Abstract

The stability under load and deformability of an aluminum-based sliding bearing material with 10-25 mass 6 tin are improved in that the aluminum alloy is composed of tin with the admixture of silicon and manganese, the remainder being aluminum, in that the proportions of manganese and silicon amount each to 0.2-2 mass %, and in that the ratio of the percentage by mass of manganese to the percentage by mass of silicon lies between 0.6 and 1.5.
