Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Seizure resistance and wear resistance of Cu—Bi—In copper-alloy sliding material are enhanced by forming a soft phase of as pure as possible Bi. Mixed powder of Cu—In cuprous alloy powder and Cu—Bi containing Cu-based alloy powder is used. A sintering condition is set such that Bi moves outside particles of said Cu—Bi containing Cu-based powder and forms a Bi grain-boundary phase free of In, and In diffuses from said Cu—In containing Cu-based powder to said Cu—Bi containing Cu-based powder.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A sintered copper-alloy sliding material comprising, by mass percentage, from 0.3 to 15% of In and from 0.5 to 30% of Bi, balance comprising Cu and inevitable impurities, comprising a sintered structure comprising a Cu matrix and a Bi phase consisting of a grain-boundary phase free of In, and being free of an In-concentrated region in the Cu matrix, wherein said sintered copper-alloy sliding material is produced by mixing powder comprising a Cu—In compr…
