Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a sliding member in which an amorphous hard carbon film is coated on a sliding surface, and is particularly used for automobile parts, machine parts, and the like, and examples thereof include a piston ring.
- a piston ring in which an amorphous hard carbon film having a low friction coefficient is coated on a sliding surface is applied to some engines.
- the amorphous hard carbon film is also referred to as a DLC (diamond like carbon) film (or simply a hard carbon film).
- the amorphous hard carbon film is a mixture of diamond bonds (sp 3 bonds) and graphite bonds (sp 2 bonds) as carbon bonds.
- Amorphous hard carbon film has hardness, wear resistance and chemical stability similar to diamond, and has solid lubricity and low friction coefficient similar to graphite, so it is suitable as a protective film for sliding members It is.
- Patent Document 1 relates to a piston ring having a hard carbon film formed on at least an outer peripheral sliding surface of a piston ring base material.
- This hard carbon film has an sp 2 component ratio in the range of 40% or more and 80% or less, a hydrogen content in the range of 0.1 atomic% or more and 5 atomic% or less, and the amount of macro particles appearing on the surface.
- the area ratio is in the range of 0.1% to 10%.
- the piston ring having the above-described structure is easy to form a film and is excellent in wear resistance.
- the component ratio of "sp 2 component ratio" graphite component of the hard carbon film in Patent Document 1 (sp 2) and graphite component to the diamond component (sp 3) (sp 2) (sp 2 / (sp 2 + sp 3) ) And is measured by a TEM-EELS spectrum in which an electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) is combined with a transmission electron microscope (TEM) (see paragraphs [0054]-[0056] of Patent Document 1).
- an amorphous hard carbon film substantially free of hydrogen (for example, a hydrogen content of less than 5 atomic%) can be formed to a film thickness of about 30 ⁇ m by adjusting the film formation conditions.
- a film having a high sp 3 ratio has a large residual stress due to film formation, and if the film is thick, adhesion to the base material is insufficient and peeling is likely to occur.
- a relatively soft film with a reduced sp 3 ratio has a problem that peeling is likely to occur due to wear due to sliding under high surface pressure or plastic deformation of the base material.
- the hard carbon film is easily peeled off from the base material (piston ring base material) even if the sp 2 component ratio of the hard carbon film is within the range of 40 to 80% as in the piston ring described in Patent Document 1.
- a film having a relatively low sp 2 component ratio (relatively hard film) is formed thick, adhesion to the base material is not sufficient, while a film having a relatively high sp 2 component ratio (relatively soft film).
- the amorphous hard carbon film has the following two essential properties, and due to these properties, low adhesion to the base material has a great practical application. It is an obstacle. (1) A large residual stress is inherent due to film formation. (2) The carbon bond is chemically stable.
- the present disclosure aims to provide a sliding member and a piston ring that can sufficiently prevent the amorphous hard carbon film from being peeled off from the base material and have sufficiently high wear resistance.
- the sliding member of the present disclosure includes a base material and an amorphous hard carbon film formed on the surface of the base material, and the amorphous hard carbon film is directed from the inner surface side which is the base material side to the outer surface side. Accordingly, it has a gradient structure in which the sp 2 ratio increases. According to the study by the present inventors, such an inclined structure is useful for achieving both excellent peeling resistance and wear resistance at a sufficiently high level. That is, in the amorphous hard carbon film (hereinafter referred to as “coating” in some cases) of the sliding member, the relatively low sp 2 ratio on the base material side means that the amorphous hard carbon near the base material. This means that the film is relatively strong.

Since there is a risk of cracking due to surface pressure, the sp 2 ratio should be higher on the surface layer side. As the wear of the coating proceeds with use, the surface pressure gradually decreases, so the sp 2 ratio may be lower toward the inner surface side than the outer surface side. That is, as the wear of the coating proceeds with the use of the piston ring, a region having a low sp 2 ratio (relatively hard region) is exposed on the surface due to the above-described inclined structure of the coating. In a state where this relatively hard region is exposed, the surface pressure of the piston ring is usually lower than the initial one, and for example, cracks due to local high surface pressure as described above tend not to occur.

Abstract
Description
(1)成膜に起因して大きな残留応力が内在すること。
(2)炭素結合が化学的に安定であること。
図1は本実施形態に係る摺動部材の構造を模式的に示す断面図である。同図に示すとおり、摺動部材10は、母材1と、母材1の表面上に形成された非晶質硬質炭素膜3と、母材1と非晶質硬質炭素膜3との間に形成された中間層5とを備える。すなわち、摺動部材10は、母材1の表面上に中間層5を介して非晶質硬質炭素膜3を形成することによって製造されたものである。
図1に示す非晶質硬質炭素膜3の断面において濃淡はsp2比を表しており、具体的にはsp2比が低い部分は薄く、他方sp2比が高い部分は濃く表されている。つまり、非晶質硬質炭素膜3は、母材1側である内面F1側から外面F2側に向かうにしたがってsp2比が増加する傾斜構造を有する。
母材1としては、摺動部材10の用途に応じて適した材料を採用すればよい。摺動部材10に対して高い熱伝導性が求められる場合、例えば図1に示す構成のピストンリングを製造する場合、母材1として熱伝導率が30W/(m・K)以上の材料(例えば鉄鋼材料)を採用することが好ましい。母材1の熱伝導率はより好ましくは35W/(m・K)以上であり、更に好ましくは38W/(m・K)以上である。ピストンリングは、ピストンとシリンダ壁との気密を保つガスシール機能及び適正な潤滑油膜をシリンダ壁に保持するオイルコントロール機能に加えて、ピストン頂部に受けた熱量を冷却されたシリンダ壁に伝達する重要な機能を有している。
中間層5は、母材1と非晶質硬質炭素膜3との密着性を更に向上させるためのものである。中間層5としては、母材1の金属と格子整合性があり、かつ母材1の金属よりも非晶質硬質炭素膜3の炭素と炭化物を形成しやすい元素から構成されるものが好ましい。具体的には、中間層5はTi、Cr、Si、Co、V、Mo及びWからなる群から選択される少なくとも一種の金属又はその金属炭化物からなることが好ましい。また、摺動部材10が高面圧などの厳しい環境で使用されるものである場合、中間層5はTi、Zr、Cr、Si、及びVからなる群から選択される少なくとも一種の金属の窒化物からなることが好ましい。この場合、非晶質硬質炭素膜3が摩滅するようなことが生じても、中間層5の存在により摺動特性を維持することが可能となる。
非晶質硬質炭素膜3は、例えば、蒸発源にグラファイトカソードを備えたアークイオンプレーティング装置を用いて形成することができる。この装置によれば、真空雰囲気中、グラファイトカソードとアノードとの間で真空アーク放電を発生させ、炭素カソード表面から炭素材料を蒸発、イオン化し、負のバイアス電圧を印加した母材(非晶質硬質炭素膜が形成される前の摺動部材)の摺動面上に炭素イオンを堆積させる工程を経て非晶質硬質炭素膜3が形成される。

成膜時間の経過にしたがってバイアス電圧を連続的に変化させることなく、バイアス電圧を一定に保った状態で非晶質硬質炭素膜を形成したことの他は実施例1と同様にしてピストンリングを製造した。
硬質炭素被膜のsp2比の膜厚方向のプロファイルを以下のようにして評価した。すなわち、非晶質硬質炭素膜の断面を透過型電子顕微鏡(TEM)で観察しながら、非晶質硬質炭素膜の内面側から外面側に向けて約2μm間隔でsp2比を測定した。表1の内面近傍は、中間層との界面から非晶質炭素膜内に約0.2μmにおけるsp2比の測定値である。なお、中間層を形成しない場合には、内面近傍は、基材との界面から非晶質炭素膜内に約0.2μmにおけるsp2比の測定値とすればよい。外面近傍は、表面から非晶質炭素膜内に約0.2μmにおけるsp2比の測定値である。sp2比は電子エネルギー損失分光法(EELS)によって得られるスペクトルに基づいて算出した。
(1)エネルギー損失スペクトルは240eV以下から550eV以上までの領域において、データを取得する。
(2)エネルギー損失が320eV以上のデータについて、近似曲線を算出する。
(3)得られた近似曲線に基づいて観測値を規格化する。
(4)規格化されたデータを用いて、280~295eVの範囲において、Gauss関数を用いてピーク分離を行い、低エネルギー側のピーク面積を求め、その値をSπとする。
(5)規格化されたデータにおいて、280~310eVの面積を算出し、Sπ+σとする。
(6)同様に、ダイヤモンド及びグラファイトの試料について、上記(1)~(5)までの手順で観測し、285eV付近のピークの面積及び280~310eVの面積をそれぞれ算出する。ダイヤモンドについて得られた面積をSdπ及びSd(π+σ)とし、グラファイトについては、Sgπ及びSg(π+σ)とする。そして、sp2比は下記の式で算出される。
非晶質硬質炭素膜の水素含有量をラザフォード後方散乱分光法(RBS)及び水素前方散乱分光法(HFS)によって求めた。水素含有量は非晶質硬質炭素膜の外面側を測定した。測定装置として、CEA社製RBSを使用し、測定条件は以下のとおりとした。

往復摺動試験によって耐剥離性を評価した。試験装置として、図6に示す構成のものを使用した。図6に示すFC(鋳鉄)プレート21はシリンダに相当するものであり、治具(不図示)に固定されたピストンリング片22が潤滑油23の存在下、FCプレート21上をピストンリング片22の厚さ方向(図6の左右方向)に往復動するように構成されている。なお、FCプレート(21)として、研磨加工により表面粗さRzjisを1.1μmに調整したものを使用した。ピストンリングを長さ約30mmに切断することによってピストンリング片(22)を準備した。試験条件は、垂直加重(F)500N、600N、700N、800N又は900N、ストローク3mm、速度3000rpm、プレート温度120℃、エンジン油0W-20を3滴滴下した潤滑下とし、試験時間は30分とした。非晶質硬質炭素膜の耐剥離性の評価は図7に示す試験後のピストンリング片22に生じた楕円形状の摺動部24の周辺部分における剥離の有無を目視により観察することによって行った。また、耐摩耗性の評価を実施例1の摩耗量(垂直荷重:500N)を基準として評価した。
