Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A sliding member includes a carbon transfer layer and can superiorly effectively decrease friction and reduce wear. A method produces the sliding member. The sliding member includes a substrate and a carbon transfer layer. The carbon transfer layer is disposed on the surface of the substrate and includes both sp 2 bonded carbon and sp 3 bonded carbon. The carbon transfer layer preferably has a ratio sp 3 /(sp 2 +sp 3 ) of the sp 3 bonded carbon to the totality of the sp 2 bonded carbon and the sp 3 bonded carbon of 0.1 or more.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A sliding member comprising: a substrate; and a carbon transfer layer being disposed on a surface of the substrate and including sp 2 bonded carbon, sp 3 bonded carbon, and iron and giving a G band appearing at 1570 to 1640 cm −1 in a Raman spectrum obtained by Raman spectroscopic analysis using a 532-nm measurement light source. 2. The sliding member according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon transfer layer has a ratio sp 3 /(sp 2 +sp 3 ) of 0.1 or more, where the ratio sp 3 /(sp 2 +sp 3 ) is a ratio of the sp 3 bonded carbon to the totality of the sp 2 bonded carbon and the sp 3 bonded carbon. 3. The sliding member according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon transfer layer gives a D band appearing at 1300 to 1400 cm −1 in a Raman spectrum obtained by Raman spectroscopic analysis using a 532-nm measurement light source. 4. The sliding member according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon transfer layer has a thickness of 100 to 1000 nm. 5. The sliding member according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon transfer layer has a ratio sp 3 /(sp 2 +sp 3 ) of 0.5 or more, where the ratio sp 3 /(sp 2 +sp 3 ) is a ratio of the sp 3 bonded carbon to the totality of the sp 2 bonded carbon and the sp 3 bonded carbon. 6. The sliding member according to claim 3 , wherein the carbon transfer layer has a ratio sp 3 /(sp 2 +sp 3 ) of 0.5 or more, where the ratio sp 3 /(sp 2 +sp 3 ) is a ratio of the sp 3 bonded carbon to the totality of the sp 2 bonded carbon and the sp 3 bonded carbon. 7. The sliding member according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon transfer layer has a ratio sp 3 /(sp 2 +sp 3 ) of 0.5 or more and less than 0.98, where the ratio sp 3 /(sp 2 +sp 3 ) is a ratio of the sp 3 bonded carbon to the totality of the sp 2 bonded carbon and the sp 3 bonded carbon. 8. The sliding member according to claim 3 , wherein the carbon transfer layer has a ratio sp 3 /(sp 2 +sp 3 ) of 0.5 or more and less than 0.98, where the ratio sp 3 /(sp 2 +sp 3 ) is a ratio of the sp 3 bonded carbon to the totality of the sp 2 bonded carbon and the sp 3 bonded carbon. 9. The sliding member according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon transfer layer has a thickness of 300 to 600 nm. 10. The sliding member according to claim 5 , wherein the carbon transfer layer has a thickness of 100 to 1000 nm. 11. The sliding member according to claim 7 , wherein the carbon transfer layer has a thickness of 100 to 1000 nm. 12. The sliding member according to claim 8 , wherein the carbon transfer layer has a thickness of 100 to 1000 nm. 13. The sliding member according to claim 5 , wherein the carbon transfer layer has a thickness of 300 to 600 nm. 14. The sliding member according to claim 7 , wherein the carbon transfer layer has a thickness of 300 to 600 nm. 15. The sliding member according to claim 8 , wherein the carbon transfer layer has a thickness of 300 to 600 nm. 16. The sliding member according to claim 3 , wherein an intensity of the D band is greater than an intensity of the G band.
