Sliding part and method of manufacturing the same

摘要

There is provided a sliding part in which a surface coverage ratio of copper in the sliding part increases. A bearing which is the sliding part is formed by filling the raw powder into the filling portion of the forming mold, compacting the raw powder to form a powder compact, which is sintered. A copper-based raw powder is composed of a copper-based flat raw powder whose diameter is smaller than that of an iron-based raw powder and an aspect ratio larger than that of the iron-based raw powder, and a copper-based small-sized raw powder whose diameter is smaller than that of the copper-based flat raw powder. The copper is allowed to segregate at the surface of the sliding part. The surface of the bearing is covered with the copper-based small-sized raw powder and the copper-based flat raw powder, thereby the surface coverage ratio of copper can be increased.

主权项

1. A method of manufacturing a sliding part comprising:
filling an iron-based raw powder and a copper-based raw powder into a filling portion of a forming mold; vibrating the filling portion of the forming mold at the accelerating speed of between 0.01 to 3G, wherein the powders filing the forming mold are uncompressed; compacting the raw powders to form a powder compact; and sintering the powder compact, wherein the copper-based raw powder is comprised of a copper-based flat raw powder having an average diameter smaller than that of the iron-based raw powder and an aspect ratio larger than that of the iron-based raw powder; and a copper-based small-sized raw powder having an average diameter smaller than that of the copper-based flat raw powder, and wherein part of the copper-based flat raw powders is segregated on the outer side within the filling portion by applying the vibration, and the grains of the copper-based small raw powder intrude into spaces formed between the grains of the iron-based raw powder to surround the grains of the iron-based raw powder by applying the vibration.
