Verbund-Gleitelement und Verfahren zu seiner Herstellung

摘要

A sliding member has a backing metal 1 and a sliding layer 2 consisting of a lead-containing copper alloy being bonded to the backing metal, the alloy comprising 5 to 40% by weight of lead, the lead being present as particles, 80% or more of which have a diameter of 50 microns or less. Preferably, there is a uniform and fine distribution of the lead particles in the copper alloy matrix. A method to produce the sliding members comprises using an atomised powder in which lead particles are finely and uniformly distributed in the alloy matrix Fig 7 and forming the sliding layer as a cladding layer using a plasma arc welding apparatus.
