A slide member of the present invention is a slide member having a substrate ( 10 ) made of a metal; and a sliding layer ( 20 ) of a resinous powder being sintered integrally on at least one of the surfaces of the substrate ( 10 ), and is characterized in that it includes a solid-lubricant powder in the sliding layer ( 20 ). Further, it can be one having an intermediate layer, which intervenes between the substrate ( 10 ) and the sliding layer ( 20 ), and which is composed of a metal differing from that of the substrate ( 10 ). The slide member of the present invention is such that the adhesiveness is high, and has good sliding characteristics. n Moreover, a production process of the present invention for a slide member is characterized in that it has: a laminating step of forming a powdery sliding layer, which is composed of a resinous powder and a solid-lubricant powder at least, on at least one of the surfaces of a substrate layer, which is composed of a metal; and a sintering step of sintering the substrate layer with the powdery sliding layer integrally. In accordance with this production process, it is possible to make a slide member, which has the substrate ( 10 ) and the sliding layer ( 20 ) at least. In accordance with the production process of the present invention for a slide member, it is possible to produce a slide member whose adhesiveness is high and which has good sliding characteristics. |
