Abstract
Abstract A mechanical part comprises a sliding section and a sleeve section which are prepared separately. The sliding section is made of a wear resisting material such as ceramics and formed with a planar sliding surface at one of the sides thereof. The sliding section is further formed with a joining portion at the outer periphery thereof. The sleeve section is made of metal and formed with a joining portion at the inner periphery thereof. The joining portions of the sliding section and the sleeve section are joined by interference fit or the like, whereby to allow the sliding surface of the sleeve section to be formed into a crowned shape.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
A method of forming a crowned sliding surface in a part, comprising: preparing a sliding section made of a wear resisting material and having opposite sides and an outer periphery betweeen said sides; forming, at one of said sides, a planar sliding surface in said sliding section; forming, at said outer periphery, a joining portion in said sliding section; preparing a sleeve section made of metal and having such a length that is larger than the thickness of said sliding section; forming a joining portion in said sleeve section at an inner periphery thereof; and joining said joining portions of said sliding section and said sleeve section by interference fit and allowing said sliding surface of said sliding section to be formed into a crowned shaped.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
126 words
A method of forming a crowned sliding surface in a part, comprising: preparing a sliding section made of a wear resisting material and having opposite sides and an outer periphery betweeen said sides; forming, at one of said sides, a planar sliding surface in said sliding section; forming, at said outer periphery, a joining portion in said sliding section; preparing a sleeve section made of metal and having such a length that is larger than the thickness of said sliding section; forming a joining portion in said sleeve section at an inner periphery thereof; and joining said joining portions of said sliding section and said sleeve section by interference fit and allowing said sliding surface of said sliding section to be formed into a crowned shaped.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising, before said joining, forming a recess in said sliding section at the other side thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A method as set forth in claim 1 wherein said joining comprises making said sliding surface of said sliding section protrude from an adjacent end face of said sleeve section.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
A method as set forth in claim 1 wherein said joining comprises making said sliding surface of said sliding section substantially flush with an adjacent end face of said sleeve section.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
A method as set forth in claim 1 wherein said first mentioned preparing comprises forming said sliding section from ceramics.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
A method as set forth in claim 1 wherein said second mentioned preparing comprises forming said sleeve section from a steel having a high heat resistivity.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
37 words
A mehtod as set forth in claim 1 wherein said first mentioned preparing comprises forming said sliding section into a circular plate whilst said second mentioned preparing comprises forming said sleeve section into a hollow cylindrical body.
