Method of manufacturing a plain bearing arrangement for the radial mounting of an element in a housing of steel, wherein a bearing bush of a tribologically favourable metallic bearing material, that is to say of CuAI or of other alloys designated as bronzes, is arranged between the housing and the element , and wherein the method comprises the following steps: S1: providing the housing ; S2: providing the bearing bush ; S3: inserting the bearing bush into the housing ; S4: welding the bearing bush to the housing ; and wherein the step S2 comprises the following substeps: S2A: providing bearing material in bar form; S2B: rolling the bearing material provided in step S2A into a ring which forms the bearing bush ; S2C: welding the ring seam; S2D: machining the ring with respect to the outer and inner contour; and wherein in step S2D the outer contour of the bearing bush is machined so that the bearing bush can be inserted into the housing at room temperature in step S3, and wherein the welding of the bearing bush to the housing is carried out in step S4 by means of electron beam welding, and wherein the material of the housing is melted during the welding process in step S4, and wherein this welding process is carried out in such a way that a full-surface connection is produced between the inner contour of the housing and the outer contour of the bearing bush . S1: providing the housing ; S2: providing the bearing bush ; S3: inserting the bearing bush into the housing ; S4: welding the bearing bush to the housing ; and wherein the step S2 comprises the following substeps: S2A: providing bearing material in bar form; S2B: rolling the bearing material provided in step S2A into a ring which forms the bearing bush ; S2C: welding the ring seam; S2D: machining the ring with respect to the outer and inner contour; and wherein in step S2D the outer contour of the bearing bush is machined so that the bearing bush can be inserted into the housing at room temperature in step S3, and wherein the welding of the bearing bush to the housing is carried out in step S4 by means of electron beam welding, and wherein the material of the housing is melted during the welding process in step S4, and wherein this welding process is carried out in such a way that a full-surface connection is produced between the inner contour of the housing and the outer contour of the bearing bush . S2A: providing bearing material in bar form; S2B: rolling the bearing material provided in step S2A into a ring which forms the bearing bush ; S2C: welding the ring seam; S2D: machining the ring with respect to the outer and inner contour; and wherein in step S2D the outer contour of the bearing bush is machined so that the bearing bush can be inserted into the housing at room temperature in step S3, and wherein the welding of the bearing bush to the housing is carried out in step S4 by means of electron beam welding, and wherein the material of the housing is melted during the welding process in step S4, and wherein this welding process is carried out in such a way that a full-surface connection is produced between the inner contour of the housing and the outer contour of the bearing bush . <EOS>
