Abstract: A resin composition for use in a sliding member, which has higher seizing resistance while maintaining abrasion resistance. The sliding resin composition includes: a resin binder; a solid lubricant; and a protecting and reinforcing agent that is harder and brittler than the resin binder. As the protecting and reinforcing agent, aggregates of particles harder than the resin binder are used. The amount of the protecting and reinforcing agent contained is 1 vol. % or more but 20 vol. % or less of the entire sliding resin composition. The particles harder than the resin binder have an average particle diameter of 10 nm or more but 100 nm or less that is smaller than that of the solid lubricant.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a sliding member for an internal-combustion engine of an automobile or the like. The sliding member has excellent sliding properties due to high oleophilicity of its sliding surface achieved by adjusting the surface texture of a resin layer forming the sliding surface, which makes it possible to effectively prevent wear or seizure of the sliding member and a counterpart sliding member thereof. The sliding member includes a resin layer provided on a surface of a base material, in which the resin layer has a surface roughness of 1.05 or more, preferably 1.07 or more. The mean spacing (s) between local peaks of the resin layer may be in the range of 2 μm or more but 12 μm or less, but may be preferably in the range of 2 μm or more but 10 μm or less. Further, the mean height (Rc) of the resin layer may be in the range of 0.5 μm or more but 5.0 μm or less, but may be preferably in the range of 0.5 μm or more but 3.0 μm or less.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a sliding member that has a coating layer serving as a sliding surface thereof so that even when foreign matter enters between the coating layer and a partner member, smoothness between them is maintained to prevent the occurrence of seizing. When the coating layer has an elastic recovery ratio of less than 60%, foreign matter that has entered between the coating layer and the sliding surface of a partner member is efficiently embedded in the coating layer. When the coating layer is formed of a resin composition, the resin composition contains a binder resin, a solid lubricant, and metal particles having a Young's modulus of 10 GPa or more but 100 GPa or less.

Abstract: A sliding member includes a resin overlay layer on a sliding-surface side of a bearing alloy layer. The resin layer includes a resin binder and 20% by volume or more of solid lubricant particles with an anisotropic shape dispersed in the resin binder. The sliding surface is located at 0° and has a virtual axis perpendicular to the sliding surface at 90°. An angle θ is formed by a straight line and a major axis of the particles. The total number of the particles in a observation region is N. A rate R1=N1/N of the number N1 of first particles at the angle θ of 70°≤θ≤90° from among the particles is 3%≤R1≤20%, and a rate R2=N2/N of the number N2 of second particles with the angle θ being θ≤20° is 35%≤R2≤65%.
