Description

本発明は、DLC(Diamond Like Carbon)の被膜を有する金属部材の表面を強化する方法に関するものであり、該金属部材の表層部に結晶粒径の小さな組織を形成し、これにより耐摩耗性等の機械強度のより一層の改善を図ろうとするものである。
機械部品等の金属部材においては、その設計仕様によっては該成品の表面における機械強度や耐摩耗性を高めておく必要があり、従来は、焼入れや浸炭、窒化等の熱処理あるいは金属製品の表面に対してショットピーニングを行なう等の処理を施すことで対処していた(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
特許第3212433号公報
ところで、従来の表面強化方法では、何れの処理を行う場合においても大掛かりな設備が必要であり、温度管理やショットの球種の管理が煩雑で品質管理が難しくコストアップが避けられない不具合があること、また、金属部材の特定部位に限定して強化を図るのが難しいうえ、とくに、ショットピーニングを行う場合には、ショットの衝突に伴う温度上昇により焼き戻し軟化を起こしたり、ショットの衝突によって成品の表面が荒れてしまい安定した品質を保持することできないことが懸念された。
本発明の課題は、金属部材の表面強化を図る場合に生じていた上記のような従来の問題を解消できる新規な方法を提案するところにある。
本発明は、金属部材の表面を強化するに当たり、前記金属部材の表面に0.2μm以上の厚さになるDLCの被膜を被成し、その表面から2.5GPa以上の面圧を維持したままでローラを転動させるか、あるいは歯車を転動させることにより繰り返し押圧力を付加することを特徴とする金属部材の表面強化方法である。
また、前記DLCの被膜の摩擦係数は、0.6未満であるのがとくに好ましい。
金属部材の表面に2.5GPa以上の面圧を維持したまま繰り返し押圧力を付加すると、その部位には平均結晶粒径が1μm以下になる微細な組織(ナノスケールの組織)が生成されることとなり機械強度、耐摩耗性が格段に改善される。
押圧力を付加するに当たって押圧片を用いる場合にはそれを押し当てた状態で摺動させるだけでよく、また、ローラを用いる場合には、該ローラを繰り返し転動させるだけでよいので、大掛かりな設備は必要とせず、しかも金属部材の特定部位の強化が可能となる。
本発明においては金属部材の表面にDLCの被膜を被成するがその理由は、低摩擦、高強度特性を用いて基材(金属部材)の疲労破壊を防ぎつつ微細組織の生成を促すことができるからであり、被膜の厚さは耐摩耗性を確保する観点から、0.2μm以上とする。

面圧は2.5GPa以上として、繰り返し押圧力を付加するが、その理由は、このような面圧で繰り返し押圧力を付加すると通常の加工よりも強い歪を繰り返し導入することができこれにより微細な組織を得ることができるからである。
炭素系被膜を有する金属部材Bにつき、その外周面の強化を図るには、図1に示すように、金属部材の周面に所定の面圧でもって金属部材Aを押し当てて転動させればよい。
表1に示すような被膜をそれぞれ有する金属部材B(鋼種SCr420H(浸炭):直径26mm、)を用意して、各金属部材に浸炭処理を施したのちそれぞれの外周面に図2に示すような条件のもとで面圧を付与しつつ繰り返し押圧力を付加すべく金属部材Aを転動(ローラの回転数:1500rpm、潤滑:2L/min、潤滑油温度90°C、すべり率:60%、ローラの材質:SUJ2、ローラの直径:130mm)させて各金属部材の耐ピッチング性について調査を行った。
Figure 0004361916
その結果を図2に示す。本発明にしたがう適合例1(図2中実線で表示)は表1の No.1の被膜を有する金属部材であり、適合例2(図2中点線で表示)は表1の No.2の被膜を有する金属部材であり、適合例3(図2中破線で表示)は表1の No.3の被膜を有する金属部材であり、また、適合例4(図2中一点鎖線で表示)は表1の No.4の被膜を有する金属部材であり、さらに適合例5(図2中二点鎖線で表示)は表1の No.5の被膜を有する金属部材であり、これら適合例1〜5は、被膜を有しない比較例1(図2中太い点線で表示)、TiN(膜厚2.5μm、成膜温度450°c)の被膜を有する比較例2(図2中太い実線で表示)に比べ、その表層や内部を基点にして発生するクラックの発生限界が面圧、繰り返し回数の両方若しくは何れか一方において上昇する傾向にあって耐ピッチング性が改善されることが確認された。
機械的強度に優れた表面層を有する金属部材が安定供給できる。
