Abstract
A sliding mechanismincludes a first sliding memberand a partner second sliding memberconfigured to slide relative to the first sliding member. The first sliding memberincludes a matrix phaseand a hard phasethat is harder than the matrix phase, in which the hard phaseis embedded in the matrix phasein a dispersed state. The second sliding memberincludes a baseand a surface-treatment layerthat is formed on the sliding surfaceof the baseand is harder than the matrix phase
