A sliding element is provided to improve wear resistance and sticking resistance properties by using bismuth or bismuth alloy having a desired orientation where a lattice surface having the largest X -ray diffraction intensity is represented as a miller index(012). A sliding element includes a supporting member and a sliding layer as a sliding bearing. A bearing metal layer is placed between the supporting member and the sliding layer. The sliding layer is manufactured in bismuth or bismuth alloy having a desired orientation representing a lattice surface having the largest X-ray diffraction intensity in comparison with those of the other lattice surfaces as a miller index(012). The maximum X-ray diffraction intensity of the lattice surface having the second largest X-ray diffraction intensity is 10% of the X-ray diffraction intensity of the lattice surface. |
