Description

摺動部材およびその製造方法Sliding member and manufacturing method thereof
 本発明は、自動車及び産業用機械におけるカムシャフト駆動チェーン、オイルポンプ駆動チェーン、バランサーシャフト駆動チェーン等に用いられる摺動部材の金属表面処理技術に係り、特に、摺動部材表面の炭化物皮膜の割れ防止技術に関する。 The present invention relates to a metal surface treatment technology for sliding members used in camshaft drive chains, oil pump drive chains, balancer shaft drive chains and the like in automobiles and industrial machines, and in particular, cracking of a carbide film on the surface of the slide members. Prevention technology.
 自動車及び産業機械等には各種のチェーンが使用されており、カムシャフト駆動チェーン、オイルポンプ駆動チェーン、バランサーシャフト駆動チェーン等が挙げられる。これらチェーンにおいては、運転中にリンクがピンの周りを往復摺動するため、ピンが摩耗する。このため、チェーン用ピン等の摺動部材の耐摩耗性向上に関し様々な技術開発がなされている。例えば、特許文献1には、高面圧下においても優れた耐摩耗性を実現すべく、チェーン用連結ピンの母材となる鋼の表面に、バナジウム炭化物を主成分としかつ少量のクロム炭化物を含む炭化物層を拡散浸透処理によって形成する技術が開示されている。 Various chains are used in automobiles and industrial machines, such as camshaft drive chains, oil pump drive chains, balancer shaft drive chains, and the like. In these chains, the link wears back and forth around the pin during operation, so the pin wears. For this reason, various technical developments have been made for improving the wear resistance of sliding members such as chain pins. For example, Patent Document 1 includes vanadium carbide as a main component and a small amount of chromium carbide on the surface of a steel serving as a base material of a connecting pin for a chain in order to realize excellent wear resistance even under high surface pressure. A technique for forming a carbide layer by diffusion infiltration processing is disclosed.
特開2002-195356号公報JP 2002-195356 A
 特許文献1における中間層は母材(Fe)と皮膜種(V)の間に中間的な硬度を持つCr被膜を介装して中間層としたものである。ここで、母材(Fe)の硬度はHMV500、V被膜の硬度はHMV2200で、Cr被膜の硬度がHMV1500であることから、Cr皮膜が中間的な硬度を持ち適用されている。しかしながら、母材(Fe)にHMV1500のCr皮膜を適用して焼き入れ処理を実施すると、熱膨張係数差によりCr皮膜が割れることが知られているが、中間層として用いることができる適当な被膜は現在のところ提供されていないのが実情である。同様に、コーティング種としては前述のCr(HMV1500)、V(HMV2200)の他にもNb、Ti(HMV3200)等の高硬度で耐久性に優れた皮膜はあるが、皮膜処理後の焼き入れ処理(基材強化)において割れるため、量産化が困難であるのが実情である。 The intermediate layer in Patent Document 1 is formed by interposing a Cr film having an intermediate hardness between the base material (Fe) and the film type (V). Here, since the hardness of the base material (Fe) is HV500, the hardness of the V coating is HMV2200, and the hardness of the Cr coating is HMV1500, the Cr coating has an intermediate hardness and is applied. However, it is known that when the HV1500 Cr coating is applied to the base material (Fe) and the quenching treatment is performed, the Cr coating is cracked due to a difference in thermal expansion coefficient, but an appropriate coating that can be used as an intermediate layer. Is currently not provided. Similarly, there are coatings with high hardness and durability such as Nb and Ti (HMV3200) in addition to the aforementioned Cr (HMV1500) and V (HMV2200), but quenching treatment after coating treatment. Actually, it is difficult to mass-produce because it breaks in (strengthening the base material).
 したがって、本発明は、Cr皮膜を例に取り、母材とクロム炭化物被膜との熱膨張係数の差に起因する被膜割れを防止することができる摺動部材およびその製造方法を提供することを目的としている。また、これらの技術は他皮膜種にも適用できるものである。 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a sliding member capable of preventing coating cracking caused by a difference in thermal expansion coefficient between a base material and a chromium carbide coating, and a method for manufacturing the same, taking a Cr coating as an example. It is said. These techniques can also be applied to other film types.
 本発明の摺動部材は、鉄系母材に、母材元素(Fe)と被覆種:A(AはCr,V,Ti,Nbの1種または2種以上)からなる複合炭化物 (Fe,A)Cからなる中間層を介してA炭化物層が被覆されていることを特徴とする。 The sliding member of the present invention comprises a composite carbide (Fe,) consisting of a base element (Fe) and a coating type: A (A is one or more of Cr, V, Ti, Nb) on an iron base. A) A carbide layer is covered with an intermediate layer made of C.
 Cr皮膜を例に取ると、本発明の摺動部材は、鋼部材に、鉄とクロムの複合炭化物(Fe,Cr)Cからなる中間層を介してクロム炭化物層が被覆されていることを特徴とする。この層構造を図1(a)に示す。図1(a)に示すようにこの層構造によれば、中間層の構成が母材(Fe)と皮膜種(Cr)からなり、両層の中間的な特性を持たすことが可能となり、クロム炭化物層と鋼部材の熱膨張係数の差に起因する応力を緩和することができる。この場合、(クロム炭化物層+中間層)の厚さに対し、中間層の厚さが16%以上であることが好ましい。中間層の厚さが16%未満であると、前述の熱膨張係数の差に起因する応力を十分に緩和し難く、鋼部材上の被膜が割れ易くなる。また、中間層のCr濃度が、クロム炭化物層へ向けて徐々に増加することが好ましく、又、Fe濃度は逆に減少することが好ましい。これにより、中間層の硬度はクロム炭化物層と鋼部材の硬度の中間程度の値を示し、すなわち中間的な特性を持ち、クロム炭化物被膜への応力集中を十分に緩和することができ、被膜割れを防止することができる。 Taking a Cr film as an example, the sliding member of the present invention is characterized in that a chromium carbide layer is coated on a steel member via an intermediate layer made of a composite carbide (Fe, Cr) C of iron and chromium. And This layer structure is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1 (a), according to this layer structure, the intermediate layer is composed of a base material (Fe) and a coating type (Cr), and can have intermediate characteristics between the two layers. The stress resulting from the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the carbide layer and the steel member can be relaxed. In this case, the thickness of the intermediate layer is preferably 16% or more with respect to the thickness of (chromium carbide layer + intermediate layer). When the thickness of the intermediate layer is less than 16%, it is difficult to sufficiently relieve the stress caused by the difference in thermal expansion coefficient described above, and the coating on the steel member is likely to crack. Further, the Cr concentration in the intermediate layer is preferably gradually increased toward the chromium carbide layer, and the Fe concentration is preferably decreased. As a result, the hardness of the intermediate layer shows an intermediate value between the hardness of the chromium carbide layer and the steel member, that is, it has intermediate characteristics and can sufficiently relax the stress concentration on the chromium carbide coating, Can be prevented.
 また、Cr皮膜以外の層構造(V,Nb,Ti)を図1(b)に示した。この場合には、Cr皮膜と同様の条件の16%以上にて皮膜割れを防止することができる。 Also, the layer structure (V, Nb, Ti) other than the Cr film is shown in FIG. In this case, film cracking can be prevented under 16% or more of the same conditions as the Cr film.
 また、本発明は、拡散浸透処理によって鉄とクロムの複合炭化物(Fe,Cr)Cからなる中間層を介してクロム炭化物層を鋼部材に被覆する摺動部材の製造方法であり、鋼材組織はセメンタイトをあらかじめ含み、Fe-C系状態図上のオーステナイト+セメンタイト領域で拡散浸透処理を行うことを特徴とする。鋼部材表面の組織がオーステナイト+セメンタイトの状態であると、オーステナイト+セメンタイト領域ではFeCが安定に存在するため、外部からCrを供給してFeCと反応させることにより、図1に示すような(Fe,Cr)Cからなる中間層を鋼部材表面に確実に生成することができる。 Further, the present invention is a method for producing a sliding member in which a chromium carbide layer is coated on a steel member through an intermediate layer made of a composite carbide of iron and chromium (Fe, Cr) C by diffusion permeation treatment. It is characterized by containing cementite in advance and performing diffusion and permeation treatment in the austenite + cementite region on the Fe—C phase diagram. When the structure of the steel member surface is in the austenite + cementite state, Fe 3 C is stably present in the austenite + cementite region. Therefore, by supplying Cr from the outside and reacting with Fe 3 C, it is shown in FIG. Such an intermediate layer made of (Fe, Cr) C can be reliably generated on the surface of the steel member.
 本発明によれば、鋼部材に、鉄とクロムの複合炭化物(Fe,Cr)Cからなる中間層を介してクロム炭化物層の被覆を行う。このため、鋼部材とクロム炭化物層の熱膨張係数差に起因する応力を中間層により緩和することができ、鋼部材上の被膜の割れを防ぐことができる。 According to the present invention, the chromium carbide layer is coated on the steel member via the intermediate layer made of the composite carbide (Fe, Cr) C of iron and chromium. For this reason, the stress resulting from the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the steel member and the chromium carbide layer can be relaxed by the intermediate layer, and cracking of the coating on the steel member can be prevented.

 以下、具体的な実施例により本発明をさらに詳細に説明する。
 はじめに、本発明の中間層の生成条件について検討を行った。0.6%以上のCを含む鉄鋼材料、クロム含有粉末(例えば、金属クロム)、焼結防止剤(例えば、アルミナ)および促進剤(例えば、塩化アンモニウム等のハロゲン化物)からなる浸透剤を処理装置に充填し、不活性ガス流入条件下にて拡散浸透処理を行い、鋼部材にクロム炭化物を被覆した。浸炭処理後の表面炭素濃度と、拡散浸透処理温度と、この拡散浸透処理の際に鋼部材とクロム炭化物層との間に中間層が生成したかどうかの結果を表1および図2にまとめた。
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to specific examples.
First, the conditions for forming the intermediate layer of the present invention were examined. Treats penetrants consisting of steel materials containing 0.6% or more of C, chromium-containing powders (for example, metallic chromium), sintering inhibitors (for example, alumina) and accelerators (for example, halides such as ammonium chloride). The apparatus was filled, diffusion diffusion treatment was performed under inert gas inflow conditions, and the steel member was coated with chromium carbide. Table 1 and FIG. 2 summarize the results of the surface carbon concentration after the carburizing process, the diffusion infiltration temperature, and whether an intermediate layer was formed between the steel member and the chromium carbide layer during the diffusion infiltration process. .

Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-T000001
 図2は、各鋼部材の表面炭素濃度と中間層の有無との関係を示すグラフである。表1および図2より、鋼部材の表面炭素濃度が所定の値を示し、表面組織がオーステナイト+セメンタイト領域内またはその付近にある状態で拡散浸透処理を行った本発明例1~13では、拡散浸透処理時の温度がいずれの場合においても中間層が確認された。これは、オーステナイト+セメンタイト領域ではセメンタイト(FeC)が安定に存在し、最表面に被覆したクロム炭化物層からのCrと母材表面のFeCが反応したため、(Fe,Cr)Cからなる中間層が生成したと考えられる。一方、鋼部材表面の組織がオーステナイト領域にある状態で拡散浸透処理を行った比較例1~8では、中間層は生成しなかった。このことから、鋼部材表面の組織がオーステナイト+セメンタイトの状態において拡散浸透処理を行えば中間層を確実に得られることを確認できた。 FIG. 2 is a graph showing the relationship between the surface carbon concentration of each steel member and the presence or absence of an intermediate layer. From Table 1 and FIG. 2, in Examples 1 to 13 of the present invention in which the diffusion and permeation treatment was performed in a state where the surface carbon concentration of the steel member showed a predetermined value and the surface structure was in or near the austenite + cementite region, The intermediate layer was confirmed at any temperature during the permeation treatment. This is because cementite (Fe 3 C) is stably present in the austenite + cementite region, and Cr from the chromium carbide layer coated on the outermost surface reacts with Fe 3 C on the surface of the base material, so (Fe, Cr) C It is thought that an intermediate layer was formed. On the other hand, in Comparative Examples 1 to 8 in which the diffusion permeation treatment was performed in a state where the structure of the steel member surface was in the austenite region, no intermediate layer was formed. From this, it has been confirmed that the intermediate layer can be obtained reliably if the diffusion permeation treatment is performed in a state where the structure of the steel member surface is austenite + cementite.
 そして、中間層が生成したかどうかを顕微鏡観察で調べた結果を図3に示す。また、一例として、本発明例16の被膜のEPMA分析結果を図4に示す。 FIG. 3 shows the result of examining whether or not the intermediate layer has been generated by microscopic observation. As an example, FIG. 4 shows the EPMA analysis result of the coating film of Example 16 of the present invention.
 図4より、中間層は表層のCrC層と母材に含有される成分(Fe,Cr,C)を有しており、中間層のCr濃度が表層へ向けて徐々に増加していることがわかる。また、この試料の各層および母材のビッカース硬度を調べたところ、CrC層はHV1626、中間層はHV889、母材はHV526であった。したがって、中間層はCrC層と母材の中間の組成および硬度を有していることを確認できた。 From FIG. 4, the intermediate layer has a surface CrC layer and components (Fe, Cr, C) contained in the base material, and the intermediate layer Cr concentration gradually increases toward the surface layer. Recognize. When the Vickers hardness of each layer and the base material of this sample was examined, the CrC layer was HV1626, the intermediate layer was HV889, and the base material was HV526. Therefore, it was confirmed that the intermediate layer had an intermediate composition and hardness between the CrC layer and the base material.
 次に、本発明の中間層の厚さとその効果について検討を行った。
 拡散浸透処理を行った鋼材を母材強化のためオーステンパー処理(830℃・60分保持後、310℃の塩浴に焼入れ)を行った。熱処理後、各試料の断面を顕微鏡により観察し、被膜割れの有無と中間層比率との関係について調べた。その結果を表2および図5に示す。なお、中間層比率は、母材上の全被膜の厚さに対する中間層の割合である。表2および図5より、中間層比率が16%以上の本発明例14~20では、中間層による応力緩和の効果が十分であるため被膜の割れは確認されなかった。一方、中間層比率が16%未満の比較例9~12では、中間層による応力緩和の効果が小さいため被膜が割れている。したがって、母材上の全被膜厚さに対し中間層の厚さが16%以上であれば、被膜の割れを防ぐことができることが判った。
Next, the thickness of the intermediate layer of the present invention and its effect were examined.
The steel material subjected to the diffusion permeation treatment was subjected to an austemper treatment (holding at 830 ° C. for 60 minutes and then quenched in a salt bath at 310 ° C.) for strengthening the base material. After the heat treatment, the cross section of each sample was observed with a microscope, and the relationship between the presence or absence of film cracking and the intermediate layer ratio was examined. The results are shown in Table 2 and FIG. The intermediate layer ratio is the ratio of the intermediate layer to the thickness of the entire coating on the base material. From Table 2 and FIG. 5, in Examples 14 to 20 of the present invention in which the intermediate layer ratio was 16% or more, the effect of stress relaxation by the intermediate layer was sufficient, and no cracking of the coating was confirmed. On the other hand, in Comparative Examples 9 to 12 in which the intermediate layer ratio is less than 16%, the coating is cracked because the effect of stress relaxation by the intermediate layer is small. Therefore, it was found that the crack of the coating can be prevented if the thickness of the intermediate layer is 16% or more with respect to the total film thickness on the base material.
