    Abstract: A sliding member includes a back-metal layer including an Fe alloy and a sliding layer including a copper alloy including 0.5 to 12 mass % of Sn and the balance of Cu and inevitable impurities. The sliding layer has a cross-sectional structure perpendicular to a sliding surface of the sliding layer. The cross-sectional structure includes first copper alloy grains that are in contact with a bonding surface of the back-metal layer and second copper alloy grains that are not in contact with the bonding surface. The first copper alloy grains has an average grain size D1 and the second copper alloy grains has an average grain size D2. D1 and D2 satisfy the following relations: D1 is 30 to 80 μm; and D1/D2=0.1 to 0.3.

    Abstract: A sliding member incudes a back-metal layer and a sliding layer made of a copper alloy. The back-metal layer is made of a hypoeutectoid steel including 0.07 to 0.35 mass % of carbon, and has a structure including a ferrite phase and pearlite. The back-metal layer includes a pore existing region including a plurality of closed pores having an average size of 1 to 10 μm. The pore existing region extends from the bonding surface toward an inner portion of the back-metal layer and having a thickness of 2 to 20 μm. At least a part of the plurality of closed pores has contour that is partially formed by the bonding surface in a cross-sectional view. A ratio V2/V1 of a total volume V2 of the closed pores to a volume V1 of the pore existing region is 0.02 to 0.08.

    Abstract: A resin coating layer has a shape line that indicates the shape of a surface and is divided by virtual straight lines parallel to the X axis and setting an area of recessed sections that protrudes below the virtual straight lines and an area of protruding sections that protrudes above the virtual straight lines. A virtual straight line at a position at which the area totals for the area of recessed sections and the area of protruding sections are equal is defined as the average line for unevenness. Areas that protrude downwards from this average line for unevenness are defined as recessed sections and areas that protrude above this average line for unevenness are defined as protruding sections. The average area Sa for one recessed section is 4-120 μm2 and the number M of recessed sections between two points having a distance of 1 mm therebetween is 3-20.

    Abstract: Provided is a partially-cylindrical sliding member including a sliding layer including fibrous particles having an average particle size of 5-25 μm dispersed in a synthetic resin at a volume ratio of 10-35% of the sliding layer. The particles having a major axis length ≤20 μm are included at a volume ratio of ≥10% to total particles. A sliding surface side area is defined from the sliding surface and has a thickness of 25% of a sliding layer thickness T, where the fibrous particles having a major axis length of ≥20 μm have a dispersion index of 1.1-6. An interface side area is defined from the interface and has a thickness of 25% of T, where the dispersion index is 1.1-6. An intermediate area is defined between the both areas, where the dispersion index is 0.1 to less than 1.

    Abstract: Provided is a semi-cylindrical shaped half bearing. The half bearing has an inner surface forming a sliding surface. The sliding surface includes a plurality of recesses. Each recess has a smooth recess surface recessed from the sliding surface toward an outer diameter side of the half bearing. The recess surface forms a convex curve toward the outer diameter side of the half bearing in a cross-sectional view in any direction perpendicular to the sliding surface. The recess surface includes a plurality of circumferential grooves. The circumferential grooves are recessed from the recess surface toward the outer diameter side of the half bearing. The circumferential grooves extend along a circumferential direction of the half bearing so that smooth surfaces and the circumferential grooves are alternately arranged on the recess surface.
