- the raw material B is preferably graphite having an average particle size of 10 to 70 ⁇ m.
- artificial graphite is more preferable. Since this graphite (especially artificial graphite) does not significantly change the average particle size by firing, it can constitute graphite having an average particle size of 10 to 70 m as it is in the sintered ceramic body after firing.
- the content of graphite (artificial graphite) having an average particle size of 10 to 70 / ⁇ ⁇ in the raw material mixture does not vary greatly between before and after firing, so that the solid lubricant ⁇ in the ceramic sintered body described above It can be the same as the content. That is, the preferable content of graphite having an average particle size of 10 to 70 / ⁇ ⁇ is preferably 2 to 8 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of silicon carbide, and more preferably 2 to 6 parts by weight. More preferred is ⁇ 6 parts by weight.
- the raw material mixture includes silicon carbide, raw material soot, and raw material soot, but may further contain a binder, a dispersant and the like as required.
- the ceramic sintered body can be obtained by firing the raw material mixture described above.
- the raw material mixture is dried (for example, spray-dried) before firing, and further shaped to form the raw material mixture before firing into a predetermined shape.
- a ceramic sintered compact can be obtained by baking the obtained molded object.
- Such firing may be performed under pressure or without pressure.
- the raw material mixture of this embodiment is a combination of small particle size! / ⁇ (fine) raw material A and large particle size ⁇ (coarse) raw material B. Therefore, a sintered body having a sufficiently dense structure can be obtained even under no pressure condition. However, when further denseness of the ceramic sintered body is required, firing is preferably performed under pressure.
- the firing temperature during firing is preferably in the range of 2100 to 2300 ° C, more preferably in the range of 2130 to 2270 ° C, and more preferably in the range of 2150 to 2250 ° C. If the firing temperature is less than 2100 ° C, it tends to be difficult to obtain a dense ceramic sintered body. On the other hand, when the temperature exceeds 2300 ° C, the silicon carbide crystal grains tend to overgrow and the strength tends to decrease. As this firing temperature, it is difficult to directly measure the temperature of the object to be fired. For example, a carbon-type firing jig is allowed to coexist during firing and the temperature is measured with a thermal radiation thermometer. The temperature obtained by can be applied.
- the ceramic sintered body having the above-described configuration has excellent sliding characteristics, and is suitable as, for example, a sliding component used in a non-lubricated state.
- sliding parts include mechanical seals and bearings.
- FIG. 6 is a diagram schematically showing an example of a cross-sectional configuration of the mechanical seal.
- the mechanical seal 10 has a configuration in which a mating ring 1, a seal ring 2, and a coiled spring 3 are arranged in this order, and a rotary shaft 6 is arranged so as to penetrate substantially the center thereof. is doing.
- a fixed side secondary seal 4 is arranged outside the mating ring 1, and a rotary side secondary seal 5 is arranged in the gap between the seal ring 2 and the rotary shaft 6 to fill this gap. !
- the mating ring 1 is fixed, and the seal ring 2 can operate so as to rotate together with the rotating shaft 6.
- the leakage between the mating ring 1 and the seal ring 2 is restricted. Therefore, if this mechanical seal 10 is applied to a predetermined seal end face, the rotating shaft 6 can be rotated and fluid leaks at this rotating portion. Will be able to prevent.
- the mating ring 1 and Z or the seal ring 2 are constituted by the ceramic sintered body of the present embodiment. Since this ceramic sintered body has excellent sliding characteristics as described above, it is difficult to be worn by friction caused by relative rotation of the mating ring 1 and the seal ring 2. Therefore, the mechanical seal 10 having the above configuration can maintain excellent sealing characteristics even after long-term use.
- the ceramic sintered body of the present embodiment includes silicon carbide as a base material, a solid lubricant with an average particle size of 5 ⁇ m or less, and an average particle size of 10 to 70 ⁇ m.
- the solid lubricant ⁇ is contained in the grains, at the grain boundaries, or both.
- the solid lubricant is more excellent in the effect of reducing the friction coefficient as the addition amount is larger and the particle size is larger. Therefore, a fine solid lubricant, such as graphite formed by sintering carbon black, is not sufficiently effective in reducing the friction coefficient when compared with a coarse solid lubricant when an appropriate amount is included. . Therefore, when improving the sliding characteristics with a fine solid lubricant, it is necessary to increase the amount of addition. For example, when a large amount of carbon black is added, dense sintering is performed after firing. The body cannot be obtained, resulting in inadequate sealing properties.
- the ceramic sintered body tends to have cracks.
- a composite material in which a solid lubricant is added to silicon carbide, which is a base material is not a homogeneous material.
- the base material This is thought to be due to the local tensile stress generated in the base metal due to the different elastic behaviors of the lubricant and the solid lubricant.
- a coarse solid lubricant is considered to easily generate cracks because it generates the above-described tensile stress strongly.
- the ceramic sintered body of the present embodiment includes both a fine solid lubricant and a coarse solid lubricant.
- An excellent effect can be obtained while reducing convenience.
- by including a coarse solid lubricant excellent sliding characteristics can be achieved even if the amount of fine solid lubricant added is small. Is obtained.
- the addition amount of the fine solid lubricant is small, the sintering is not excessively inhibited and a dense sintered body can be obtained.
- the fine solid lubricant is uniformly dispersed in the silicon carbide as a base material, it is considered that silicon carbide and a composite base material (SiC / C) can be formed during press molding. As a result, the difference in elastic behavior between the composite base material and the coarse solid lubricant is reduced, so that compared with the case where only the coarse solid lubricant is included, the ceramic sintered body is produced. It is thought that the occurrence of cracks in is suppressed.
