Chemical composition of the running layer Sn Cu Si Ti Ni Fe Mn others combined AI The hardness of the running layer is in the range of 35 - 55 HB Manufacture of the sliding material The aluminum alloy is manufactured in vertical continuous casting. Mechanical processing of the strand surface as well as special heat treatment steps prepare the material for plating. The so-called pre-composite results from plating a pure aluminum foil (Al 99.5) on the strand. Roll-cladding is used to apply the pre-composite onto the steel. Selective thermomechanical treatment steps afford the desired material...
