A sliding member excellent in cavitation resistance and friction properties which has a sliding surface composed of a resin composition comprising a tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer resin and a polytetrafluoroethylene having a molecular weight of 5,000,000 to 15,000,000 and optionally a solid lubricant, wherein the proportion of the tetrafluoro-ethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer resin is 1 to 50% by volume based on the volume of the resin composition and the proportion of the solid lubricant is 0.5 to 10% by volume based on the volume of the resin composition. The addition of the solid lubricant results in an enhancement of friction properties and the use of an exfoliated graphite as the solid lubricant brings about a further enhancement of friction properties.

Sliding member

A wet type sliding apparatus in which a multilayer sliding member is used in the presence of a lubricating oil, characterized in that the multilayer sliding member is composed of (1) a backing metal layer, (2) a porous, sintered layer provided thereon and (3) a surface layer consisting essentially of polyetheretherketone formed by impregnating and coating the porous, sintered layer with a sliding resin consisting essentially of polyetheretherketone. The above sliding member has a small friction coefficient and excellent wear resistance. In particular, the sliding noise can be more effectively inhibited by adjusting the face roughness of the surface layer of the sliding member to 2 .mu.m or less.
