Sliding member.

摘要

Disclosed is a sliding member having a predetermined shape and including: a sintered body obtained by sintering a composite body including: preliminarily carbonized carbonaceous fiber; inorganic powder or inorganic fiber; and self-sintering carbonaceous powder with the preliminarily carbonized carbonaceous fiber and the inorganic powder or the inorganic fiber buried therein. The sliding member has a high and stable friction coefficient ( mu ), high strength, excellent abrasion resistance, and is manufacturable at a low cost. Further, the friction coefficient ( mu ) and the other properties of the sliding member can be controlled depending on an application of a sliding member by selecting an optimum inorganic powder or inorganic fiber. Particularly, when boron compound powder is selected as the inorganic powder, the friction coefficient ( mu ) of the sliding member can be suppressed to 0.15 or less, and the load at seizure thereof can be improved to 100 kgf/cm<2> or more.
