Abstract
A bearing component including a substrate; a sliding layer overlying the substrate; and a metal mesh comprising filaments embedded in the sliding layer, the metal mesh having a woven structure such that the filaments overlap each other at intersections, where a plurality of intersections include a first filament overlying a second filament, the first filament being mechanically so as to interlock with the second filament.

A bearing component comprising:
- a substrate;
- a sliding layer overlying the substrate;
- and
- a metal mesh comprising filaments embedded in the sliding layer, the metal mesh having a woven structure such that the filaments overlap each other at intersections, wherein a plurality of intersections include a first filament overlying a second filament, the first filament being mechanically deformed so as to interlock with the second filament.
