Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method of treating a composite piston pin, including: preparing the piston pin of which at least surface layer includes a composite material including a reinforcing fiber and a resin; improving roughness by processing the surface layer of the piston pin; and forming a coating layer on the surface layer processed to reduce a friction coefficient of the piston pin.
Claims4
A method of treating a composite piston pin, comprising:
- preparing the composite piston pin of which at least a surface layer includes a composite material including a reinforcing fiber and a resin;
- improving roughness by processing the at least a surface layer of the composite piston pin;
- and
- forming a coating layer on the at least a surface layer processed to reduce a friction coefficient of the composite piston pin,
- wherein the preparing includes:
- a first rolling step of rolling a first prepreg including a reinforcing fiber and a resin to enclose an outside surface of a cylindrical mold;
- a second rolling step of rolling a second prepreg including a reinforcing fiber having elasticity higher than that of the reinforcing fiber of the first prepreg and a resin to enclose an outside surface of the first prepreg;
- and
- a molding step of putting the first prepreg and the second prepreg rolled on the cylindrical mold in an oven and integrally molding the first prepreg and the second prepreg,
- wherein the second prepreg configured to include the reinforcing fiber aligned in parallel with a longitudinal direction of the composite piston pin, and
- wherein the first prepreg includes:
- a first layer configured to include the reinforcing fiber aligned perpendicular to the reinforcing fiber of the second prepreg;
- a second layer configured to include the reinforcing fiber aligned in parallel with a longitudinal direction of the composite piston pin, and
- wherein a ratio between a thickness of the rolled first prepreg and a thickness of the rolled second prepreg is within range of 7:3 to 4:6.
