Problems solved by technology

[0006] On the other hand, it has been reported that DLC materials having excellent low-friction properties in air have only a limited friction-reducing effect in the presence of lubricants (Non-Patent Literature Publication 1); Lubricants of organomolybdenum compounds do not produce sufficient friction reducing effect in DLC materials (Non-Patent Document Publication 2)

[0178] Embodiment 1-9 and comparative example 1 and comparative example

[0179] A DLC-coated gasket for a train engine valve was prepared to measure engine motor torque as an example of a low-friction system DLC contact surface.

[0180] Gasket Preparation: The test piece was prepared by polishing a SUJ2 heat-treated material to have a predetermined surface roughness (Ra=0.2um or less).

[0181] Using VCD treatment, the obtained surface was coated with a-C (invisible carbon) type DLC to have a thickness of 1.1 μm, and polished to a surface roughness (Ra=0.04um) with a wrapping tape, and the surface hardness Hv reached 1800. .

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system wherein a pair of relatively movable, facing DLC contact surfaces at least one of which is coated with a DLC film, are further lowered in friction, and the low friction property is stably maintained. The present invention also relates to a lubricant for the system, and a lubricating method. The lubricant for the system having the DLC contact surfaces contains lubricant base oil (A) mainly composed of base oil (X), and sulfur-containing molybdenum complex (B). The base oil (X) is at least one of hydrocracked mineral oils, wax-isomerized mineral oils, and poly-+--olefin base oils, and has a kinematic viscosity of 2 to 20 mm 2 / s at 100 DEG C, a total aromatic content of not higher than 5 mass%, and a total sulfur content of not higher than 0.005 mass%.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system, such as an internal combustion engine, having a pair of relatively movable, face-to-face diamond-like carbon (DLC) contact surfaces, wherein at least one of the contact surfaces is coated with DLC. In particular, the present invention relates to a system, For internal combustion engines, the system has both DLC-coated and non-DLC-coated contact surfaces. The invention also relates to a lubricant for use in the above system and a method of lubricating a system with a DLC contact surface with the lubricant. Background technique [0002] Recently, global environmental problems have attracted attention, such as global warming and ozone depletion. especially CO 2 The release is quite interesting, it is said to have a significant impact on global warming, and countries are concerned about its regulation standards. [0003] CO 2 One of the main challenges of reduction is to reduce energy losses due to frictional ...
