[Task] In a sliding member comprising a substrate and a coating layer provided thereon, the coating layer has a sliding surface and is formed of a resin-based coating and particles of a solid lubricant dispersed therein. The orientation ratio of (001) plane of the solid lubricant is enhanced. [Means for Solution] The coating layer of a sliding layer has an average thickness of 3 &#x3bc;m or less. The particles of the solid lubricant have 2 &#x3bc;m or more of an average particle diameter as measured by the laser diffraction method. The solid lubricant dispersed has 90% or more of relative C-axis intensity ratio.

Sliding member

[Task] The solid-lubricant layer applied on the surface of Al or Cu-based bearing alloy is improved so as to satisfactorily demonstrate the properties of the solid lubricant. [Means for Solution] The solid lubricant dispersed in the solid-lubricant solid-lubricant layer exhibits 85% or more of the relative C axis intensity ratio defined below. The relative C axis intensity ratio=the accumulative intensity of (002), (004) and (008) planes relative to the accumulative intensity of (002), (004), (100), (101), (102), (103), (105), (110) and (008) planes detected by X ray diffraction.

A helical grooveB is formed in the sliding surfaceA of a sliding bearingover the entire axial region thereof. To establish the height of a peaka defined by the helical grooveB, an imaginary reference line L extending parallel to the axis is formed which is determined such that the total cross-sectional area of all the peaksa is equal to the total cross-sectional area of all the valleysb when the helical grooveB is considered in axial section. A height, as measured from the reference line L to the topa' of the peaka is chosen in the range of from 1 to 8 &#x3bc;m. The space created by forming the valleysb allows the supply of lubricant oil to be increased, thereby simultaneously achieving a reduction in the frictional resistance and the occurrence of an impact sound.

Sliding bearing

A slide bearing is described with a bearing metal layer on copper basis as applied to a carrier and a running layer made of an alloy of aluminum and tin which is applied physically onto the bearing metal layer in vacuum. In order to combine favorable resistance against wearing with a low inclination towards jamming with advantageous tribological properties it is proposed that the bearing metal layer consists of an alloy with 4 to 8% by weight of tin, 0.6 to 1% by weight of silver, 1 to 2% by weight of an iron phosphide and 0 to 0.15% by weight of carbon, preferably in the form of graphite, and the remainder of copper.

Slide bearing

A method of producing a fine TiC particle-dispersing type Al&#x2014;Sn based aluminum alloy includes the steps of: preparing either Al mother-alloy or metallic raw materials of the Al alloy and a green compact, in which TiC is dispersed; melting the Al mother-alloy or the metallic raw materials of the Al alloy to form an Al alloy melt; bringing the Al alloy melt and the green compact, in which TiC is dispersed, into contact with one another, thereby dispersing the TiC in the Al-alloy melt; casting the Al alloy melt, in which TiC is dispersed, into an aluminum-alloy ingot, in which TiC is dispersed; and rolling the aluminum-alloy ingot.

Production method of aluminum alloy for sliding bearing

A sliding bearing for an internal combustion engine including a copper-based bearing alloy including silver and tin upon which an overlay is applied. The overlay comprises resin and MoS , and the adherence of the overlay to the alloy is enhanced by a roughened alloy surface formed of grooves extending in the sliding direction.

Sliding bearing for internal combustion engine

Aluminum alloy, which consists of from 2 to 20% by weight of Sn, from 3% by weight or less of Cu, and from 0.3 to 5% by volume of TiC particles, the balance being Al and unavoidable impurities, exhibits improved fatigue resistance at a high temperature region, while maintaining compatibility at low temperature notwithstanding improved fatigue resistance.
