Patent number: 9683603Abstract: In a method, in which a plain bearing alloy layer is bonded to a surface of a backing steel sheet, and, a Bi-based overlay layer is then deposited on the plain bearing alloy layer by electroplating, replacement of Bi with the backing steel sheet and deposition of Bi on the backing steel sheet are prevented. Prior to the step of electroplating of the Bi-based overlay layer, the following metals and the like are formed on at least the back surface of the backing steel sheet. An electrochemically more noble metal than Bi, an electrochemically more base metal than Bi and capable of forming a passivation state, or resin.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2009Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: TAIHO KOGYO CO., LTD.Inventors: Hitoshi Wada, Shigeyuki Suga, Takashi Tomikawa

Patent number: 8440322Abstract: The copper alloy (lining) prevails in an overwhelmingly large amount in a plain-bearing layer structure. Cu of the plain bearing copper-alloy diffuses into the Sn-based overlay diffuses into the Sn-based overlay and detrimentally impairs the performance of the overlay. The present invention takes a measure against this problem. An Sn-based overlay having a thickness of 3 to 19 ?m is deposited by electro-plating without an intermediate layer for diffusion prevention on a plain-bearing layer, which contains Sn and Ni in a total amount of more than 4 mass % to 20 mass % (the minimum amount of Sn is 4 mass %) and has a hardness of Hv 150 or less.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2008Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: Taiho Kogyo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shigeyuki Suga, Hitoshi Wada, Takashi Tomikawa

Publication number: 20110124535Abstract: [Task] In a method, in which a plain bearing alloy layer 3 is bonded to a surface of a backing steel sheet 1, and, a Bi-based overlay layer 10 is then deposited on the plain bearing alloy layer 3 by electroplating, replacement of Bi with the backing steel sheet 1 and deposition of Bi on the backing steel sheet 1 are prevented. [Solution Means] Prior to the step of electroplating of said Bi-based overlay layer 10, the following metals and the like are formed on at least the back surface of said backing steel sheet 1. An electrochemically more noble metal 2 than Bi, an electrochemically more base metal 2 than Bi and capable of forming a passivation state, or resin 4.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2009Publication date: May 26, 2011Applicant: TAIHO KOGYO CO., LTD.Inventors: Hitoshi Wada, Shigeyuki Suga, Takashi Tomikawa
