The invention concerns a self-lubricating sintered bearing of antimony bronze, and method for its production, the bearing containing dispersed phases (3, 4, 5) which are harder than the matrix (11), of the following composition (% by weight):

Self-lubricating sintered bearing and process for the production thereof

The invention relates to cylinder liners for internal combustion engines comprising a matrix based on aluminum alloys of high mechanical strength, obtained by powder metallurgy, and methods of producing them. The liners comprise a dispersion of grains of an added intermetallic compound, apart from the dispersion of such intermetallic compounds as may exist in the alloy, the added compound having a melting temperature of over 700.degree. C. The liners are obtained by extruding or sintering a mixture of powders. The liners of the invention may be used particularly in the automobile industry and in any kind of industry where liner-piston units of good compatibility must be obtained from aluminum alloys.
