A slide member provided with an overlay composed of a Bi-based material. A slide member includes a substrate; and an overlay including Bi or a Bi alloy provided over the substrate. A surface portion (surface-most portion) of the overlay includes an oxide layer in which a bismuth oxide, is scattered. The content of the bismuth oxide in the oxide layer represented by oxygen content is equal to or greater than 0.5% mass % and equal to or less than 8.0 mass %. The orientation intensity ratio of the main orientation plane of Bi or Bi alloy crystals in the overlay is 50% or greater. The main orientation plane of the bismuth oxide crystals in the oxide layer is the (220) plane or the (201) plane. |
