Abstract
A composite multilayer material and a method for the production thereof are described which are suitable for bearing points subject to mixed friction, said material being corrosion-resistant and cold-formable and capable of withstanding extremely high loads. According to the method, the backing material is preheated to a temperature of 1000° C. to 1100° C., a heterogeneously developing, lead-free copper-zinc- or copper-aluminum-based bearing alloy at a temperature of from 1000° C. to 1250° C. is cast thereon, and the composite multilayer material is cooled from the casting temperature of the bearing alloy to 100° C. within 2 to 4 minutes. A metallurgical bond zone (,) is present between the bearing alloy (,) and the backing material (,), which metallurgical bond zone (,) comprises 80-95% iron and the usual impurities, the rest being copper, and is crystallised in cubic form.
