ABSTRACT:
An aluminum-base bearing alloy and a bearing material which is made by applying the bearing alloy to a backing steel by pressure welding. The aluminum-base bearing alloy is characterized in that the lowering of the hardness thereof under high temperature conditions is quite small so that the fatigue strength of the bearing alloy is quite high. The aluminum base bearing alloy comprises 10-30 wt.% of tin, 0.1-1.0 wt.% of chromium or zirconium, and the remainder of aluminum. The bearing alloy of the invention can further contain 0.2-2.0 wt.% of copper or both 0.2-2.0 wt.% of copper and 0.1-0.5 wt.% of beryllium so as to improve its properties. Especially, the aluminum-base bearing alloy containing chromium has the advantage that the tin particles contained in the alloy are prevented from becoming coarse in an annealing step or at elevated temperatures corresponding to the annealing condition. Accordingly, the lowering of the hardness under high temperature conditions can effectively be prevented, and as the result, the fatigue strength can effectively be maintained.
