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

In sliding bearing, wherein an overlay, which consists of at least one solid lubricant and a binder resin, covers an aluminum-alloy bearing layer bonded on backing metal, the overlay consists of an upper layer, which contains the solid lubricant essentially consisting of MoS , and a lower layer, which contains one or both of solid lubricant and hard additive. The solid lubricant of the lower layer is MoS and its content is relatively lower than in the upper layer.

Sliding bearing

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.
