A metallic sliding material having excellent seizing resistance and abrasion resistance include an inorganic compound coating layer formed on a aluminum alloy layer, which may be reinforced by ceramic fibers or particles, of a support member, and including at least one selected from molybdenum compounds, tungsten compounds and chromium compounds in an amount of 2 to 70% by weight in terms of the metals, optionally an aluminum compound and a phosphorus compound, and the balance consisting of oxygen. The inorganic compound coating layer can be formed by a chemical conversion treatment method or an electrolytic treatment method wherein the sliding surface serves as a cathode. |
