Plain bearing sleeve and method of making same

摘要

A half bearing has a backing member and at least one metallic overlay, which is applied by electron beam vapor deposition and which comprises at least one finely dispersed component in a matrix material, the atomic weight of which component is greater than that of the matrix material, wherein the concentration of the finely dispersed component (7) decreases continuously from the apex area (8) of the half bearing (1) towards the area (9) of the partial surfaces. The method is characterized in that, during the coating process, an inert gas pressure of 0.1 to 5 Pa is set in the apex area of the bearing shell.
