  • Patent number: 8076007
    Abstract: A multilayered sliding member has a resin composition filled in pores of, and coated on the surface of, a porous sintered metal layer 2 formed on the surface of a metallic backing plate 1. The resin composition is formed by compounding a phosphate, a carbon black, a melt moldable fluororesin, and a PTFE serving as a principal component, and is preferably formed by further containing graphite and/or a low molecular weight PTFE.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20100047612
    Abstract: [Problem] As a multi-layered sliding member aimed at applications in high temperature regions, there has been proposed slide sheet components each having a metal mesh component such as an expanded metal or wire mesh and an expanded graphite integrated therewith, but a problem remains in the strength when applied to sliding members such as bearings, allowing only a limited range of applications. It is therefore a subject of the present invention to provide a multi-layered sliding member suitable for applications under high temperatures under which lubricating oils or synthetic resins are not adoptable, and to provide a method of manufacturing the same.
