Abstract: A sliding material sliding material includes: a sliding plane member; a base member made of a material different from that of the sliding plane member; an intermediate member provided between the sliding plane member and the base member and formed with a plurality of spaces; and a joining member for bonding the intermediate member to the base member, in which a portion of the space formed to the intermediate member is impregnated with a portion of the sliding plane member so that the sliding plane member is bonded to the intermediate member, and a residual portion of the space of the intermediate member is impregnated with a portion of the joining member so that the base member is bonded to the intermediate member with the joining member therebetween.

Abstract: A sliding material includes a sliding surface member, a base member made of a material different from the sliding surface member, a bonding material layer disposed between the sliding surface member and the base member so as to bond the sliding surface member and the base member, and a sheet member made of an electromagnetic induction heating material. The sliding material is manufactured by bonding the sliding surface member and the base member by heating and melting the bonding material layer through electromagnetic induction heating of the sheet member.

Abstract: A composite material has plate 4 having holes and a bonded to a first member to form an intermediate layer, and a second member which is made of a material different from the first member 1 laminated onto the intermediate layer 2 while charging a portion of the second member 5 into the holes 3 of the intermediate layer 5 to form a composite material 6. The holes 3 of the plate 4 which forms the intermediate layer 2 have a shape in such that the charged second member exerts a resisting force against a tensile stress applied in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the first member 1, e.g., a shape having a first hole opened on the side of the second member and a second hole communicated with the first hole and having a space not overlapped with the first hole, or a shape that an opened area on the side of the second member is smaller than that on the side of the first member.
