Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve closely contact performance and wear resistance, by coating a relatively large amount of metal chromium at portion near a base material of a piston ring, and coating a relative large amount of chromium nitride on a sliding surface of the piston ring. CONSTITUTION:A water-cooled copper crucible 6 containing a metal 5 as an evaporation source is located below a base material 1. Electron beam emitted from an electron gun 8 is collected and irradiated onto the metal 5 of the evaporation source. Then, pressure is reduced, and the metal 5 is heated to be evaporated. The evaporated metal 5 is deposited on the base material 1 to form a base layer having a predetermined thickness. Thereafter, a nitrogen gas is introduced into a vacuum vessel 4 to react the nitrogen gas with the evaporated metal 5 and form a film of metal nitride onto the base material 1. Accordingly, a relatively large amount of chromium nitride is coated on an outer peripheral sliding surface of the piston ring, and a relatively large amount of metal chromium is coated on a portion near the base material 1, thus improving closely contact performance and wear resistance.

(Prior Art and Problems) Hard chrome plating, which has excellent wear resistance and causes less wear on the mating cylinder material, has been widely used as a surface treatment method for piston rings. However, in recent years, with the increase in engine output and performance, the conditions required for piston rings have become increasingly severe, and conventional hard chrome plating may not be able to meet the requirements. A piston ring with seizure resistance has been desired.

In response to such demands, piston rings have been proposed in which a coating of metal nitride, metal carbide, or the like is formed on the sliding surface by the ion blating method. Among these, chromium nitride has recently begun to attract particular attention because it forms a film at a fast rate and thick films can be obtained in a short time. but,
Since the chromium nitride film itself is hard, it lacks flexibility and has problems such as the risk of peeling during operation.

(Means for Solving the Problems) This invention has a composite film made of metallic chromium and chromium nitride formed on the outer peripheral sliding surface of a piston ring, and the composite film is transferred from the piston ring base material to the composite film surface. The above-mentioned problems have been solved by providing a piston ring characterized by a significantly increased proportion of chromium nitride.

(Function) The chromium nitride layer of the present invention can be obtained by a reactive ion blasting method using chromium as an evaporator in a reduced pressure atmosphere in the presence of nitrogen gas. When such ion blating is performed in a nitrogen gas atmosphere, chromium gas reacts with nitrogen to become chromium nitride.

When ion blasting is performed before introducing nitrogen gas into the vacuum chamber, a base layer of metallic chromium is formed on the piston ring base material. This base layer has a coefficient of thermal expansion of 1-
Because it is close to the ring base material and is less affected by thermal stress,
It has good adhesion and is also highly flexible. When the underlayer reaches a predetermined thickness, nitrogen gas is gradually introduced and ion blasting is continued, and a portion of the evaporated chromium is converted to chromium nitride. Table 1 shows the relationship between the structure and hardness of the film formed when ion blasting was performed at a base material temperature of 400° C. and various nitrogen gas partial pressures.

It can be seen that when the partial pressure of nitrogen gas is low, the conversion rate is small, and as the partial pressure of nitrogen gas gradually increases, metallic chromium disappears and becomes chromium nitride, which increases the hardness.
