Abstract: A method for producing a fracture-divided component, in particular a connecting rod, with an at least partially coated bore includes the steps of: providing an unfinished component; applying a coating of a bearing material to a bore surface; and working the coating, in order to compensate internal tensile stresses in the coating, before fracture division of the component. Alternatively, the method for producing a fracture-divided component, in particular a connecting rod, having an at least partially coated bore includes the steps of: providing an unfinished component; applying a coating of a bearing material to a bore surface before fracture division of the component; and forming a counter-hardness zone before the application of the coating in order to generate compressive stresses which oppose the internal tensile stresses of the coating.

Abstract: Methods for producing a heavy-duty coating for metals uses a material composition in the Sn/Cu system for heavy-duty metal coating of metal bases by laser welding. The material is composed essentially of the basic elements Sn, Sb, Cu, particularly of the basic elements Sn, Sb and Cu, optionally with 0-1 wt. % of Ni, 0-1 wt. % of As, 0-0.2 wt. % of Ag, 0-1.2 wt. % of Cd, 0-0.1 wt. % of Se, 0-0.2 wt. % of Cr, 0-2 wt. % Bi, 0-5 wt. % of In, and 0.1-1 wt. % of Zn; also optionally with hard materials, solid lubricants, auxiliary welding agents and auxiliary processing agents, such as free-flowing agents and pressing agents.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plain bearing alloy on a tin basis with antimony and copper, the alloy consisting of 6 to 15% by weight of antimony, 3 to 10% by weight of copper, 0.05 to 1% by weight of silver and 0.1 to 2% by weight of zinc, the remainder being tin.
