摘要 |
The invention utilizes the ductility of a metal such as gold or silver or other suitably ductile metal having a relatively high fusion temperature, for self-lubrication of a bearing having a coating including exceedingly small particles of such metal in a mixture with load-bearing particles, also exceedingly small, such as tungsten or nickel or a metallic oxide in a coating on a load-bearing surface of such bearing. The invention contemplates not only such a bearing surface but also a method of producing such surface on one element of a bearing.
