Abstract

A refrigerant compressor reserves lubricating oil in a sealed container, and accommodates therein an electric component, and a compression component which is driven by the electric component and compresses a refrigerant. At least one of slide members included in the compression component is made of an iron-based material, and an oxide coating film comprising a composition A portion, a composition B portion, and a composition C portion is provided on a slide surface of the iron-based material. The composition A portion is a portion containing diiron trioxide (Fe2O3) which is more in quantity than other substances, and is, for example, an outermost portion (160a). The composition B portion is a portion containing triiron tetraoxide (Fe3O4) which is more in quantity than other substances and containing a silicon (Si) compound, and is, for example, an intermediate portion (160b). The composition C portion is a portion containing triiron tetraoxide (Fe3O4) which is more in quantity than other substances and containing silicon (Si) which is more in quantity than silicon (Si) of the composition B portion, and is, for example, an inner portion (160c).
