To provide a technique capable of realizing an appropriate wear resistance in a resin coating layer. The sliding member of the present invention is a sliding member including a base layer and a resin coating layer formed on the base layer, wherein the resin coating layer is formed of a polyamide-imide resin as a binder, barium sulfate particles, molybdenum disulfide particles, and unavoidable impurities, wherein the resin coating layer is composed of a plurality of overcoated application layers, and wherein the plurality of application layers are different from each other in content of hard particles.

Sliding member

A sliding member includes: a lining layer formed from an alloy having a predetermined shape; and an overlay layer formed on an inner circumferential surface of the lining layer, the overlay layer being formed of a resin, the overlay layer sliding with a shaft, the overlay layer including a raised portion a height of which in a predetermined area including each of an edge in an axial direction of the shaft is greater than a height of another area of the overlay layer.

Bearinghas lining layerthat is formed of an alloy having a predetermined shape and that has chamfered portion, and overlay layerthat is formed of a resin on an inner circumferential surface of lining layer, the inner circumferential surface sliding relative to a mating shaft, and that covers at least a portion of chamfered portion

The wear resistance and seizure resistance of the sliding material consisting of a metal backing, a Cu-based sintered layer, and resin and solid lubricant filled in the pores of the sintered layer are improved by determining the following features (a) multi-layer Cu particles; from 30 to 200 .mu.m of the diameter of the Cu particles; porosity of from 5 to 70% of the sintered layer; resin, MoS.sub.2 and graphite filled in the pores.
