METHOD FOR TREATING METAL SURFACE, ROTARY SHAFT FOR REFRIGERANT COMPRESSOR TREATED BY THE METHOD, VANE FOR REFRIGERANT COMPRESSOR TREATED BY THE METHOD, AND REFRIGERANT COMPRESSOR USING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention is to provide a refrigerant compressor comprising a compressing element driven by a rotary shaft, for compressing and discharging a sucked HFC5 type refrigerant or refrigerant mainly comprising the HFC type refrigerant by the compressing element, where a rotary shaft applied with the plasma sulphonitriding treatment on the surface is used as the rotary shaft. Or a vane applied with the plasma sulphonitriding treatment on the surface of a10 vane made of a steel equivalent to a high speed tool steel vane or a steel equivalent to a stainless steel is used. Accordingly, a refrigerant compressor comprising a rotary shaft or a vane having a low friction coefficient in a sliding portion on the surface of the rotary shaft or the15 vane and a high wear resistance can be provided even in the case an ester type refrigerator oil or an ether type refrigerator oil is used as the refrigerator oil and an HFC type refrigerant is used.
