Sliding bearing

Sliding bearing (1) comprising a support element (2) on which at least one additional functional layer (3) consisting of a silver-based alloy with silver as the main alloy component is arranged, wherein possibly between the functional layer (3) and the support element (2) or on top of the functional layer (3) at least one additional layer is arranged, wherein the functional layer (3) in addition to silver contains at least one element from a group comprising gallium, manganese, nickel, copper, zinc, germanium, indium, tin, antimony, and aluminum, wherein the total content of said elements is between 0.01 wt. % and 70 wt. % and the remainder is silver which includes impurities from the production process, with the proviso that in binary silver-based alloys the proportion of each of the elements gallium, manganese, nickel, zinc, germanium, antimony is a maximum of 49 wt. %, the proportion of indium is a maximum of 10 wt. %, the proportion of tin or copper in the formation of the functional layer as a sliding layer is a maximum of 10 wt. % or 14 wt. %.
