Abstract: A swash plate (3, 18) included in a swash plate type compressor for compressing a refrigerant is made of an aluminum alloy as a base material. Sliding contact surfaces (3a, 18a) of the swash plate (3, 18) in sliding contact with shoes (7, 19) linking the swash plate (3, 18) to pistons (6, 17) are coated with a film of a solid lubricant containing at least one lubricating material selected from molybdenum disulfide, tungsten disulfide and graphite by a transfer method. Therefore, the performance of the film and the productivity thereof are improved.

Abstract: A swash plate (3, 18) and pistons (6, 17) included in a swash plate type compressor are made of an aluminum alloy as a base material. Rotation-preventive interfering surfaces (6d, 17d) of the pistons (6, 17) which interfere with another member to restrain the pistons from rotation about their axes are coated with a film of a solid lubricant. Sliding contact surfaces (6a, 17a) of the pistons (6, 17) in sliding contact with surfaces defining cylinder bores (5, 16) are coated with a film of a solid lubricant. When the rotation-preventive interfering surfaces (6d) of the pistons (6) come into impulsive contact with the outer circumference (3b) of the swash plate (3), the outer circumference (3b) of the swash plate (3) is coated with a lubricating film.
