PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hard carbon film which has such excellent sliding properties and high durability as to exceed those of a conventional hard carbon film, not only in a so-called unlubricated sliding action which does not use a lubricating oil, but also in a sliding action in a lubricating oil containing no extreme-pressure agent, and to provide a method for forming the same. SOLUTION: The hard carbon film has a carbon layer which has a peak of the graphite crystal in an X-ray scattered spectrum, in the film. The hard carbon film contains the graphite crystal having a crystal size of 15-100 nm, and has a weight density d (g/cm 3 ) of 1.81≤d 22 22 , wherein P represents the density of the carbon atom pair in the vicinity of the first proximity (pairs/cm 3 ) and d represents the weight density (g/cm 3 ).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a carrier for a polishing device, which extends a service lifetime of the carrier for the polishing device by improving adhesiveness of a DLC film to a base material of the carrier for the polishing device while preventing the surface of an object to be polished from being damaged. SOLUTION: In a method for manufacturing the carrier 1 for the polishing device, after exposing a sliding surface of a base material 2, comprising a resin as a matrix, of the carrier 1 for the polishing device to plasma, a DLC film 3 is formed on the sliding surface of the base material. The resin is a fiber-reinforced resin containing one or more kinds of reinforced fibers selected from among glass fibers, aramid fibers, and carbon fibers. In a both-side polishing method, the carrier 1 for the polishing device manufactured by the manufacturing method is arranged between upper and lower polishing plates respectively stuck with a polishing cloth. The object to be polished is set in an opening part 4 of the carrier 1 for the polishing device and polished from both sides thereof. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide: a member for an internal combustion engine which sheds deposit while evaporating liquid fuel which has adhered, that is, which can rapidly evaporate the liquid fuel which has adhered and prevent adhesion of the deposit; a piston, a valve and a fuel injection valve each utilizing the member; and a production method of the member for an internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: The member for an internal combustion engine comprises a substrate on which a carbon coating film is formed, the carbon coating film containing fluorine and having a thickness of 10 μm or less. The member includes an intermediate layer containing carbon and silicon between the substrate and the carbon film coating. The piston utilizes the member for an internal combustion engine, the piston being provided with carbon coating film on its crown surface. The valve utilizes the member for an internal combustion engine and is provided with carbon film coating on its stem portion, head portion, surface on the side of a combustion chamber or the like. The fuel injection valve utilizes the member for an internal combustion engine, the injection hole of which is provided with carbon film coating. The member for an internal combustion engine is produced by coating the carbon film coating by a gas-phase film forming method. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
