Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A sliding member of the present invention includes a base material and a coating layer that is formed on the base material. The coating layer includes a particle aggregate, and the particle aggregate contains two or more kinds of precipitation hardened copper alloy particles that have different compositions. The sliding member has high coating strength and superior wear resistance.

First claim

1 .- 8 . (canceled) 9 . A sliding member comprising a base material and a coating layer that is formed on the base material, the coating layer including a particle aggregate, and the particle aggregate containing two or more kinds of precipitation hardened copper alloy particles having different compositions. 10 . The sliding member according to claim 9 , wherein at least one kind of the precipitation hardened copper alloy particles that form the particle aggregate, has Vickers hardness of from 150 Hv to 250 Hv. 11 . The sliding member according to claim 9 , wherein a difference in hardness between the two or more kinds of the precipitation hardened copper alloy particles is 200 Hv or smaller. 12 . The sliding member according to claim 9 , wherein the difference in hardness between the two or more kinds of the precipitation hardened copper alloy particles is 60 Hv or smaller. 13 . The sliding member according to claim 9 , wherein at least one of the base material and the coating layer includes a plastically deformed part. 14 . The sliding member according to claim 9 , including at least one of an amorphous substance and a nanocrystal at an interface between the particles that form the coating layer. 15 . The sliding member according to claim 9 , comprising an intermediate layer at least at a part between the base material and the coating layer, the intermediate layer containing at least one of a diffusion layer and an intermetallic compound layer. 16 . The sliding member according to claim 15 , wherein the intermediate layer has a film thickness of 2 μm or less. 17 . A sliding member of an internal combustion engine, comprising the sliding member according to claim 9 at a sliding part of the internal combustion engine. 18 . The sliding member according to claim 10 , wherein a difference in hardness between the two or more kinds of the precipitation hardened copper alloy particles is 200 Hv or smaller. 19 . The sliding member according to claim 10 , wherein the difference in hardness between the two or more kinds of the precipitation hardened copper alloy particles is 60 Hv or smaller.
