COMPRESSOR SWASH PLATE, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lead-free compressor swash plate exhibiting superior durability. SOLUTION: The cam plate 8 for compressor has: a base material 81; and a sliding layer 82 formed in the surface of the base material 81 and structuring at least a sliding surface 81 for allowing a shoe 21 to slide thereon. The sliding layer 82 is formed from Cu-based-MnS sprayed by a HVOF (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel) thermal spraying method. In the method of manufacturing this compressor swash plate, thermal spraying powder of the Cu-based-MnS is spread to the base material 81 by the HVOF spraying method, and the sliding layer 82 structuring at least the sliding surface 8a for allowing the shoe 21 to slide thereon is formed on the base material 81. More practically, as a Cu-based-Mns, Cu-Ni-MnS is used. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
