A rotary rock bit is formed as a rock bit body, a bearing shaft supported by the rock bit body, a rotary cutter adapted to be rotatably mounted on the bearing shaft, and at least one bearing that promotes rotation between the rotary cutter and the bearing shaft. Each bearing includes a bearing element having a steel matrix with steel-free volumes distributed therethrough. The matrix is a hypoeutectoid steel having more than about 0.40 weight percent carbon. An anti-galling alloy resides within the steel-free volumes of the steel matrix. The anti-galling alloy is a silver-copper alloy having a composition of from about 85 weight percent to about 95 weight percent silver, balance copper.
