Abstract: A transfer roll rotates to have a coating liquid in a coating liquid tank filled in recesses formed on a roll surface thereof and to have a surplus coating liquid scraped off by a doctor blade, and rotates contacting with a coating roll. Thereby, the coating liquid in the recesses of the transfer roll is transferred to the coating roll. Thereafter, while the transfer roll is moved upward, an arm is rotated counterclockwise whereby the coating roll is separated from the transfer roll. The arm is further rotated whereby the coating roll is moved along an inner surface of a half bearing fixed to a jig and the coating roll applies the coating liquid to the inner surface of the half bearing.

The Sn-and-Si-rich layer have the sliding surface having an area ratio of Sn phase grains in a range of 6 to 40% and that of Si phase grains in a range of 5 to 25%.

Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide a sliding member which exhibits an excellent anti-seizure property even under starved lubricant conditions. In the present invention, there is provided a sliding member with a structure, in which a coating layer having a sliding surface is adhered to the surface of the base material, wherein the coating layer does not contain a resin binder but has solid lubricant plate crystal particles laminated therein, wherein these solid lubricant plate crystal particles have a lamellar crystal structure in which (001) planes are stacked in parallel, and at least in the sliding surface, the orientation index of the (001) plane of the solid lubricant plate crystal particles is 90% or more.

Abstract: A sliding member has a coating layer deposited on a base material through an intermediate layer, wherein the intermediate layer is formed of a lead-free metal, and the coating layer is formed of Bi or a lead-free Bi alloy; and wherein a grain in the intermediate layer becomes gradually large toward a coating layer side from a base material side, and a grain in the coating layer forms a columnar grain of which the major axis directs toward the surface of the coating layer from the intermediate layer side. Thus formed configuration improves a bonding strength between the base material and the coating layer owing to the intermediate layer, and has the grain of the coating layer formed into a desirable shape for bearing a load from an opposite material to improve fatigue resistance.

Abstract: A sliding member comprises an overlay layer that is formed on a copper alloy layer including a second phase composition. The copper alloy layer and the overlay layer have an interface therebetween, and the second phase composition is included in the copper alloy layer except the interface.

Abstract: A sliding member has a sliding alloy layer, an intermediate layer of Ni or a Ni alloy formed on the sliding alloy layer, and a soft layer of Sn or a Sn alloy formed on the intermediate layer. A recess is formed on the sliding side surface of the sliding alloy layer. The intermediate layer is formed on the inner surface of the recess. The sliding member is subjected to a heat treatment, whereby there are formed intermetallic compounds in the soft layer, which extend protrudently from the intermediate layer.

Abstract: In a sliding member, a coating layer containing a binder resin and a solid lubricant is formed on a surface of a bearing alloy layer or a base material. A flaky metal is added as a thermally conductive filler to the coating layer. The flaky metals are close to one another, or in contact with one another to form a heat transfer path which transfers heat of the surface of the coating layer to the base material. The thermal conductivity of the coating layer is set to 0.4 W/m·K or more, so that the heat generated on the surface of the coating layer due to rotation of a mating shaft is easily released to a bearing alloy layer 1 side, the reduction in strength of the coating layer can be suppressed, and conformability and anti-seizing property are enhanced.
