The disclosure concerns a sliding component and a method of manufacturing a sliding component. The sliding component includes a substrate and an electrical component. The substrate has a front surface and a rear surface and comprising an electrically-insulating substrate portion extending through a metallic substrate portion, and an electrical connector extending through the electrically-insulating portion between the front surface and the rear surface. The electrical component is arranged at the front surface of the substrate and electrically connected to the electrical connector.

Sliding component and method

A sliding element for an engine may include a metallic substrate, a first polymer-based layer, and a second polymer-based layer. The first polymer-based layer may include a polymeric material and may be disposed on the metallic substrate. The second polymer-based layer may include a polymeric material and may be disposed on the first polymer-based layer. The polymeric material of the first polymer-based layer may be the same as the polymeric material of the second polymer-based layer. The second polymer-based layer may further include a tungsten disulphide particulate.
