The present invention provides sliding members respectively having sliding
surfaces opposed to each other for creating dynamic pressure in a fluid,
in which the sliding surfaces are formed of ceramics containing crystal
grains of Al.sub.2O.sub.3, crystal grains of TiC contained in the crystal
grains of Al.sub.2O.sub.3, and crystal grains of TiC existing
independently of the crystal grains of Al.sub.2O.sub.3, and having a TiC
content of 5 to 20 mass % in the total amount of Al.sub.2O.sub.3 and TiC,
and the respective volume resistivity values R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 of the
ceramics forming the sliding surfaces are within a range simultaneously
satisfying equations (1) to (3) to prevent spark discharges from being
induced between the sliding surfaces, and a fluid dynamic pressure
bearing and a motor to which the configuration is applied: 10.sup.6
