Estimating the term…
The invention relates to a copper alloy such as, for example, CuNi6Sn5Fe2P0.15, which has hard particles such as, for example, Fe3P or Fe2P and optionally solid lubricants such as, for example, hexagonal boron nitrides or graphite. The invention further relates to the use of said copper alloy for a bearing and to a bearing having said copper alloy. The invention further relates to a method for producing a bearing having a copper alloy, wherein a metal powder is produced, for example, by means of melt atomization, hard particles and optional solid lubricants are optionally added to said powder, and the powder is sintered onto a substrate. Finally, the invention relates to an alternative method for producing a bearing, wherein the copper alloy is applied to a substrate by means of casting or plating or wherein the bearing is made completely of the copper alloy.
A copper alloy comprising hard particles, the copper alloy having the following alloy elements:
A method for producing a bearing comprising a copper alloy comprising hard particles, the copper alloy having the following alloy elements:
16(NEW). The copper alloy according to claim 1, wherein the nickel (Ni) is present in an amount of up to approximately 8% by weight, the tin (Sn) is present in an amount of up to approximately 8% by weight, the iron (Fe) is present in an amount of up to approximately 5% by weight, and the phosphorus (P) is present in an amount of up to about 3% by weight.
