CONDUCTIVE SLIDE MEMBER, MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF, AND ALTERNATOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a conductive slide member which is capable of suppressing exfoliation of a base material and a conductive layer and improves slidability and conductivity.SOLUTION: The conductive slide member comprises: a base material containing carbon fibers and graphite in a matrix; and one or more conductive layers which are disposed in the base material in a layered state, contain a metal as a main component and regularly include a plurality of openings that penetrate from a front side to a rear side. The conductive layer is embedded in the base material in such a manner that the plurality of openings are filled with the materials that form the base material, and end faces of the one or more conductive layers are exposed at least on a sliding surface. It is preferable that the one or more conductive layers are disposed substantially vertically to the sliding surface. It is also preferable that the conductive layer is formed by arranging wires in a stripe shape or a mesh shape. It is further preferable that the wire is disposed to be tilted relatively to the sliding surface. It is preferable that the plurality of conductive layers are disposed substantially in parallel and at substantially equal intervals. It is also preferable that the metal is copper or copper alloy.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
