  • Lead-free sintered lubricating material and sinter powder for manufacture of the same
    Patent number: 8703660
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lead-free sliding bearing material having a Cu-based or CuSn-based sintered matrix and a solid lubricant. The solid lubricant contains hexagonal boron nitride in a fine-grained distribution with a mean particle size of 10 ?m or less, wherein agglomerates of the particles of hexagonal boron nitride are not greater than 200 ?m. The invention also relates to a sintering powder for producing the sliding bearing material, a sliding bearing composite material having a steel protective layer and a bearing layer composed of such a sintered-on sliding bearing material. The invention also relates to a sliding element composed of a sliding bearing composite material of the type mentioned above.
