Disclosed is a copper alloy sliding material comprising 0.5 to 15 mass % Sn and 0.1 to 10 vol % of hard particles consisting of one or more selected from WC, W2C and Mo2C. The hard particles have preferably an average particle size of 0.1 to 10 mum, whereby they are dispersed in the copper alloy matrix so as to make the sliding-contact surface uneven, from which the hard particles protrude partially. The sliding material comprises an amount or a total amount of not more than 40 mass % of one or more selected from Ni, Ag, Fe, Al, Zn, Mn, Co, Si and P, an amount or a total amount of not more than 10 mass % of Bi and/or Pb, and/or an amount or a total amount of not more than 10 vol % of a solid lubricant comprising BN, graphite, MoS2 and/or WS2. |
