<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sealing ring for enabling the reduction of the friction torque in a sliding section without impairing the sealing performance even a mating sliding member is made of non-ferrous metal materials such as aluminum alloy to contribute to the improvement in fuel consumption of a vehicle, and to provide a sealing device using the sealing ring. <P>SOLUTION: The sealing ring 9 is formed annularly with a rectangular cross section, installed in a shaft member 30 rotatably supported in a housing 20 and sliding with the housing 20 in working fluid containing a specified ash-free friction regulator. A hard carbon membrane such as DLC is formed at least at the sliding surface 14 of a mating membrane out of an inner perimeter 11, an outer perimeter 13, and both sides 12, 14 in the axial direction thereof. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
