Composite material e.g. for plain bearing, has metallic support layer, porous backing that is applied to support layer, and bearing coating material which is introduced into pores of backing

摘要

The composite material has a metallic support layer, a porous backing that is applied to the support layer, and a bearing coating material which is introduced into the pores of the backing. The material is based on polymer plastic, and optionally contains fillers improving the tribological properties. The bearing coating material comprises a maximum of 20 percent by volume of PTFE and forms a maximum projection of 20 microns from the porous backing. An independent claim is included for use of a bearing made from a composite material.
