Abstract
This invention relates to a process for producing helical oil grooves in a spherical metallic body, for example for a spiral groove bearing, which comprises exposing a photographic lacquer on the surface of said body to light under a pattern, developing the resulting image, and electrochemically etching and then chemically etching grooves in said body in the non-image areas, whereby pressure-building spiral grooves are produced having a planar groove bottom, straight walls, sharply right-angled edges, and a depth in the range of about 1 to 20 microns.
