Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A slide part has a surface structure in which there are at least two periodic structures among a first periodic structure with a period of 10 nm to 100 nm inclusive and a depth of 5 nm to 50 nm inclusive, a second periodic structure with a period of 100 nm to 1000 nm inclusive and a depth of 20 nm to 500 nm inclusive, and a third periodic structure with a period of 1000 nm to 10000 nm inclusive and a depth of 100 nm to 3000 nm inclusive, in which one of the at least two periodic structures is formed on the other periodic structure.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A slide part comprising a surface structure in which a second periodic structure with a period of 100 nm to 1000 nm inclusive and a depth of 20 nm to 500 nm inclusive is formed on a third periodic structure with a period of 1000 nm to 10000 nm inclusive and a depth of 100 nm to 3000 nm inclusive, wherein at least one of the second periodic structure and the third periodic structure is a ripple structure. 2. The slide part according to claim 1 , wherein the surface structure is resistant to occurrence of transfer particles according to adhesion of a workpiece to the slide part during processing in a lubricated environment. 3. The slide part according to claim 1 , wherein the ripple structure of the at least one of the second periodic structure and the third periodic structure is a linearly-extending ripple structure having lines extending in a direction orthogonal to a slide direction of the slide part. 4. The slide part according to claim 2 , wherein the ripple structure of the at least one of the second periodic structure and the third periodic structure is a linearly-extending ripple structure having lines extending in a direction orthogonal to a slide direction of the slide part. 5. The slide part according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the second periodic structure and the third periodic structure is formed by irradiation of a gas cluster ion beam. 6. The slide part according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one of the second periodic structure and the third periodic structure is formed by irradiation of a gas cluster ion beam. 7. The slide part according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one of the second periodic structure and the third periodic structure is formed by irradiation of a gas cluster ion beam. 8. The slide part according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one of the second periodic structure and the third periodic structure is formed by irradiation of a gas cluster ion beam. 9. The slide part according to claim 1 , wherein the surface structure is formed on at least an edge of the slide part. 10. The slide part according to claim 2 , wherein the surface structure is formed on at least an edge of the slide part. 11. The slide part according to claim 3 , wherein the surface structure is formed on at least an edge of the slide part. 12. The slide part according to claim 4 , wherein the surface structure is formed on at least an edge of the slide part. 13. The slide part according to claim 5 , wherein the surface structure is formed on at least an edge of the slide part. 14. The slide part according to claim 6 , wherein the surface structure is formed on at least an edge of the slide part. 15. The slide part according to claim 7 , wherein the surface structure is formed on at least an edge of the slide part. 16. The slide part according to claim 8 , wherein the surface structure is formed on at least an edge of the slide part.
