Abstract:
A compressor used in a refrigerating cycle is provided as a miniaturized and lightweight unit at low production cost by selecting an optimal material to constitute components or by forming the housing in a specific shape so as to allow the components to have smaller wall thicknesses while assuring sufficient strength. A tough material achieving a tensile strength greater than 800N/mm 2 is used when forming at least one of the components constituting the housing and the internal mechanisms. In addition, over the area of the housing where the bottom surface and the inner circumferential surface connect with each other, the bottom surface forms an R-shaped portion and the inner circumferential surface forms a sloping portion or an R-shaped portion.

Abstract:
A piston ring for an internal combustion engine is formed of a TiAl-based intermetallic compound having a volume fraction Vf of L1₀ type TiAl (γ-phase) in a range represented by Vf ≧ 30%. Such piston ring has a light weight, a high rigidity and a high limit of the number of revolutions (rpm) of the engine. The piston ring is subjected to a thermal treatment, preferably between about 500°C and 900°C, and then a thin film of titanium nitride, chromium nitride, titanium-aluminum nitride or the like is formed on the surfaces by a physical vapor deposition process, such as ion-plating..
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a piston for an in-cylinder fuel-injection type internal combustion engine having a low thermal conductive material capable of further improving heat insulating property. SOLUTION: This piston for in-cylinder fuel-injection type internal combustion engine has a low thermal conductive member comprising low thermal conductive base material, and coating layer including alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) fine particles adhering on at least part of a cast-in surface cast in a piston body part at one surface side of the low thermal conductive base material cast in a piston top part. A heat insulating layer comprising the coating layer and or an air gap layer caused by the same is formed between the low thermal conductive member and the piston body thereby. As a result, low thermal conductivity of a fuel impingement zone can be easily improved as compared to a case that the low thermal conductive member is simply cast in. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
