Abstract
Description
本態様のバレル幅領域に形成される凹部の形成方法については、特に限定されることはなく、上述した各条件を満たす凹部を形成することができれば、いかなる方法をも採用することができる。
また、上記で説明したようにバレル幅領域100に凹部3を形成したときには、ピストンリング外周面圧が増加することから、ピストンリング外周面の摩耗が促進することとなる。また、ピストンリングが往復動する際の、上死点停止位置、及び下死点停止位置においては摩擦力が増大する傾向となる。このような点を考慮すると、凹部非形成領域4には、ピストンリング外周面の摩擦力を低減させ、上死点停止位置、及び下死点停止位置における摩擦力を低減させるための表面処理が施されていることが好ましい。このような表面処理としては、凹部非形成領域4に、硬質皮膜である耐摩耗性、低摩擦のDLC(ダイヤモンド・ライク・カーボン)皮膜や、耐摩耗性の高いPVD皮膜を形成する方法を挙げることができる。特に、本発明においては、凹部非形成領域4上に、Cr-Ni系やTi-Ni系等のPVD皮膜を形成し、このPVD皮膜上にDLC皮膜を形成する表面処理が好ましい。また、バレル幅領域100は、ピストン摺動にともない、摺動面は、徐々に径方向に広がることから、外周摺動面200にも、上記の表面処理が施されていることが好ましい。なお、上記で説明したように、ピストンリングのバレル幅領域に硬質皮膜を形成した後に凹部を形成する場合や、硬質皮膜で凸部(凹部非形成領域4)を形成する場合には当該処理は不要である。
また、摺動時に潤滑油は凹部内周面で保持される。ここで、凹部内周面に保持された潤滑油が酸化劣化した場合には、炭素を主成分とする煤が生成され、発生した煤が凹部内周面に付着し、次いで、凹部内周面に付着した煤を起点として徐々に凹部内に煤が堆積していく。煤が堆積することで凹部が目詰まりをおこした場合には、ピストンリングとシリンダライナとの接触面積が増大してしまい凹部を形成することにより発揮される往復動摩擦の低減効果を長期にわたって維持することができなくなる。
