SLIDING MEMBER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sliding member with reduced friction loss on a sliding surface under a non-lubricated condition or a friction environment condition with less oil film compared to a conventional low friction material such as isotropic graphite and having good wear resistance compared with when highly oriented graphite is used on the entire sliding surface. SOLUTION: A surface (side A) 15 comprising a highly oriented specific graphite 17 in which the half-value width is equal to or less than 7°in a rocking curve at a graphite -2H 002 diffraction position by X-ray diffraction measurement, and a surface (side B) 16 comprising an alloy more superior in wear resistance than the highly oriented specific graphite, are provided toward the sliding direction in parallel with the sliding direction at a portion of a skirt part 13 which is the sliding surface.
