Disclosed is a plain bearing for internal combustion engines, in which a back metal layer is lined with a bearing alloy layer made of an aluminum-base bearing alloy which has a Vickers hardness (Hv) of from not less than 40 to not more than 160. The bearing alloy layer includes a lubricative surface layer which has a thickness of not more than 10 &#x3bc;m and contains a solid lubricant. The maximum concentration of an element contained in the solid lubricant is not less than 5 mass %.

A metallic sliding member which is improved in initial compatibility and significantly reduced in frictional resistance: and a process for producing the member. The process comprises causing fine particles of molybdenum disulfide to collide against the surface of a base to form a layer containing molybdenum disulfide, serving as a solid lubricant, as a surface layer having a depth not larger than 20 &#x3bc;m from the surface.

A sliding surface of at least one of sliding members sliding with respect to each other in a sliding direction comprises a protrusion extending along a direction intersecting the sliding direction and fine dimples provided on a surface of the protrusion. In the sliding members, lubricating oil is accumulated in the dimples, and is easily extracted through a drain portion formed by dimple in a running-in operation.
