  • Patent number: 9017599
    Abstract: There is provided a sliding part in which a surface coverage ratio of copper in the sliding part increases. A bearing which is the sliding part is formed by filling the raw powder into the filling portion of the forming mold, compacting the raw powder to form a powder compact, which is sintered. A copper-based raw powder is composed of a copper-based flat raw powder whose diameter is smaller than that of an iron-based raw powder and an aspect ratio larger than that of the iron-based raw powder, and a copper-based small-sized raw powder whose diameter is smaller than that of the copper-based flat raw powder. The copper is allowed to segregate at the surface of the sliding part. The surface of the bearing is covered with the copper-based small-sized raw powder and the copper-based flat raw powder, thereby the surface coverage ratio of copper can be increased.

  • Patent number: 8449815
    Abstract: There is provided an oil-impregnated sintered bearing which enable to prevent oil leakage from an outer peripheral surface of an bearing body. The oil-impregnated sintered bearing includes a bearing body which is made of a porous sintered alloy containing vacancies and has a bearing hole in which a rotary shaft can be inserted, wherein the vacancies opened on an outer peripheral surface of the bearing body are crushed. The vacancies may be crushed in the state of a green compact, or in the state of a sintered alloy after sintering the green compact. Consequently, the oil leakage from the outer peripheral surface of the bearing can be prevented, and oil pressure in the bearing hole can be preserved.
