According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This slider (1, 2) comprises a slider body (10, 70), an elastic member (40, 100), and a pull tab (50, 110). The slider body (10, 70) is formed from an aluminum alloy having a composition represented by a general formula: AlaMgbMncCrd (each of a, b, c, and d represents % by mass, a is the balance, 3.9=b=6.5, 0c=0.4, 0d=0.3, and unavoidable impurity elements may be included) or a general formula: AleMgfSigCuhCri (each of e, f, g, h, and i represents% by mass, e is the balance, 0.8=f=2.0, 0.4=g=0.9, 0.15=h=0.8, 0i=0.45, and unavoidable impurity elements may be included). A member-accommodating part (30, 90) comprising a concave insertion groove (31, 91) is provided to a connecting post (12, 72) of the slider body (10, 70) and the average Vickers hardness of the connecting post (12, 72) is 10 Hv or higher. As a result of said features, there can be attained such a state that a deformation that makes the slider unusable is unlikely formed in the slider body (10, 70) even when a sliding operation is repeated on the slider."
