Abstract
A machine part is proposed which is made from TPI resin and is high in wear resistance and durability. The machine part is formed from a composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a thermoplastic polyimide resin, and 10-100 parts by weight of a reinforcing material, the thermoplastic polyimide resin having a crystallinity of 10% or over. The machine part may be a gear, a friction wheel or a cam used in a mechanical transmission. The crystallinity of the resin is adjusted to 10% or over by injection-molding the resin composition, and heating the thus injection-molded article at 220-340° C. for 5-24 hours.
