  • Slide member
    Patent number: 7176166
    Abstract: The present invention intends to provide a slide member with increasing an abrasion resistance and an adherence, a friction coefficient is further decreased. A part of the base member surface of the slide member is provided with a streak so that a surface roughness thereof by a ten-point height of roughness profile is 8 to 18 ?mRz. A dry coat lubricant has polyamideimide resin, at least one kind of a layer improve agent selected from epoxysilane and epoxy resin, and at least one kind of hard particles selected from a silicon nitride and an alumina. Such construction can not only increase the abrasion resistance and the adherence of the slide member, but can decrease friction coefficient of the slide member.
