Abstract
A plain bearing comprising a support and a galvanically deposited bearing alloy deposited on said support in a thickness of about 0.01 to 0.1 mm from a bath containing metallic fluoroborates. The bearing alloy is a copper-free alloy of only tin, antimony and lead and consisting essentially of 16 to 40% by weight tin, 8 to 11% by weight antimony and the balance lead. The support comprises a steel support covered with lead or tin-bronze and a nickel containing barrier layer.
