Abstract
Journal bearings comprising two half bearings are described. Only one half bearing, in the highest loaded position, has an overlay coating. Preferably the non-overlay coated half comprises a silicon containing aluminum alloy which exerts a polishing action on the shaft journal thus decreasing the degree of abrasiveness of the journal. The non-overlay coated half may also be profiled to allow accelerated polishing of the shaft journal.
