Abstract
Abstract Improved wear characteristics of a seal ring for a piston and a mating cylinder are obtained by using selected materials for the seal ring and cylinder. The cylinder is characterized by having a surface coating of Ni or Ni alloy containing 3% to 8% of SiC having a particle size of from 0.5μ to 5μ, or by having a base member of Al or Al alloy containing 13% to 23% of Si having a particle size of 5μ to 8μ. The seal ring is characterized by having a Ni or Ni alloy containing 2% to 10% of SiC having a particle size of 0.5μ to 5μ.
