A process for the production of sliding elements, is described in which an overlay of lead-tin-copper is applied by electroplating to the prefabricated semi-finished product, and in which a ternary, fluoroborate-free electroplating bath is used without brighteners and with the addition of non-ionic wetting agents and free alkyl sulfonic acid. After the deposition of the galvanic overlay a heat treatment is carried out in the temperature range of 150 DEG C to 200 DEG C for between 1 and 100 hours. The multilayer material for sliding elements comprises at least a backing and an overlay of 12 to 16 wt. % tin and 7 to 11 wt. % copper, the rest being lead. The overlay comprises 15 to 25 wt. % particles of intermetallic compound Cu6Sn5. <IMAGE> |
