Patent number: 7361203Abstract: A bearing is manufactured by filling iron-based material powder and copper-based material powder in a filling portion of a mold, compacting those material powder so as to form a green compact, and then sintering the green compact. The copper-based material powder contains flat powder particles, the flat powder particles having a large aspect ratio than particles of the iron-based material powder. The coppers-based powder particles segregate on a sliding surface by vibration. The sliding surface of a bearing is covered with copper, and a ratio of iron increases from the sliding surface toward the inside. Since a rotation shaft slides on the sliding surface covered with copper, a frictional coefficient between the rotation shaft and the sliding surface is reduced, thus enabling a smooth rotation thereof. Simultaneously the usage of iron imparts predetermined strength and durability.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2003Date of Patent: April 22, 2008Assignee: Mitsubishi Materials CorporationInventors: Teruo Shimizu, Tsuneo Maruyama
