Method of producing shoe for swash plate type compressor

摘要

A method of producing a shoe for a swash plate type compressor, the shoe being disposed between a swash plate and a piston of the swash plate type compressor and formed of an aluminum alloy, the method comprising: a main forging step of forging a blank for producing the shoe into a roughly-shaped precursor shoe; a thermal refining step of thermally refining the roughly-shaped precursor shoe; and a size-adjustment forging step of forging the roughly-shaped precursor shoe which has been thermally refined, into a size-adjusted shoe.
