Plain bearings — Requirements and guidance on backings for thick-walled multilayer bearings

This document gives requirements and guidance to obtain the optimum bond between backing and bearing metal for thick-walled multilayer plain bearings. This optimum bond depends on the chemical composition, the state of stress, the structural arrangement and the machining of the bond surface of the backings.

NOTE Control of the manufacturing process is an important requirement to achieve an optimum bond between backing material and bearing metal.
