Abstract
A vane of a compressor is made of solid phase sintering material of which a sintering density is not less than 7.2g/cm.sup.3 and a hollow rate is not more than 10%, and to which CrN phase is adhered through a PVD process. A roller of the compressor is made of hardened and tempered material having a hardness equal to cast iron FC300 (specified by JIS). The roller may be made of hardened and tempered material including at least one of Ni, Cr and Mo, and having a hardness equal to cast iron FC300. The vane and roller are combined, so that a sliding section having excellent abrasion-resistance can be constructed. As a result, a rotary compressor, which employs R134a or R22 coolant as well as HFC system or HC system coolant both of which are R22 substitutes, having extremely high reliability can be realized.
