Abstract

Because prior piston rings can not be well applicable to high output engines which are developed recently, the present invention relates to improvements on the binding property, the abrasiveness, the stripping property in fragments, etc. of the protecting films of the peripheral surfaces of the piston rings. The protecting film 2A of the peripheral sliding surface 2 of the piston ring 1 of the present invention is composed of chromium nitride which is in the state of a column form and can extend from the surface side of a parent metal to the surface of the protecting film, or the vacancy rate of the chromium nitride protecting film is 1.5 to 20%.

Description

Piston ring
The present invention relates to the piston ring that a kind of internal-combustion engine that the protective film of superior abrasion resistance arranged is at least used on the periphery slip surface.
Piston ring is to form the relation ground that is slidingly connected with its outer circumferential face and cylinder sleeve inner peripheral surface to be assembled into like that and can free reciprocatingly to be configured in the circular groove of the piston in the engine jacket, mainly plays sealed combustion chamber, is controlled at the thickness of the lubricant film that forms on the casing surface and comes cooling piston by ignition heat is passed to cylinder sleeve from piston.Therefore abrasion resistance, sintering resistance, heat resistance, guarantor's oiliness of piston ring and the characteristics such as abrasion that suppress the cylinder side all there is higher requirement.
In order to satisfy these requirements, present piston ring is all improved the surface treatment of sliding properties to the ferrous materials such as steel of good toughness, abrasion resistance and superior for heat resistance.So far the surface treatment method of used piston ring has nitriding treatment, chromium plating processing, the processing of spraying plating molybdenum etc.
Some object lessons of this surface-treated just like Japan Patent special fair 1-52471 number and spy open clear 62-120471 number disclosed; with PVD (Physical VaporDeposition) method; on slip surface, cover the piston ring of protective films such as last layer metal nitride or metal carbide; the protective film of this metal nitride and metal carbide demonstrates superior abrasion resistance and sintering resistance; especially titanium nitride and chromium nitride etc. are because of the adaptability that better motor is arranged is gazed at.
But, in recent years, along with the raising of engine output and improving constantly of performance, also just more and more harsher to the desired condition of piston ring, begun to occur to adapt to the situation of the piston ring that the motor of nearest high-output power uses, wished to develop some sacrificial vessels and have the process for treating surface that the piston ring of more superior abrasion resistance is used with former surface treatment method.
For example, make on the better nearest motor of abrasion resistance with titanium nitride or chromium nitride protective film, promptly use these ceramic coating protective films, the situation that sliding properties still can not fully be satisfied also takes place at those.That is, have on the surface of the periphery protective film of piston ring, to produce and be considered to because the problem that the tired fragment shape that forms of pit corrosion is peeled off.Therefore, wish to develop a kind of piston ring that is covered with the ceramic coating protective film more superior than existing surface-treated abrasion resistance.
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of being covered with the piston ring that the more superior protective film of abrasion resistance and sealing was peeled off, can be made simultaneously to the fragment shape be difficult for to take place.
After the inventor has carried out meticulous research to above-mentioned problem; found that and on the periphery slip surface, form the piston ring that the crystallization of protective film broken-out section is the chromium nitride protective film of columnar shape at least; being difficult to produce the fragment shape on the surface of periphery slip surface peels off; simultaneously can improve abrasion resistance and sealing, finish the present invention thus.
Promptly; the feature of piston ring of the present invention is that the thickness that the chromium nitride of columnar shape constitutes in forming by the crystallization of protective film bursting surface on the periphery slip surface of piston ring at least is the protective film of 1~80 μ m, and perhaps forming by the lattice vacancy rate is that the thickness that 1.5~20% chromium nitride constitutes is the protective film of 1~80 μ m.
Among the present invention; substrate with the protective film covering; be that piston ring body can be with former known form in any case, its material can be with ferrous material such as 13Cr and 17Cr stainless steel, spring steel, tool steel, steel and the material of implementing nitriding treatment or chromium plating on these materials.
The protective film thickness of piston ring, consideration should be made more than the 1 μ m, even also must make protective film residual to some extent after running-in is in the early stage because of the possibility that initial stage running-in abrasion disappears surface layer.On the other hand, if thickness is made more than the necessary size, doing blocked uply, then is non-remunerative economically.Owing to when thickness surpasses 60 μ m, be easy to generate be full of cracks on the protective film, Adhesion force reduced, thereby wish thickness is made below the 60 μ m.But, also can accomplish 80 μ m to the thickness of protective film needing antifriction to decrease under the situation of durability especially always.
The solid density of CrN is 6.14g/cm when forming the CrN protective film 3The CrN protective film of piston ring, when its compactness uprised, protective film became fragile, and the fragment shape takes place easily peel off.In order to prevent to peel off, should increase the job vacancy rate of CrN, job vacancy rate must when the protective film job vacancy rate is too high, can make hardness descend more than 1.5%, and abrasion resistance degenerates.Therefore, the job vacancy rate of protective film is being necessary below 20%.The job vacancy rate of protective film is increased at 20% o'clock from 1.5%, and the hardness of protective film can deliquescing, is reduced to 600 by the small hardness HmV of surface measurements from about 1000.The job vacancy rate of protective film can easily be calculated by the density of measuring protective film.
Equally, in limiting the CrN protective film of job vacancy rate, in order further to improve anti-stripping property, the broken-out section form of protective film is become column and then its crystallization by the CrN parallel with the periphery slip surface (111) face azimuthal orientation, better effect is arranged.The protective film thickness of piston ring is considered the possibility that can make the surface layer disappearance because of initial stage running-in abrasion, should make more than the 1 μ m, even running-in in the early stage also must make protective film keep to some extent later on.In addition, if protective film thickness is made more than the necessary size, doing blocked uply, then is non-remunerative economically.Owing to when thickness surpasses 60 μ m, be easy to generate be full of cracks on the protective film, Adhesion force is reduced, therefore wish thickness is made below the 60 μ m.But, also can accomplish 80 μ m to thickness needing antifriction to decrease under the situation of durability especially always.
In the present invention, be preferably on the piston ring and form protective film with ion plating method.Ion plating method is a kind of method that forms protective film with the PVD method.The PVD method is the technology that forms protective film, can be divided into three kinds of methods such as evaporation, cathode vacuum spraying plating, ion plating basically.Wherein, reacting, can pile up the protective film that the reactive ion plating of chromium nitride protective film forms with the steam and the nitrogen that can make chromium on piston ring again is the best.
The steam of chromium can be by shining chromium, its evaporation obtained with high energy beams such as HCD electron gun or electronic beam current stream.Also can as the ion electroplating method and cathode vacuum metallikon of cathode arc plasma formula, make the particle of chromium obtain the chromium steam from negative electrode with flying out.
Chromium is the element that forms nitride easily.Therefore, when making it that plasma takes place in the gas phase that is mixed into nitrogen in the steam at chromium, just make chromium ionization, respectively with the nitrogen ion combination, form chromium nitride.Its result forms the protective film of chromium nitride on as the surface of the piston ring mother metal of base material.At this moment, more just form the composition of CrN in the nitrogen delivery volume, more just form Cr when the nitrogen delivery volume 2The composition of N is if the further minimizing of nitrogen amount then can generate unreacted Cr.
Below, explain a method that on the periphery slip surface of piston ring body, forms said protection film.
The mother metal of piston ring is cleaned, removed, be inserted in the vacuum chamber of apparatus for ionically plating after treating fully to clean attached to lip-deep dirt.Vacuumize, up to vacuum indoor pressure is extracted into 1.3 * 10 -3-5 * 10 -3After the Pa, the heater heats with being contained in the apparatus for ionically plating is emitted the gas that has in the piston ring mother metal.Heating-up temperature is preferably got 300~500 ℃.After this, it is cooled to 100~400 ℃.
When the vacuum room pressure becomes 4.0 * 10 -3When Pa is following, chromium constitute to electrode as negative electrode, Arc Discharge takes place in its surface, chromium ion is flown out.At this moment on the piston ring mother metal, add bias voltage, use the metal ion that flies out by negative electrode, promptly substrate surface is removed oxide and active the processing with impacting ablution with the method for high energy impact to the substrate surface.At this moment bias voltage is preferably got-700~-900 volts.
After this, bias voltage is reduced, chromium ion is deposited on the periphery slip surface of piston ring, simultaneously nitrogen is imported in the vacuum chamber, it is passed through in the plasma.Make nitrogen ionization thus, nitrogen partial pressure is transferred to 1.3 * 10 -1The degree of~13.3Pa is added to 0~-100 volt with bias voltage, makes the protective film that forms ion plating on the outer circumferential face of piston ring.After protective film forms, in vacuum chamber, be cooled to below 200 ℃ after, in vacuum chamber, take out piston ring.The job vacancy rate of protective film can carry out suitable selection according to control operation pressure.
Above said be the method that on piston ring, forms the chromium nitride protective film.The piston ring that makes is difficult to take place the fragment shape to be peeled off, and superior abrasion resistance and adhesiveness are arranged.
In the present invention, the method that further improves Adhesion force between the mother metal of protective film and piston ring is to form the base layer that is made of crome metal between the mother metal of piston ring and protective film.In this method, when forming protective film, when before reaction gas is imported, carrying out the ion film plating of chromium, just can on the piston ring mother metal, form the base layer of chromium.The base layer of this crome metal because thermal expansion approaches the piston ring mother metal, is difficult to the stress influence of being heated, thereby can further improves adhesiveness, and be imbued with ductility.The thickness of the base layer of crome metal is 0.1~2 μ m preferably.The DeGrain that the adhesiveness of discontented 0.1 μ m improves, and the abundant display effect of energy of 0.1~2 μ m thickness.What surpass 2 μ m both can not get better effect, also is non-remunerative economically.
Like this, between protective film and piston ring mother metal, form the base layer that is imbued with adhesiveness and ductility the effect that prevents that further protective film from peeling off is arranged.
