Slide surface construction having oriented F.C.C. metal layer

摘要

A slide surface construction is formed of an aggregate of Ni crystals having a face-centered cubic structure. The aggregate includes {311} oriented Ni crystals with their {311} planes (by Miller indices) oriented toward a slide surface. The content S of the {311} oriented Ni crystals is set in a range represented by S>/=40%. The {311} oriented Ni crystals are of a quadrangular pyramid shape on the slide surface, and provide good oil retention for the slide surface construction. Thus, the slide surface construction exhibits an excellent seizure resistance.
