Estimating the term…
A screw-type rotary fluid machine such as a compressor or a vacuum pump has male and female rotors which rotate within a casing, with or without mutual contact. At least one of the male and female rotors being surface-treated to have a treated surface structure. The treated surface structure is a multi-layered structures composed of a plurality of layers including a non-electrolytic Ni plating layer and at least one covering layer of organic resin. The organic resin may be one or more kinds selected from a group of engineering plastics, so as to improve mechanical strength.
A dry screw-type rotary fluid machine comprising at least one male rotor and at least one female rotor which rotate within a casing, said male and female rotors being surface-treated to have treated surface structures and being arranged to rotate in contact with each other, wherein said treated surface structure is formed by applying, to the surface of each rotor, a non-electrolytic Ni plating material, and heat-treating the rotor surface carrying said non-electrolytic Ni plating layer, thereby producing fine crystal grain structure in the non-electrolytic Ni plating layer while allowing diffusion of constituents of both the main body of the rotor and the plating layer at the boundary layer between the rotor surface and said non-electrolytic Ni plating layer.
A screw-type rotary fluid machine comprising:
