Abstract:
There are provided a copper-based sintered sliding material comprising a steel back metal layer, and a sintered layer made of Cu or a Cu-based alloy which is bonded onto the steel back metal layer, the steel back metal layer having a hardness not less than 160 Hv and an elongation not less than 10%, the sintered layer having a hardness not more than 130 Hv and crystal grains each provided with a grain size not more than 45 nullm, a method of producing the sliding material, and a sliding bearing formed of the sliding material.
Abstract:
In order to improve conformability of a sliding surface of a sliding member in an early state of sliding, there is provided a sliding member in which a plurality of holes are formed on a sliding surface, and the diameters (or the opening area) of the holes on the sliding surface are arranged so as to become gradually large as it gets closer to both ends in an axial direction from the center side in the axial direction. This feature decreases the pressurized area as it gets closer to the ends of the sliding surface so that it wears at an early stage, whereby a conformed surface following the deflection of a mating member is provided.
Abstract:
The invention provides a sliding member including a plurality of holes formed on a sliding surface thereof, which sliding surface is adapted to slide on a mating member, at least one of the holes having an enlarged portion in at least a portion between an opening end and a bottom end thereof, the enlarged portion being larger than the opening end on the sliding surface.
Abstract:
A sliding member has a sliding alloy layer, an intermediate layer of Ni or a Ni alloy formed on the sliding alloy layer, and a soft layer of Sn or a Sn alloy formed on the intermediate layer. A recess is formed on the sliding side surface of the sliding alloy layer. The intermediate layer is formed on the inner surface of the recess. The sliding member is subjected to a heat treatment, whereby there are formed intermetallic compounds in the soft layer, which extend protrudently from the intermediate layer.
Abstract:
A plain bearing comprising a backing alloy made of copper alloy or aluminum alloy, a coat layer of synthetic resin formed on the surface of a backing alloy, and a thin film of polytetrafluoroethylene formed on the surface of the coat layer has a lower coefficient friction, improved conformability and distinguished sliding characteristics.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a sliding member having a bearing alloy layer, an intermediate layer of Ni or a Ni alloy formed on the bearing alloy layer, and an overlay layer of a Sn alloy containing Cu formed on the intermediate layer. There exist SnnullCu compounds in the overlay layer, which protrudently extend from the intermediate layer. The hard SnnullCu compounds contribute to the overlay layer in improving fatigue resistance property. A soft Sn matrix being rich in an outer surface region of the overlay layer is responsible for keeping good conformability to have excellent anti-seizure property.

A copper base alloy suitable for use as a material for a sliding member used under severe sliding conditions such as a floating bush bearing of a turbocharger used in automobiles is disclosed. The alloy consists of, by mass %, 15 to 25% Zn, 4.2 to 10% Bi, 2 to 7% Mn, 1 to 3% Si and balance of Cu and unavoidable impurities, the alloy having a structure of which matrix is composed of null-single phase, wherein a eutectic structure of the null-phase and an MnnullSi compound and Bi particle are distributed throughout the matrix.
Abstract:
A multilayer material comprising a backing material (10) and a obverse material (12) made of a metal different from the backing material, said obverse material being bonded to the backing material, said obverse material having a rapidly cooled dendrite structure extended substantially vertically to the backing material, said dendrite structure having a grain size not more than 0.02 mm in a cutting plane in parallel to the backing material and/or a dendrite arm spacing not more than 0.02 mm in a cutting plane vertical to the backing material.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a multi-layered plain bearing which comprises a steel back, an intermediate layer made of an aluminum alloy and an aluminum-base bearing alloy layer comprising one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Cu, Zn, Mg and Si. The aluminum-base bearing alloy layer is bonded to the steel back via the intermediate layer and subsequently subjected to a solid solution treatment at a temperature of not lower than 400null C. The adjacent region of the intermediate layer to the steel back consists of, by mass, 2% to 8% of Si, and the balance of Al and incidental impurities.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a multilayer material including a back metal and a metal plate made from a metal differing from the back metal is disclosed. The method includes heating powder of the metal formed into the metal plate in a reducing atmosphere so that an oxide on a surface of the metal powder is deoxidized, and spreading the deoxidized metal powder onto the back metal and irradiating laser beam having an energy density of 10 to 100 kW/cm2 onto the metal powder spread on the back metal so that the metal powder is partially heated to be melted, while the laser beam is moved relative to the spread metal powder, and quenching the melted part of the metal powder at an underside of the back metal so that the melted part is rapidly solidified, whereupon the multilayer material has a dendritic structure in which the metal plate extends substantially vertically from a surface of the back metal, and the dendritic structure has a crystal grain size equal to or smaller than 0.02 mm at a cut surface thereof parallel to a surface of the back metal and/or a dendritic arm spacing equal to or smaller than 0.02 mm at a cut surface thereof vertical to the surface of the back metal.
