Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a highly heat-resistant sliding member for thrust bearing which can be manufactured at a low cost through formation of an intermediate layer by a conversion treating method for cost reduction, includes a chemical conversion coating formed on an iron-base member and a resin film containing a thermosetting resin and a solid lubricant which is formed on the chemical conversion coating, and can resist to high temperatures of 200° C. or higher. And the invention is concerned with the sliding member for thrust bearing, characterized by including an iron-base member performed shot blast treatment on which the chemical conversion coating of zinc calcium phosphate is formed and a resin film containing a thermosetting resin requiring baking at temperatures of 200° C. or higher and the solid lubricant is further formed.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a composition for a sliding member capable of forming a lubricating film which does not occur large cracks in the lubricating film formed even if the formed lubricating film is pressed and slid, large peeling off of the lubricating film is restrained from occurring, and improved in abrasion resistance. The invention provides the composition for the sliding member containing a base resin and nano metal particles softer than the counterpart material of sliding, wherein the content of the soft nano metal particles is 5 vol % or less.

Abstract: A slide member which is excellent in the initial running-in property and can provide an excellent sliding property even under a strict sliding condition and, in particular, a slide member with a solid lubrication coating film which is excellent not only in the friction property but also in the wear resistance under the fluid lubrication, boundary lubrication and dry lubrication conditions. The slide member includes a solid lubrication coating film on a flat-plate-shaped base member, characterized in that, in the surface of the slide member, there are formed a plurality of concentrical grooves extending in the peripheral direction of the slide member surface, and, between the mutually adjoining ones of the grooves, there are formed ridge portions respectively.

Abstract: The sliding properties of a sliding material which comprises fluorine-plastic and binder resin are improved, such that it withstands high speed and high load and varying sliding conditions from the lubricating-oil free condition to the lubricating-oil condition and vice versa. A novel sliding material comprises fluorine-plastic particles having a flat ratio of from 1.5 to 10 in terms of an average aspect ratio and binder resin.
