Abstract
Sintered machinery parts have been widely used in automobiles, business machines and home appliances due to their priority of near net shaped parts can be inexpensively produced. On the other hand, with trend toward higher required functions for the parts, conventional sintered parts couldn’t have ensured the functions. Resin composite sintered parts are also one of the measures. So higher function parts that impart feature of sintered parts with feature of resin as hybrid parts that compensate lack of properties of the sintered parts have been developed. In this paper, resin composite piston for shock absorber and torque sensor for electric power steering which characteristically represent the developed parts are described.
