Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention discloses a sliding member, comprised of a base layer including soft particles made of a soft material softer than a matrix and deposited in the matrix, and a soft layer made of the soft material formed on a surface of the base layer, wherein: the soft layer includes an epitaxial growth portion that is epitaxially grown from the soft particles.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A sliding member comprising: a base layer comprising soft particles made of a soft material deposited in a matrix; and a soft layer made of the soft material, wherein the soft material is softer than the matrix, wherein the soft layer is formed on a surface of base layer, and wherein the soft layer comprises an epitaxial growth portion that is comprises epitaxially grown from the soft particles, wherein the matrix is made of Cu alloy; and the soft material is Bi. 2. A sliding bearing comprising: a base layer comprising soft particles made of a soft material deposited in a matrix; and a soft layer made of the soft material, wherein the soft material is softer than the matrix, wherein the soft layer is formed on a surface of the base layer, and wherein the soft layer comprises an epitaxial growth portion that comprises epitaxially grown soft particles, wherein the matrix is made of Cu alloy; and the soft material is Bi.
