Abstract

Abstract A multilayered sliding material of lead bronze containing graphite in the form of a bimetal, comprising a steel plate or a steel plate having a copper plating coating and a sintered copper alloy bonded to the steel plate, the sintered copper alloy having a composition consisting of 5 to 16 wt % Sn, 2 to 20 wt % Pb, 0.03 to 1 wt % P, 0.5 to 3.9 wt % graphite, and the balance Cu, wherein hardness of the alloy exceeds Hv 100.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim 86 words
A multilayered sliding material of lead bronze containing graphite in the form of a bimetal, comprising of a steel plate or a steel plate having a copper plating coating and a sintered copper alloy bonded to said steel plate, said sintered copper alloy having a composition consisting of 5 to 16 wt% Sn, 2 to 20 wt% Pb, 0.03 to 1 wt% P, 0.5 to 3.9 wt% graphite, and the balance Cu and incidental impurities, wherein hardness of said alloy is not less than Hv 100.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 90 words
A multilayered sliding material of lead bronze containing graphite in the form of a bimetal, comprising a steel plate or a steel plate having a copper plating coating and a sintered copper alloy bonded to said steel plate, said sintered copper alloy having a composition consisting of 5 to 16 wt% Sn, 1 to 8 wt% Ni, 2 to 20 wt% Pb, 0.03 to 1 wt% P, 0.5 to 3.9 wt% graphite, and the balance Cu and incidental impurities, wherein hardness of said alloy is not less than Hv 100.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 90 words
A multilayered sliding material of lead bronze containing graphite in the form of a bimetal, comprising a steel plate or a steel plate having a copper plating coating and a sintered copper alloy bonded to said steel plate, said sintered copper alloy having a composition consisting of 5 to 16 wt% Sn, 1 to 8 wt% Ni, 2 to 20 wt% Pb, 0.03 to 1 wt% P, 0.5 to 3.9 wt% graphite, and the balance Cu and incidental impurities, wherein hardness of said alloy is not less than Hv 100.
Claim 5
Independent Claim 101 words
A method of producing a multilayered sliding material of lead bronze containing graphite in the form of a bimetal comprising the steps of preparing a mixture powder of both lead bronze powder passing through 200 mesh and graphite powder passing through 350 mesh, disposing the mixture powder on a surface of a steel plate or a steel plate having a plating coating such as copper, performing at least one sintering and at least one rolling step, and effecting a final rolling at a relatively high rolling reduction in order to obtain more than 100 vickers hardness of the sintered copper alloy.
Claim 6
Independent Claim 101 words
A method of producing a multilayered sliding material of lead bronze containing graphite in the form of a bimetal comprising the steps of preparing a mixture powder of both lead bronze powder passing through 200 mesh and graphite powder passing through 350 mesh, disposing the mixture powder on a surface of a steel plate or a steel plate having a plating coating such as copper, performing at least one sintering and at least one rolling step, and effecting a final rolling at a relatively high rolling reduction in order to obtain more than 100 vickers hardness of the sintered copper alloy.
