Abstract
A sliding material includes a resin, first particles disposed in the resin and composed of an inorganic material, and second particles disposed in the resin and composed of an inorganic material whose Vickers hardness is higher than a Vickers hardness of the first particles. When a value obtained by dividing a Vickers hardness of the second particles by the Vickers hardness of the first particles is defined as a hardness ratio and when a value obtained by dividing a contained amount of the first particles with respect to the resin by a contained amount of the second particles with respect to the resin is defined as a content ratio, a value obtained by dividing the hardness ratio by the content ratio is greater than or equal to 0.3 and less than or equal to 2.8.
