  • the sliding layer is formed by the following procedure.
  • a phenol resin is applied to a predetermined thickness as a base resin of the sliding layer on the porous metal powder sintered layer of the backing material.
  • a woven fabric is disposed thereon as a base material for the sliding layer, and the phenolic resin is heated and cured to form a sliding layer and to bond the sliding layer to the porous metal powder sintered layer.

Description) Fabricated by twill or satin weaving fibers.
  • a woven fabric requires at least a process of making a twisted yarn from a fiber and a process of weaving a fabric from the twisted yarn, which increase the manufacturing cost.
  • PTFE fiber is relatively expensive and excellent in lubricity, but due to its properties, it has poor adhesion to thermosetting resins such as phenol resins used as the base resin. Therefore, in the sliding bearing described in Patent Document 1, a woven fabric obtained by interweaving a PTFE fiber with a PA fiber having high adhesion to a thermosetting resin is used as the base material of the sliding layer. Is also relatively expensive.
  • the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a sliding member that can realize good sliding characteristics over a long period of time at low cost.

  • the nonwoven fabric is preferably made of inexpensive polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter referred to as PET) fiber.
  • Non-woven fabrics are produced by bonding or entanglement of fibers, and it is not necessary to create a twisted yarn from the fibers and weave the fabric. Therefore, the manufacturing cost is lower than that of the woven fabric. Further, when the woven fabric is used as the base material, the base resin cannot easily penetrate into the center of the twisted yarn constituting the woven fabric, and thus the base resin and the base material cannot be firmly bonded. In contrast, non-woven fabrics have no stitches and the fibers are evenly dispersed, so that the base resin is entangled with each fiber, which improves the adhesion between the base material and the base resin, and wear resistance. And sliding properties such as durability are improved.

In particular, when both the high molecular weight PTFE and the low molecular weight PTFE are contained in the base resin, the wear amount is reduced as compared with the case where either the high molecular weight PTFE or the low molecular weight PTFE is contained in the base resin.

Since a nonwoven fabric is produced by bonding or intertwining fibers, the manufacturing cost is lower than that of a woven fabric in which a twisted yarn needs to be created from the fibers and woven into a fabric. Further, since the nonwoven fabric has no stitches and fibers are uniformly dispersed, the surface of the sliding layer 20 after cutting can be made smoother than that of the woven fabric. For this reason, it becomes easy to obtain good lubrication by the fluid, and the sliding characteristics of the sliding member 1 having the sliding layer 20 are improved.

Description

摺動部材Sliding member
 本発明は、滑り軸受、滑り板、スラストワッシャー等に好適な摺動部材に関する。 The present invention relates to a sliding member suitable for a sliding bearing, a sliding plate, a thrust washer and the like.
 特許文献1には、高荷重での使用に対して長期に亘り無給油で低摩擦を実現可能な滑り軸受が開示されている。 Patent Document 1 discloses a sliding bearing capable of realizing low friction without lubrication for a long period of time when used under a high load.
 この滑り軸受は、表面に多孔質金属粉末焼結層が形成された金属板をバッキング材として、このバッキング材の多孔質金属粉末焼結層上に摺動層を形成することにより構成される。ここで、摺動層は、以下の手順により形成される。 This sliding bearing is constituted by forming a sliding layer on the porous metal powder sintered layer of the backing material using a metal plate having a porous metal powder sintered layer formed on the surface as a backing material. Here, the sliding layer is formed by the following procedure.
 すなわち、バッキング材の多孔質金属粉末焼結層上に、摺動層のベース樹脂としてフェノール樹脂を所定の厚さに塗布する。その上に摺動層の基材として織布を配置して、フェノール樹脂を加熱硬化させることにより、摺動層を形成するとともに、この摺動層と多孔質金属粉末焼結層とを結合させる。ここで、織布は、潤滑性樹脂繊維であるポリテトラフルオロエチレン(以下、PTFEと記載)繊維と、ベース樹脂であるフェノール樹脂との接着性の高い強化樹脂繊維であるポリアミド(以下、PAと記載)繊維とを、綾織りまたは朱子織りすることで作製される。 That is, a phenol resin is applied to a predetermined thickness as a base resin of the sliding layer on the porous metal powder sintered layer of the backing material. A woven fabric is disposed thereon as a base material for the sliding layer, and the phenolic resin is heated and cured to form a sliding layer and to bond the sliding layer to the porous metal powder sintered layer. . Here, the woven fabric is a polyamide (hereinafter referred to as PA) which is a reinforced resin fiber having high adhesion between polytetrafluoroethylene (hereinafter referred to as PTFE) fiber which is a lubricating resin fiber and a phenol resin which is a base resin.

 ところで、織布は、少なくとも完成するまでに、繊維から撚り糸を作る工程、および撚り糸から布地を織る工程が必要であり、製造コストが嵩む。 By the way, a woven fabric requires at least a process of making a twisted yarn from a fiber and a process of weaving a fabric from the twisted yarn, which increase the manufacturing cost.
 また、PTFE繊維は、比較的高価であるとともに、潤滑性には優れるが、その特性ゆえベース樹脂として使用されるフェノール樹脂等の熱硬化性樹脂との接着性が劣っている。そこで、特許文献1に記載の滑り軸受では、摺動層の基材として、熱硬化性樹脂との接着性が高いPA繊維をPTFE繊維に織り交ぜた織布を用いているが、このPA繊維も比較的高価である。 Also, PTFE fiber is relatively expensive and excellent in lubricity, but due to its properties, it has poor adhesion to thermosetting resins such as phenol resins used as the base resin. Therefore, in the sliding bearing described in Patent Document 1, a woven fabric obtained by interweaving a PTFE fiber with a PA fiber having high adhesion to a thermosetting resin is used as the base material of the sliding layer. Is also relatively expensive.
 このように、特許文献1に記載の滑り軸受は、摺動層の基材の製造コストが嵩むため、安価に作製することができない。 Thus, the sliding bearing described in Patent Document 1 cannot be manufactured at low cost because the manufacturing cost of the base material of the sliding layer increases.
 本発明は上記事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、長期に亘り良好な摺動特性を実現可能な摺動部材を安価に提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a sliding member that can realize good sliding characteristics over a long period of time at low cost.
 上記課題を解決するために、本発明では、摺動部材の摺動層を構成する基材として不織布を用いるとともに、この摺動層のベース樹脂として分子量の異なるPTFEを含有したものを用いた。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a nonwoven fabric is used as a base material constituting the sliding layer of the sliding member, and a base resin containing different molecular weights is used as the base resin of the sliding layer.
 ここで、不織布は、摺動部材の製造方法によっては、繊維同士を熱で溶かして接着するサーマルボンド法、繊維同士をバインダ(ケミカルボンド)で接着するバインダ法等で作製された接着タイプ等、摺動部材の製造工程において加えられるテンションに耐える強度を有するものであることが好ましい。また、サーマルボンド法で作製された不織布を用いる場合には、繊維同士の融着点がフィルム化していないものを用いることが好ましい。 Here, depending on the manufacturing method of the sliding member, the nonwoven fabric is a thermal bond method in which the fibers are bonded together by heat, an adhesive type produced by a binder method in which the fibers are bonded with a binder (chemical bond), etc. It is preferable to have a strength that can withstand tension applied in the manufacturing process of the sliding member. Moreover, when using the nonwoven fabric produced by the thermal bond method, it is preferable to use the thing in which the fusion | melting point of fibers is not made into a film.
 繊維同士の融着点がフィルム化しているものは、融着点が平滑になっているため、基材である不織布のベース樹脂への密着性が低下し、剥離しやすくなり、耐摩耗性、耐久性等の摺動特性が低下する可能性がある。したがって、繊維同士の融着点がフィルム化していない不織布を用いることによって、基材とベース樹脂とのアンカー効果が高くなり、ベース樹脂が基材から剥離するのを防止することができ、耐摩耗性、耐久性等の摺動特性が向上する。また、不織布は、安価なポリエチレンテレフタレート(以下、PETと記載)繊維で作製することが好ましい。 In the case where the fusion point between fibers is made into a film, since the fusion point is smooth, the adhesion to the base resin of the nonwoven fabric that is the base material is lowered, it becomes easy to peel off, wear resistance, The sliding characteristics such as durability may be deteriorated. Therefore, by using a nonwoven fabric in which the fusion point between the fibers is not formed into a film, the anchor effect between the base material and the base resin is enhanced, and the base resin can be prevented from peeling off from the base material, and wear resistance Sliding properties such as durability and durability are improved. The nonwoven fabric is preferably made of inexpensive polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter referred to as PET) fiber.
 不織布は、繊維同士を接着あるいは絡合させることにより作製され、繊維から撚り糸を作成して布地を織る必要がないため、織布に比べて製造コストが安い。また、織布を基材として用いた場合は、ベース樹脂が、織布を構成する撚り糸の中心にまで浸み込みにくいため、ベース樹脂と基材を強固に接着することができない。これに対して不織布は、編み目がなく、繊維が均一に分散しているため、繊維の一本一本にベース樹脂が絡むことで、基材とベース樹脂との接着性が向上し、耐摩耗性ならびに耐久性等の摺動特性が向上する。さらに織布を用いた場合のように、切削加工後に撚り糸の毛羽立ちが発生しないため、摺動部材の表面をより平滑にすることができるので、流体による良好な潤滑が得られやすくなり、水中環境下等の液体中における摺動特性も向上する。これらの効果は、不織布の融着点がフィルム化していないものを用いることにより、より顕著なものとなる。また、本発明者は、摺動部材の摺動層を構成するベース樹脂に分子量の異なるPTFEを含有させることにより、耐摩耗性が向上することを見出した。特に、ベース樹脂に高分子量PTFEおよび低分子量PTFEの両方を含有させることにより、ベース樹脂に高分子量PTFEおよび低分子量PTFEの一方を含有させた場合に比べて摩耗量が減少して、良好な摺動特性を得ることができた。したがって、本発明によれば、摺動部材の摺動層を構成する基材として不織布を用いるとともに、摺動部材の摺動層を構成するベース樹脂として分子量の異なるPTFEを含有したものを用いることにより、長期に亘り低摩擦特性、耐摩耗性、耐久性の向上等の良好な摺動特性を実現可能な摺動部材を安価に提供できる。 Non-woven fabrics are produced by bonding or entanglement of fibers, and it is not necessary to create a twisted yarn from the fibers and weave the fabric. Therefore, the manufacturing cost is lower than that of the woven fabric. Further, when the woven fabric is used as the base material, the base resin cannot easily penetrate into the center of the twisted yarn constituting the woven fabric, and thus the base resin and the base material cannot be firmly bonded. In contrast, non-woven fabrics have no stitches and the fibers are evenly dispersed, so that the base resin is entangled with each fiber, which improves the adhesion between the base material and the base resin, and wear resistance. And sliding properties such as durability are improved. In addition, unlike the case of using a woven fabric, since the fuzz of the twisted yarn does not occur after the cutting process, the surface of the sliding member can be made smoother. The sliding property in the lower liquid is also improved. These effects become more prominent by using a non-woven fabric fusion point that is not formed into a film. Further, the present inventor has found that the wear resistance is improved by adding PTFE having different molecular weights to the base resin constituting the sliding layer of the sliding member. In particular, when both the high molecular weight PTFE and the low molecular weight PTFE are contained in the base resin, the wear amount is reduced as compared with the case where either the high molecular weight PTFE or the low molecular weight PTFE is contained in the base resin. The dynamic characteristics could be obtained. Therefore, according to the present invention, a non-woven fabric is used as a base material constituting the sliding layer of the sliding member, and a base resin containing PTFE having a different molecular weight is used as the base resin constituting the sliding layer of the sliding member. Thus, a sliding member capable of realizing good sliding characteristics such as low friction characteristics, wear resistance, and improved durability over a long period of time can be provided at low cost.

 以下に、本発明の一実施の形態について説明する。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
 図1は、本実施の形態に係る摺動部材1の断面構造を模式的に示した図である。 FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing a cross-sectional structure of the sliding member 1 according to the present embodiment.
 図示するように、本実施の形態に係る摺動部材1は、ガラス繊維を基材とする樹脂板、金属板等のバッキング材21と、バッキング材21上に形成された摺動層20と、を備える。ここでは、四層のプリプレグ22(図3参照)から形成された摺動層20を模式的に示しているが、実際には、これらの摺動層20は、摺動部材1の製造における加熱硬化処理により、一体となって一つの摺動層を構成する。なお、摺動層20は、少なくとも一層のプリプレグ22から形成されたものであればよい。 As shown in the drawing, the sliding member 1 according to the present embodiment includes a backing material 21 such as a resin plate or a metal plate made of glass fiber, and a sliding layer 20 formed on the backing material 21. Is provided. Here, the sliding layer 20 formed from four layers of the prepreg 22 (see FIG. 3) is schematically shown. However, actually, these sliding layers 20 are heated in the manufacture of the sliding member 1. One sliding layer is integrally formed by the curing process. In addition, the sliding layer 20 should just be formed from the prepreg 22 of at least one layer.
 図2は、摺動部材1の摺動層20の断面構造を模式的に示した図である。 FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing a cross-sectional structure of the sliding layer 20 of the sliding member 1.
 図示するように、摺動層20は、シート状の基材2と、基材2に含浸されたベース樹脂3と、を備えて構成される。 As shown in the figure, the sliding layer 20 includes a sheet-like base material 2 and a base resin 3 impregnated in the base material 2.
 基材2には不織布が用いられる。不織布は、繊維同士を接着あるいは絡合させることにより作製されるため、繊維から撚り糸を作成して布地に織る必要がある織布に比べて製造コストが安い。また、不織布は、編み目がなく、繊維が均一に分散しているため、織布に比べて、切削加工後の摺動層20の表面をより平滑にすることができる。このため、流体による良好な潤滑が得られやすくなり、摺動層20を有する摺動部材1の摺動特性が向上する。また、織布を基材2に用いた場合は、織布を構成する撚り糸の中心にまでベース樹脂3が浸み込まない可能性があるが、繊維が均一に分散している不織布を基材2に用いた場合では、基材2とベース樹脂3との接触面積を大きくすることができ、これにより、基材2とベース樹脂3との接着性を向上させることができる。 Non-woven fabric is used for the substrate 2. Since a nonwoven fabric is produced by bonding or intertwining fibers, the manufacturing cost is lower than that of a woven fabric in which a twisted yarn needs to be created from the fibers and woven into a fabric. Further, since the nonwoven fabric has no stitches and fibers are uniformly dispersed, the surface of the sliding layer 20 after cutting can be made smoother than that of the woven fabric. For this reason, it becomes easy to obtain good lubrication by the fluid, and the sliding characteristics of the sliding member 1 having the sliding layer 20 are improved. When the woven fabric is used as the base material 2, the base resin 3 may not penetrate into the center of the twisted yarn constituting the woven fabric, but the non-woven fabric in which the fibers are uniformly dispersed is used. When used for 2, the contact area between the base material 2 and the base resin 3 can be increased, whereby the adhesion between the base material 2 and the base resin 3 can be improved.
 ここで、基材2に用いる不織布は、摺動部材の製造方法によっては、例えば、繊維同士を熱で溶かして接着するサーマルボンド法、繊維同士をバインダ(ケミカルボンド)で接着するバインダ法等で作製された接着タイプ等の、後述する摺動層20の形成に用いられるプリプレグ22の製造工程において与えられる強いテンションに耐える強度を有するものであることが好ましい。繊維同士を高圧水流で絡合させるスパンレース法、繊維同士をニードリングして絡合させるニードルパンチ法等で作製された絡合タイプの不織布を用いた場合よりも、プリプレグ22の製造工程において与えられるテンションの強さによって繊維同士の絡みがほどける可能性を低減することができる。 Here, the nonwoven fabric used for the base material 2 may be, for example, a thermal bond method in which fibers are melted and bonded by heat, a binder method in which fibers are bonded by a binder (chemical bond), or the like, depending on the manufacturing method of the sliding member. It is preferable that the adhesive type has a strength that can withstand strong tension applied in the manufacturing process of the prepreg 22 used for forming the sliding layer 20 described later. It is given in the manufacturing process of the prepreg 22 as compared with the case of using a non-woven fabric produced by a spunlace method in which fibers are entangled with a high-pressure water flow, a needle punch method in which fibers are entangled and entangled with each other. The possibility of untangling of the fibers can be reduced depending on the strength of the applied tension.
 また、基材2として、サーマルボンド法で作製された不織布を用いる場合には、繊維同士の融着点がフィルム化していないものを用いることが好ましい。繊維同士の融着点がフィルム化していない不織布を基材2に用いることにより、基材2全体において繊維とベース樹脂3とのアンカー効果が良好に発揮され、密着性が向上することにより、基材2からのベース樹脂3の剥離を防止することができる。 Moreover, when using the nonwoven fabric produced by the thermal bond method as the base material 2, it is preferable to use a material in which the fusion point between the fibers is not formed into a film. By using, as the base material 2, a non-woven fabric in which the fusion point between the fibers is not formed into a film, the anchor effect between the fiber and the base resin 3 is satisfactorily exhibited in the whole base material 2, and the adhesion is improved. Peeling of the base resin 3 from the material 2 can be prevented.
 また、基材2に用いる不織布には、安価なPET繊維を用いた。 In addition, an inexpensive PET fiber was used for the nonwoven fabric used for the substrate 2.
 ベース樹脂3には、PET繊維との親和性の高い熱硬化性樹脂、特にフェノール樹脂が好適である。また、ベース樹脂3には、分子量の異なるPTFEを含有させている。後述するように、本発明者は、ベース樹脂3に分子量の異なるPTFEを含有させることにより、耐摩耗性が向上することを見出した。特に、分子量200万以上のPTFEである高分子量PTFEおよび分子量100万未満のPTFEである低分子量PTFEの両方をベース樹脂3に含有させることにより、これらのPTFEの一方をベース樹脂3に含有させた場合に比べて、摩耗量が減少して、良好な摺動特性を得ることができた。 The base resin 3 is preferably a thermosetting resin having a high affinity for PET fibers, particularly a phenol resin. The base resin 3 contains PTFE having different molecular weights. As will be described later, the present inventor has found that wear resistance is improved by adding PTFE having a different molecular weight to the base resin 3. In particular, the base resin 3 contains both high molecular weight PTFE, which is PTFE having a molecular weight of 2 million or more, and low molecular weight PTFE, which is PTFE having a molecular weight of less than 1 million, in the base resin 3. Compared to the case, the amount of wear was reduced, and good sliding characteristics could be obtained.
 なお、ベース樹脂3に含有させるPTFEは、ベース樹脂3に対する分散性のよい焼成粉であることが好ましい。上述したように、基材2には、PET繊維からなる不織布が用いられるが、PET繊維は、PTFE繊維に比べて潤滑性が劣る。そこで、ベース樹脂3に、PTFE繊維に比べて安価でベース樹脂に対する分散性のよいPTFE焼成粉を、摺動部材1に要求される潤滑性能に応じて添加することにより、摺動部材1の潤滑性を改善することができる。このようなPTFE焼成粉のうち、高分子量PTFE焼成粉として、株式会社喜多村製のフッ素樹脂潤滑用添加剤KT-300M(分子量1000万程度)等がある。また、低分子量PTFE焼成粉として、株式会社喜多村製のフッ素樹脂潤滑用添加剤KTL-2N(分子量10万程度)等がある。 The PTFE contained in the base resin 3 is preferably a calcined powder having good dispersibility with respect to the base resin 3. As described above, a non-woven fabric made of PET fibers is used for the base material 2, but the PET fibers are inferior in lubricity compared to PTFE fibers. Therefore, the sliding member 1 is lubricated by adding to the base resin 3 PTFE calcined powder that is less expensive than PTFE fibers and has good dispersibility in the base resin in accordance with the lubricating performance required for the sliding member 1. Can improve sex. Among such PTFE calcined powders, as a high molecular weight PTFE calcined powder, there is a fluorine resin lubricating additive KT-300M (molecular weight of about 10 million) manufactured by Kitamura Co., Ltd. Further, as a low molecular weight PTFE calcined powder, there is a fluorine resin lubricating additive KTL-2N (molecular weight of about 100,000) manufactured by Kitamura Co., Ltd.
 ここで、ベース樹脂3に、分子量の異なるPTFEに加えて、グラファイトあるいはグラファイトおよびシリカを含有させてもよい。後述するように、本発明者は、ベース樹脂3に、分子量の異なるPTFEに加えてグラファイトを含有させることにより、水中における耐摩耗性が向上することを見出した。また、本発明者は、ベース樹脂3に、分子量の異なるPTFEに加えて、グラファイトおよびシリカを含有させることにより、大気中および水中の両環境下における耐摩耗性が向上することを見出した。ベース樹脂3に含有させるグラファイトとして、日本黒鉛工業株式会社製の鱗状黒鉛粉J-ACP、土状黒鉛粉AOP等がある。また、ベース樹脂3に含有させるシリカとして、株式会社アドマテックス製の高純度合成球状シリカSO-C1等がある。 Here, in addition to PTFE having different molecular weights, the base resin 3 may contain graphite or graphite and silica. As will be described later, the present inventor has found that the abrasion resistance in water is improved by adding graphite to the base resin 3 in addition to PTFE having different molecular weights.

 図3は、摺動部材1の摺動層20の形成に用いられるプリプレグ22の製造工程の一例を説明するための図である。 FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an example of a manufacturing process of the prepreg 22 used for forming the sliding layer 20 of the sliding member 1.
 まず、分子量の異なる2種類のPTFE(高分子量PTFEおよび低分子量PTFE)をフェノール樹脂に添加して、ベース樹脂3を構成する樹脂液4を調製し、これを液槽5に供給する(S1)。樹脂液4を構成する各成分の配合比率は、例えば、フェノール樹脂100重量部に対して、高分子量PTFE25~62.5重量部、低分子量PTFE25~62.5重量部、界面活性剤0.01~0.03重量部、メタノール20重量部である。 First, two types of PTFE having different molecular weights (high molecular weight PTFE and low molecular weight PTFE) are added to a phenol resin to prepare a resin liquid 4 constituting the base resin 3, and this is supplied to the liquid tank 5 (S1). . The blending ratio of each component constituting the resin liquid 4 is, for example, 25 to 62.5 parts by weight of high molecular weight PTFE, 25 to 62.5 parts by weight of low molecular weight PTFE, and 0.01% of surfactant relative to 100 parts by weight of the phenol resin. 0.03 parts by weight and 20 parts by weight of methanol.
 つぎに、基材2となるPET繊維からなる不織布を不織布ロール6から引き出して液槽5に送り、この液槽5内の樹脂液4に浸すことにより、不織布に樹脂液4を含浸する(S2)。それから、樹脂液4を含浸した不織布を、100~130℃程度に保たれた乾燥炉7に送り、溶剤であるメタノールを蒸発させ乾燥させるとともに、フェノール樹脂の反応を進め、半硬化状態とする。これにより、例えば、基材2が10~50重量部、ベース樹脂3が50~90重量部となるように、摺動部材1の摺動層20を形成するための成形用中間材料であるプリプレグ22を作製する(S3)。そして、作製したプリプレグ22をロールで巻き取る(S4)。 Next, the nonwoven fabric made of PET fibers as the base material 2 is pulled out from the nonwoven fabric roll 6 and sent to the liquid tank 5 and immersed in the resin liquid 4 in the liquid tank 5 to impregnate the nonwoven fabric with the resin liquid 4 (S2). ). Then, the nonwoven fabric impregnated with the resin liquid 4 is sent to a drying furnace 7 maintained at about 100 to 130 ° C. to evaporate methanol as a solvent and dry it, and the reaction of the phenol resin is advanced to a semi-cured state. Thus, for example, a prepreg which is an intermediate material for forming the sliding layer 20 of the sliding member 1 so that the base material 2 is 10 to 50 parts by weight and the base resin 3 is 50 to 90 parts by weight. 22 is produced (S3). And the produced prepreg 22 is wound up with a roll (S4).
 こうして得られたプリプレグ22を、ロールド成形により100~160℃で加熱加圧しながら鉄心で巻き取り、さらに、鉄心に巻き取られたプリプレグ22の外側にバッキング材21となる部材を巻く。そして、硬化炉において130~180℃で加熱硬化処理した後、鉄心を引き抜くことにより、円筒状の摺動部材1を作製する(ロールド成形方法)。あるいは、プリプレグ22を、適当な寸法に裁断し、バッキング材21となる部材上に複数枚重ね合わせる。そして、130~180℃で加熱圧縮成形することにより、プレート状の摺動部材1を作製する(圧縮成形方法)。ここで、バッキング材21となる部材として、金属板、表面に多孔質金属粉末焼結層が形成された金属板、有機繊維強化熱硬化性樹脂プリプレグ、または無機繊維強化熱硬化性樹脂プリプレグ等が用いられる。 The prepreg 22 thus obtained is wound up with an iron core while being heated and pressed at 100 to 160 ° C. by roll forming, and a member to be a backing material 21 is wound around the prepreg 22 wound around the iron core. Then, after heat-curing at 130 to 180 ° C. in a curing furnace, the iron core is pulled out to produce the cylindrical sliding member 1 (rolled molding method). Alternatively, the prepreg 22 is cut into an appropriate size, and a plurality of prepregs 22 are overlapped on the member to be the backing material 21. Then, the plate-shaped sliding member 1 is produced by heat compression molding at 130 to 180 ° C. (compression molding method). Here, as a member to be the backing material 21, a metal plate, a metal plate having a porous metal powder sintered layer formed on the surface, an organic fiber reinforced thermosetting resin prepreg, an inorganic fiber reinforced thermosetting resin prepreg, or the like is used. Used.

 以上のことから、本発明者は、基材2に不織布を用いることにより、基材2に織布を用いた場合に比べて基材2とベース樹脂3の接着強度を向上させることができ、これにより、耐摩耗性を向上させることができることを見出した。 From the above, the present inventor can improve the adhesive strength between the base material 2 and the base resin 3 by using a non-woven fabric for the base material 2 as compared with the case where a woven fabric is used for the base material 2.

It has been found that the wearability can be improved.
 以上、本発明の実施の形態を説明した。 The embodiment of the present invention has been described above.
 不織布は、繊維同士を接着あるいは絡合させることにより作製されるため、繊維から撚り糸を作成して布地に織る必要がある織布に比べて製造コストが安い。 Non-woven fabrics are produced by bonding or entanglement of fibers, so that the manufacturing cost is lower than that of woven fabrics in which a twisted yarn must be created from the fibers and woven into the fabric.
 また、織布を基材として用いた場合は、ベース樹脂が、織布を構成する撚り糸の中心にまで浸み込みにくいため、ベース樹脂と基材を強固に接着することができない。これに対して不織布は、編み目がなく、繊維が均一に分散しているため、繊維の一本一本にベース樹脂が絡むことで、基材とベース樹脂との接着性が向上し、耐摩耗性、耐久性等の摺動特性が向上する。さらに織布を用いた場合のように、切削加工後に撚り糸の毛羽立ちが発生しないため、摺動部材の表面をより平滑にすることができるため、流体による良好な潤滑が得られやすくなり、水中環境下等の液体中における摺動特性も向上する。これらの効果は、不織布の融着点がフィルム化していなものを用いることにより、より顕著なものとなる。 In addition, when the woven fabric is used as the base material, the base resin cannot easily penetrate to the center of the twisted yarn constituting the woven fabric, and thus the base resin and the base material cannot be firmly bonded. In contrast, non-woven fabrics have no stitches and the fibers are evenly dispersed, so that the base resin is entangled with each fiber, which improves the adhesion between the base material and the base resin, and wear resistance. Sliding properties such as durability and durability are improved. In addition, unlike the case of using a woven fabric, since the fuzz of the twisted yarn does not occur after the cutting process, the surface of the sliding member can be made smoother. The sliding property in the lower liquid is also improved. These effects become more prominent by using a non-woven fabric fusion point that is not formed into a film.
 したがって、本実施の形態によれば、摺動部材の摺動層を構成する基材として不織布を用いることにより、織布を用いた場合に比べて、長期に亘り低摩擦特性、耐摩耗性、耐久性の向上等の良好な摺動特性を実現可能な摺動部材を、より安価に提供できる。 Therefore, according to the present embodiment, by using a non-woven fabric as the base material constituting the sliding layer of the sliding member, compared with the case of using a woven fabric, low friction characteristics, wear resistance, A sliding member capable of realizing good sliding characteristics such as improved durability can be provided at a lower cost.
 また、本実施の形態において、サーマルボンド法、バインダ法等で作製された接着タイプの不織布を基材2に用いた場合、スパンレース法、ニードルパンチ法等で作製された絡合タイプの不織布と異なり、プリプレグ22の製造工程において、基材2に加えられるテンションにより繊維同士の絡みがほどけてしまう可能性が少ない。このため、プリプレグ22の製造工程における歩留りを向上させることができる。 In the present embodiment, when an adhesive type nonwoven fabric produced by a thermal bond method, a binder method or the like is used for the substrate 2, an entangled type nonwoven fabric produced by a spunlace method, a needle punch method or the like Unlikely, in the manufacturing process of the prepreg 22, there is little possibility that the fibers are untangled by the tension applied to the base material 2. For this reason, the yield in the manufacturing process of the prepreg 22 can be improved.
 また、本実施の形態において、繊維同士の融着点がフィルム化していないサーマルボンド法で作製された不織布を基材2に用いた場合、繊維同士の融着点がフィルム化しているサーマルボンド法で作製された不織布を基材2に用いた場合に比べて、ベース樹脂3とのアンカー効果が高くなることにより密着力が向上し、これにより、ベース樹脂3が基材2から剥離する可能性を低くして、摺動部材1の長寿命化を図ることができる。 Moreover, in this Embodiment, when the nonwoven fabric produced by the thermal bond method in which the fusion | melting point of fibers is not formed into a film is used for the base material 2, the thermal bond method in which the fusion point of fibers is formed into a film Compared with the case where the non-woven fabric produced in step 1 is used for the base material 2, the anchoring effect with the base resin 3 is enhanced, thereby improving the adhesion, and the base resin 3 may be peeled off from the base material 2. Thus, the life of the sliding member 1 can be extended.
 また、本実施の形態において、摺動部材1の摺動層20を構成する基材2として、PET繊維からなる不織布を用いている。PET繊維は、PTFE繊維に比べて安価であり、また、ベース樹脂3として用いたフェノール樹脂との親和性が高いので、PA繊維等を混在させる必要もない。このため、不織布をより安価に作製することが可能となり、摺動部材1のコストをさらに低減させることができる。 Further, in the present embodiment, a non-woven fabric made of PET fiber is used as the base material 2 constituting the sliding layer 20 of the sliding member 1. The PET fiber is less expensive than the PTFE fiber and has high affinity with the phenol resin used as the base resin 3, so that it is not necessary to mix PA fiber or the like. For this reason, it becomes possible to produce a nonwoven fabric more cheaply, and the cost of the sliding member 1 can further be reduced.
 また、本実施の形態によれば、摺動部材1の摺動層20を構成するベース樹脂3に分子量の異なるPTFEを含有させることにより、耐摩耗性を向上させることができた。特に、ベース樹脂に高分子量PTFEおよび低分子量PTFEの両方を含有させることにより、ベース樹脂に高分子量PTFEおよび低分子量PTFEの一方を含有させた場合に比べて、良好な摺動特性を得ることができた。なお、本実施の形態では、ベース樹脂3に含有させるPTFEとしてPTFE焼成粉を用いているが、焼成粉以外のPTFEを用いてもよい。本発明者は、ベース樹脂3に含有させるPTFEとして、ファインパウダーあるいはモールディングパウダーを用いた場合においても、高分子量PTFEおよび低分子量PTFEの両方を含有させることにより、ベース樹脂に高分子量PTFEおよび低分子量PTFEの一方を含有させた場合に比べて、良好な摺動特性を得ることができることを確認した。 Further, according to the present embodiment, the wear resistance can be improved by adding PTFE having different molecular weights to the base resin 3 constituting the sliding layer 20 of the sliding member 1. In particular, by incorporating both high molecular weight PTFE and low molecular weight PTFE into the base resin, it is possible to obtain better sliding characteristics than when the base resin contains one of high molecular weight PTFE and low molecular weight PTFE. did it. In the present embodiment, PTFE fired powder is used as the PTFE contained in the base resin 3, but PTFE other than the fired powder may be used. In the case where fine powder or molding powder is used as the PTFE to be contained in the base resin 3, the present inventor makes both the high molecular weight PTFE and the low molecular weight in the base resin by containing both the high molecular weight PTFE and the low molecular weight PTFE. It was confirmed that better sliding characteristics can be obtained as compared with the case where one of PTFE is contained.
 また、本実施の形態によれば、摺動部材1の摺動層20を構成するベース樹脂3にグラファイトを含有させることにより、水中における耐摩耗性を向上させることができた。さらに、摺動部材1のベース樹脂3にグラファイトおよびシリカを含有させることにより、大気中および水中の両環境下における耐摩耗性を向上させることができた。 Further, according to the present embodiment, it was possible to improve the wear resistance in water by adding graphite to the base resin 3 constituting the sliding layer 20 of the sliding member 1. Furthermore, by including graphite and silica in the base resin 3 of the sliding member 1, it was possible to improve the wear resistance in both atmospheric and underwater environments.
 なお、本実施の形態では、バッキング材21と、バッキング材21上に形成された摺動層20と、を備える摺動部材1を例にとり説明したが、本発明は、バッキング材21を有しない摺動層20のみからなる摺動部材にも同様に適用可能である。 In the present embodiment, the sliding member 1 including the backing material 21 and the sliding layer 20 formed on the backing material 21 has been described as an example. However, the present invention does not include the backing material 21. The present invention can be similarly applied to a sliding member including only the sliding layer 20.
