<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a metal composite material capable of exhibiting high wear resistance and durability when being composed as a sliding member, and to provide a method for producing the metal composite material. <P>SOLUTION: A porous preform 1 comprising porous aluminum borate particles 3 is impregnated with a molten metal under pressure, so as to be a metal composite material 10 in which the metal is filled into pores 3a of the aluminum borate particles 3. The metal composite material 10 has high strength and hardness since the metal base material and the aluminum borate particles 3 are firmly coupled, and thus can exhibit excellent wear resistance when being applied as a sliding member. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
