Abstract

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a cylinder liner or a cylinder bore that makes it possible to reduce friction on a sliding surface and reduce oil consumption. In a piston sliding direction of a cylinder bore, the groove part of a second sliding area positioned on a crank side has a higher groove area ratio at a depth of 0.3 μm than a groove part of a first sliding area positioned on a combustion room side and falls within a specific range to thereby make it possible to reduce friction and reduce oil consumption.

Once the heat treatment causes the first component to be diffused on the metal material 12 side and the third component to be diffused on the metal body 11 side, parts other than a part mainly comprising the second component are selectively removed from the parts in which the first component and/or the second component are diffused and a member having micro-gaps is obtained.

Abstract

[Problem] To provide: a method for producing porous graphite which can realize higher durability, higher output and a higher capacity; and porous graphite. [Solution] In a component removal step, a carbon member 13 having very small voids formed therein is produced by immersing a carbon-containing material 11 made from a carbon-containing compound, alloy or non-equilibrium alloy in a metal bath 12 to allow other non-carbon main components to be selectively eluted in the metal bath 12, wherein the metal bath 12 has a lower freezing point than the melting point of the carbon-containing material 11 and is controlled at a temperature lower than the lowest value of a liquidus temperature in a composition-varying range during which the contents of the above-mentioned other non-carbon main components are gradually reduced in the carbon-containing material 11 and finally carbon is produced. In a graphitization step, the carbon member 13 produced in the component removal step is heated to graphitize the carbon member 13. In an activation step, the carbon member which has been graphitized in the graphitization step is subjected to an activation treatment.

Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a rotary body shaft, a rotary body structure and a vehicle wheel in which sufficient torsional strength is ensured while keeping costs down. In the casting starting material state, the outer peripheral surface of this rotary body shaft (3) has multiple protrusions; this rotary body shaft (3) is inserted as an internal chill in the rotation center of the rotary body main body (2), and external torsional moment is transmitted to the rotary body main body (2). Further, the specific gravity of the material of the rotary body main body (2) is less than that of the material of the rotary body shaft (3), and multiple protrusions (5) are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotary body shaft (3) in the casting starting material state. The shape of the protrusions (5) has three portions from the outer periphery towards the inner periphery: the leading end portion has a dome shape, the middle portion has a constricted shape, and the base portion has a conical shape. For those of the protrusions (5) having a height of 0.3mm or greater from the outer peripheral surface of the rotary body shaft (3), the ratio of the total of the cross-sectional area enclosed by the equal-height contour line at the 0.3mm height position and the surface area of the outer peripheral surface of the rotary body shaft (3) is 5-50%.
