Abstract
Particles, embedded into a sliding layer, have a coating, within which a lubricant, e.g., a liquid, is contained. A component with the sliding layer provides a sliding surface that can be used as a backup bearing to ensure emergency operating properties, for example, of a shaft that is mounted in a main bearing. When the shaft strikes the bearing surface, the coating of the particles that are exposed on the bearing surface are destroyed and the lubricant can exit. Advantageously, the sliding properties of the sliding surface are thereby improved.

1-7. (canceled)
A component with a sliding surface providing a sliding bearing of another component, comprising:
- a sliding layer formed of a metal alloy with a metallic matrix having a structural phase distributed in the matrix, the structural phase including a liquid lubricant oil surrounded by a closed coating and forming a constituent part of the sliding surface.
A component with a sliding surface providing a sliding bearing of another component, comprising:
- a sliding layer formed of a metal alloy with a metallic matrix having a structural phase distributed in the matrix, the structural phase including a solid lubricant selected from the group consisting of molybdenum sulfide, tungsten sulfide and graphite.
A method for producing a sliding layer with a sliding surface on a component, comprising:
- incorporating particles of a liquid lubricant surrounded by a coating during electrochemical deposition and chemical deposition of one of a metal and a metal alloy, so that the particles form a constituent part of the sliding surface.
