Abstract:
1. A plain bearing composite material, comprising: a supporting layer made of steel, a bearing metal layer made of a copper alloy containing copper, 0.5-5 wt. % nickel, 0.2-2.5 wt. % silicon, and <0.1 wt. % lead, the bearing metal layer being cast onto the supporting layer and having a yield point of 150 to 250 MPa, a lining including an electroplated layer applied to the bearing metal layer, the electroplated layer including a tin-copper alloy, and the plain bearing composite material being formed by continuous casting the bearing metal layer onto the supporting layer, rolling, and annealing the bearing metal layer on the supporting layer, wherein the rolling and annealing steps provide the yield point of 150 to 250 MPa.
