Multi-layered plain bearing

A multi-layered plain bearing with a support layer and a sliding layer,

• wherein the sliding layer comprises a tin-based alloy with a tin matrix,
• wherein the tin-based alloy comprises tin, antimony, and copper,
• wherein the proportion of antimony is between 1 wt. % and 8 wt. %,
• wherein the proportion of copper is between 8 wt. % and 20 wt. %,
• wherein the total content of all alloy elements is a maximum of 30 wt. % and the remainder is formed by tin and manufacturing-related impurities, and
• wherein at least a proportion of the copper forms a copper-rich hard phase with tin, which is in the form of a deposit in the tin matrix,
• wherein the copper-rich hard phase is in the form of nanoparticles,
• wherein the tin-based alloy further comprises at least one element selected from a group consisting of aluminum, bismuth and nickel,
• wherein the proportion of the at least one element is between 0.1 wt. % and 5 wt. % for each of the elements aluminum, bismuth, and nickel, and
• wherein the sliding layer is deposited via a PVD method when the particle size of the nanoparticles is greater than 50 nm.
