Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a roller for use in a rotary compressor, which roller comprising a sintered body consisting essentially of 0.5-2.0% by weight of C, 1.0-5.0% by weight of Cu, 1.2-3.0% by weight of Mo and a balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities. In the sintered alloy, hard particles of Fe-Mo alloy are dispersed in one of pearlitic and tempering martensitic matrix, and sintered pores of the sintered body is sealed with tri-iron tetroxide. Resultant sintered body has high wear resistance and scuffing resistance capable of being used as an inverter type compressor.

A roller for use in a rotary compressor, which roller comprising a sintered body consisting essentially of 0.5-2.0% by weight of C, 1.0-5.0% by weight of Cu, 1.2-3.0% by weight of Mo and a balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities; and wherein hard particles of Fe-Mo alloy are dispersed in one of pearlitic and tempering martensitic matrix, and sintered pores of said sintered body are sealed with tri-iron tetroxide.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
144 words
A method for producing a roller for use in a rotary compressor, said roller being formed of a sintered body produced by the steps of: mixing together 1.0 to 2.0% by weight of graphite powders, 2.5 to 3.0% by weight of pure copper powders, 2.0 to 5.0% by weight of Fe-Mo alloy powders and balance pure iron powders to obtain a powder mixture: compacting said powder mixture to form a powder compact; sintering said powder compact to obtain a sintered body formed with sintered pores; and, steam treating said sintered body to seal said sintered pores, a resultant sintered body consisting essentially of 0.5-2.0% by weight of C, 1.0-5.0% by weight of Cu, 1.2-3.0% by weight of Mo and a balance Fe and unavoidable impurities, hard particles of Fe-Mo alloy being dispersed in pearlitic matrix, and said sintered pores being sealed with tri-iron tetroxide.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
144 words
A method for producing a roller for use in a rotary compressor, said roller being formed of a sintered body produced by the steps of: mixing together 1.0 to 2.0% by weight of graphite powders, 2.5 to 3.0% by weight of pure copper powders, 2.0 to 5.0% by weight of Fe-Mo alloy powders and balance pure iron powders to obtain a powder mixture: compacting said powder mixture to form a powder compact; sintering said powder compact to obtain a sintered body formed with sintered pores; and, steam treating said sintered body to seal said sintered pores, a resultant sintered body consisting essentially of 0.5-2.0% by weight of C, 1.0-5.0% by weight of Cu, 1.2-3.0% by weight of Mo and a balance Fe and unavoidable impurities, hard particles of Fe-Mo alloy being dispersed in pearlitic matrix, and said sintered pores being sealed with tri-iron tetroxide.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
