Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an alumina-based ceramic sliding member having excellent hydrophilicity and low friction and low wear in the presence of water, by uniformly dispersing multiple oxide particles having an aluminate anhydride spinel crystalline structure and an almost same particle size as that of alumina to a α-alumina mother phase. SOLUTION: A metal oxide of at least one metal selected from Mg, Zn, Co, Ni, Cu, Mn, Fe and a sintering assistant are added to an alumina powder, and the mixture is compacted to obtain a compacted body. The compacted body is calcined in air at 1300 to 1600 deg.C to obtain a ceramic sliding member having high hydrophilicity and low friction. The obtd. ceramic member has uniform dispersion of multiple oxide particles 3 as a solid soln. or compd. in an α-alumina mother phase 2. The multiple oxide particles 3 contains 5 to 50 wt.% aluminate anhydride expressed by MAl2 O4 (M is Mg, Zn, Co, Ni, Cu, Mn or Fe) and has a spinel crystalline structure having an almost same particle size as that of the alumina.

As is apparent from FIG. 2, the sintered body (sample) of the present invention is formed by forming anhydrous aluminate (MAl 2 O 4 ) in alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), so that the alumina (Al 2 O 4 ) can be formed more easily than alumina alone. It was confirmed that the coefficient of friction in water was small and the water absorption was high. The reason for this is that vacancies to which the cation of the anhydrous aluminate (MAl 2 O 4 ) spinel structure compound is not coordinated exhibit polarity and strongly adsorb water.
