  • Swash-plate of swash-plate type compressor
    Patent number: 6337141
    Abstract: The seizure resistance of an Al-based flame-sprayed layer formed on the swash plate of a swash-plate type comressor is increased to such a level comparable to that of a flame-sprayed bronze layer. The Al-based flame-sprayed layer of the present invention contains: from 12 to 60% of Si and granular Si particles dispersed in the matrix thereof, and at least one dispersing phase of graphite carbon, amorphous carbon and carbon, the crystallizing degree of which is between the graphite carbon and amorphous carbon, and MoS2.
