Abstract:
It is proposed to lessen the weight and improve the mechanical strength of a retainer of a valve open-close mechanism driven by an electromagnetic actuator used in an automotive internal combustion engine. The electromagnetic actuator is mounted in a housing mounted on an internal combustion engine body. A first stem has its tip abutting the valve, which is provided with a retainer and carries a first coil spring. A second stem is provided on the other side of an armature. The second stem has a retainer. Between this retainer and the housing, a second coil spring is mounted. At least one of these parts is made of a metal smaller in specific weight than iron or its alloy. Each retainer has a boss and an arcuate corner portion having a radius of curvature R of 1.0 mm or over between a spring abutting surface and the boss to relieve stress concentration.

Abstract:
Provided is a diamond-coated sliding part that is light, has excellent abrasion resistance, that prevents abrasion of the material of an opposite member, and that is effective in reducing power loss. This sliding part is especially useful as an adjusting shim for the valve train mechanism of an internal combustion engine such as an automobile engine in which the base material is silicon nitride or sialon and this base material surface is coated with a diamond coating layer. By performing finish processing on only a small part of peaks of diamond particles protruding from the surface of the diamond coating layer to reduce the height of the protrusions, or by controlling film forming conditions, etc., the profile bearing length ratio (tp) at a cutting level of 0.1 mu m for the sliding surface of the diamond coating layer is made 60% or greater.

The configuration and volume of crowning can be adjusted by heat treatment and processing after the surface hardening, and the sliding part is constituted by a single steel unit or includes at least one portion of a member forming a sliding surface formed into the crowning configuration through surface hardening is jointed to or fitted in a steel sliding part main body and made of ceramics.
Abstract:
A bonded body of aluminum and silicon nitride firmly bonded to each other which is produced economically, and a light-weight component having an excellent lubrication characteristic as a mechanical component of an internal combustion engine of an automobile. The bonded body includes a base consisting of aluminum as its principal component and a member comprising a silicon nitride sintered body bonded substantially directly to the base. A base material (2) in a powder or bulk form containing aluminum as the principal component and a member (1) comprising a silicon nitride sintered body are put into a mold and are heated under pressure to mutually bond them.
Abstract:
A combination of an adjusting shim and a cam used in a valve train in an internal combustion engine for automobiles, the adjusting shim composed of a ceramic material which sets the surface roughness of a sliding surface of the adjusting shim with respect to a cam to not more than 0.1 mu m in ten-point mean roughness Rz, and which contains not less than 60 vol.% of silicon nitride or sialon, and the cam composed of cast iron a surface of which is chill hardened and then provided with a phosphate film thereon. The combination of an adjusting shim and a cam is capable of smoothing a sliding surface of the cam by the break-in of the part even if the cam is not subjected to a super-precision finishing process; preventing the seizure and abnormal abrasion of sliding surfaces; stabilizing a smoothed condition of the sliding surfaces of the cam and shim for a long period of time; and providing excellent sliding characteristics of the sliding surfaces owing to a decrease in the friction coefficient thereof.

Abstract:
An industrially feasible method of grinding silicon nitride ceramics. The method provides a sufficiently smooth surface. Namely. the surface has a maximum heightroughness Rmax of 0.1 micron or less and a ten-point mean roughness Rmax of 0.05 micron. Further, with this method, surface damage can be repaired while grinding. The vertical cutting speed of a grinding wheel into a work should be within the range of 0.005 - 0.1 micron for each rotation of the working surface or the wheel and change linearly or stepwise. The horizontal machining speed should be within the range of 25 to 75 m/sec. With this arrangement, the contact pressure and grinding heat that generate between the work and the hard abrasive grains during grinding are combined. In other words. mechanical and thermal actions are combined.
