not many practical examples of aluminum matrix composite materials combined with lolamic substances, but silicon carbide (SIC), alumina (A120
By compounding ceramic particles or short fibers such as 3) into an aluminum alloy, a high-rigidity, high-strength aluminum structure can be obtained, and attempts are being made to apply it to engine parts, etc. In these engine parts, such as pistons, connecting rods, valve lifters, etc., high rigidity and high strength are required for the core portion, and wear resistance and self-lubricating properties are required for the outermost surface portion. Therefore, there are examples in which heat-resistant solid lubricants are uniformly dispersed in the matrix metal, but the lubricity of the surface portion is insufficient. In addition, attempts have been made to apply nickel-iron plating or thermal spraying of molybdenum to the surface of the aluminum composite material in order to impart wear resistance, lubricity, and damage resistance to the surface area, but sufficient lubricity has also been achieved. The current situation is that we are not able to obtain the desired results.

There is a disclosure of a wear-resistant member having an aluminum alloy as a matrix.

There is a desire for an aluminum-based composite material that has good wear resistance and less damage to mating members. Based on this background, we investigated various aluminum alloy a'ti with a hard reinforcing member in the core and a self-lubricating layer on the surface. An aluminum-based composite material obtained by applying a lubricating substance to the LC to form a preform body with LC voids, and then infiltrating the voids with aluminum-based metal by injecting and pressurizing the infiltration of aluminum-based metal. They found that it has excellent properties and high rigidity, and completed the manufacturing method of the present invention. The present invention provides an inexpensive method for manufacturing an aluminum-based composite material having lubricity, which has a ceramic reinforcement in its core and an aluminum-based metal layer containing a lubricating substance on its surface.

する。[Means for Solving the Problems 1] The method for manufacturing an aluminum-based composite material having lubricity according to the present invention includes a preform body in which a ceramic short fiber aggregate is pressure-molded to form a preform body having voids. body forming step, a coating step D in which a lubricating substance is applied to at least a portion of the surface of the preform body, dried, and the lubricating substance is interposed in the surface portion; a casting process of fixing the preform body in a mold, injecting and pressurizing aluminum-based metal infiltration to impregnate the voids of the preform body with aluminum-based metal to form an aluminum-based composite material; The present invention is characterized by obtaining an aluminum-based composite material having an aluminum-based metal containing a lubricant on its surface.

Composed of glass, metal oxide, metal nitride, and metal carbide short fibers, among which are alumina fiber, silica fiber, glass fiber, silicon nitride fiber, and silicon carbide fiber, which have excellent rigidity and strength.
At least one type of short fiber of carbon-N fiber is used. In order to improve the strength of the aluminum-based composite material, the prene l-6 body preferably has a volume fraction of 5 to 40 vf%. If the volume fraction exceeds 40 vf%, the injection of molten aluminum metal will be insufficient, making it difficult to form an aluminum composite material, which is not preferable. Moreover, if the volume fraction is less than 5 vf%, the preform becomes a dense and dense material, and the resulting aluminum composite material lacks strength, which is not preferable.

This application can be applied by conventional brushing or spraying. Preferably, the coated preform is dried at a temperature below 1 o o'c.

。Solvent additives and the like are scattered during this drying process. Further, a part of the binding resin is scattered during injection of the molten metal, and the remaining part forms a layer of a lubricating substance having voids. Aluminum metal is injected into this gap to form an aluminum layer with lubricating properties.

料となる。In the casting process, the preform body on which the lubricating material layer with voids is formed is fixed in a predetermined casting mold, and the molten aluminum or aluminum alloy that constitutes the matrix is injected and pressurized to fill the voids. This is a process of uniformly filling a preform in which a lubricant material layer with voids is formed on the surface portion that has lubrication. The filled molded body is machined into a predetermined shape if necessary. Since this molded body contains a lubricating substance and an aluminum-based metal matrix on the surface thereof, it becomes an aluminum-based composite material with sufficient lubricity without surface treatment.

ることが好ましい。Further, the aluminum-based metal portion formed on the lubricating material layer due to the draft of the casting mold during casting is removed by ordinary machining. Therefore, the sliding surface is an aluminum-based composite material having a surface portion in which a lubricating substance is mixed in an aluminum matrix. It is important that the aluminum matrix layer completely covers the preform of the reinforcing ceramic short fiber aggregate in order to impart wear resistance to the surface area having the lubricating substance. It is undesirable to have a highly rigid reinforcing material on the surface of the composite material because it may cause damage to the other material. Therefore, the coating film of the lubricating substance is preferably applied to a thickness that sufficiently covers the preform.

The preform body 3 was uniformly filled with an aluminum alloy forming a thickness of 71 to 60 cm by pressurizing the aluminum alloy at a pressure of /cm2. Figure 3 shows the cast material obtained by solidification. This cast material is composed of a composite phase 4 of an aluminum alloy and prefun-6 bodies of ceramic short 4II fiber aggregates, a composite phase 5 of a lubricating substance and an aluminum alloy, and a phase 6 of only an aluminum alloy. Become. This phase 6 consisting only of aluminum alloy was formed due to the draft angle of the casting mold, and this portion was removed by machining. The obtained casting material was cut to a predetermined size to form a valve lifter 7 (shown in FIG. 4), and the following tests were conducted.
