Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided a technique which can realize both of conformability and fatigue resistance. A sliding member and a slide bearing include a base layer and a coating layer provided on the base layer and having a sliding surface on which a counter material slides, and are characterized in that the coating layer is formed of a soft material which is softer than that for the base layer; and that, in the sliding surface, crystal grains of the soft material having an average grain diameter of 0.1 μm or more and 1 μm or less are aggregated into lumps, thereby forming aggregates having an average diameter of 3 μm or more and 30 μm or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A sliding member comprising a base layer and a coating layer provided on the base layer and having a sliding surface on which a counter material slides, wherein the coating layer is formed of a soft material which is softer than that for the base layer; and in the sliding surface, crystal grains of the soft material having an average grain diameter of 0.1 μm or more and 1 μm or less are aggregated into lumps, thereby forming aggregates having an average diameter of 3 μm or more and 30 μm or less. 2. The sliding member according to claim 1 , wherein the soft material is Bi, Sn, Pb, In or Sb. 3. A slide bearing comprising a base layer and a coating layer provided on the base layer and having a sliding surface on which a counter material slides, wherein the coating layer is formed of a soft material which is softer than that for the base layer; and in the sliding surface, crystal grains of the soft material having an average grain diameter of 0.1 μm or more and 1 μm or less are aggregated into lumps, thereby forming aggregates having an average diameter of 3 μm or more and 30 μm or less.
