A rotating shaft or a bearing in which diamond is coated on a metal substrate is preferable from the viewpoint of hardness and wear resistance. However, there has been a problem that the diamond thin film peels off from the base material during use and cannot be used for a long time. In addition, in the case of such a diamond-coated sliding material, it is necessary to smooth the surface of the diamond coated on the base material, and for that purpose, polishing using diamond abrasive grains having high manufacturing costs is indispensable. was there. In particular, if the shape of the sliding portion is a complicated curved surface, such polishing is extremely difficult.

[0008] By using ceramics for the substrate,
By improving the adhesion between the substrate and the diamond thin film, the peeling at the time of sliding can be suppressed, and it can be used for a long time. It is not clear why the use of ceramic as the base material improves the adhesion of the diamond thin film, but the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between diamond and ceramic is smaller than that between diamond and metal, and the stress generated in the film is small. It is thought that. Further, among ceramics, the thermal expansion coefficient of silicon nitride is particularly close to that of diamond, and it is desirable to use a material containing silicon nitride as a main component for the base material.

Although the thickness of the diamond thin film can be changed as required, it is generally preferably about 1 μm to 20 μm. If the thickness of the thin film is less than 1 μm, the possibility of peeling from the substrate during sliding increases. Conversely, if the thickness exceeds 20 μm, even after polishing, the surface roughness after polishing is large, and the friction during sliding is severe. In particular, a thickness of about 5 to 12 μm is preferable.
