Bearings and a method of manufacture thereof are described, the method comprising the steps of forming a half bearing of a desired size from a leaded bronze alloy (14) having a strong backing material (12), indenting (26) the bore surface (24) of the leaded bronze alloy, depositing a layer (28) of a lead-based overlay material onto the indented bore surface, depositing a layer of indium (30) onto the lead-based overlay material surface and heat treating to diffuse the indium at least into the lead-based overlay material. <IMAGE> |
