Abstract
The invention relates to an aluminium-based slide bearing material, comprising an aluminium alloy with 10-25% wt. tin, as well as copper, nikel and manganese additions. The invention seeks to provide a material with improved load-bearing capacity and formability. To this end, copper, nickel and manganese are each present at a portion of 0.2 to 2% wt., and 0.2 to 2% wt. silicon is added. Furthermore, the ratio of the percentage by weight of copper to the percentage by weight of nickel, and the ratio of the percentage by weight of manganese to the percentage by weight of silicon is between 0.6 and 1.5.
