【0015】 上記において、添加粒子の表面の濡れ性を制御するには、当該表面へプラズマ処理やUV照射処理など、任意の処理方法を選択できる。 添加粒子の表面の濡れ性を制御してこれを高めることで、めっき液中において、添加粒子同士が凝集することが防止される。これにより、添加粒子の分散性が高まる。 めっき液中の添加粒子量はめっき液1L当たり15g~150gとすることが好ましい。更に好ましくは40g~120g/1Lである。これにより、ビスマス基オーバレイ層のマトリックスを構成する、ビスマス若しくはビスマス合金においてGOSが1度以下の結晶粒子を全結晶粒子の85%以上とすることが容易に達成できる。めっき液を充分に撹拌することが要求されるが、その撹拌条件をシビアに制御する必要は無かった。

Abstract

To provide a bismuth-based overlay layer having high fatigue resistance even when additive particles are included.SOLUTION: A bismuth-based overlay layer for a sliding member comprises a polycrystalline matrix containing crystal particles composed of a material containing bismuth or a bismuth alloy, and additive particles dispersed in the matrix. The matrix includes a region where crystal particles having a Grain Orientation Spread (GOS) of 1 degree or less account for 85% or more of all crystal particles.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
