There are provided a solid lubricant having an island-and-sea structure, which, with the sea phase strengthened, remains free of troubles such as chipping even in use under high load conditions, and a sliding member having the solid lubricant embedded therein. The solid lubricant comprises 1 to 10% by volume of a polyethylene resin, 20 to 60% by volume of a hydrocarbon-based wax, 10 to 60% by volume of melamine cyanurate, 5 to 15% by volume of a polyamide resin, and 2 to 10% by volume of a modified polyethylene resin. The sliding member has the solid lubricant embedded in pores or grooves formed in a sliding surface of the sliding member body. |
