Abstract

See full text

A piston ring having improved scuffing resistance, cracking resistance and fatigue resistance, consists of a high-chromium martensitic stainless steel and a sliding nitriding layer formed on the surface of said steel. The stainless steel consists of C: 0.3 to 1.0%; Cr: 14.0 to 21.0%, N: 0.05 to 0.50%, at least one of Mo, V, W and Nb: 0.03 to 3.0% in total, Si: 0.1 to 1.0%, Mn 0.1 to 1.0%, P: 0.05% or less, S: 0.05% or less, the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities. The sliding nitriding layer comprises on its surface hard particles mainly consisting of nitrides in a range of from 0.2 to 2.0 .mu.m of average particle size, 7 .mu.m or less of the longest diameter, and from 5 to 30% in area ratio.
