Method for producing a plain bearing bush

A method for producing a plain bearing bush whereby a flat supporting metal layer is provided, an anti-friction layer is provided on this supporting metal layer to produce a flat composite material, and the flat composite material is then rolled into the shape of the plain bearing bush, wherein the flat composite material is rolled in such a way that the supporting metal layer in the plain bearing bush is disposed radially underneath the anti-friction layer, wherein after the rolling the plain bearing bush has open ends running in an axial direction, wherein the open ends are welded to one another such that a weld seam in the axial direction is formed, wherein an oil groove extending in the axial direction is in the plain bearing bush, the oil groove being disposed at a distance from the weld seam, the distance being between 0.5% and 10% of an external circumference of a running surface of the anti-friction layer, and wherein lubricant from a lubricant supply line is fed to the oil groove via a bore running through the supporting metal layer and through the anti-friction layer.
