  • Patent number: 6450792
    Abstract: The invention relates to a displacement machine, in particular a displacement pump used in an automobile and having two components movable slidably relative to one another. In order to keep the wear on the components low, even in the case of a poorly lubricating operating medium, there is provision for at least one component of the two components to be hardened at least on the surface and to consist of sintered material which contains predominantly ferrite and a constituent for improving the sliding properties. This design is particularly advantageous in automobile pumps operating with transmission oil or feeding fuel.
