Abstract: A method of producing a workpiece having at least one bearing eye is described, the bearing eye being coated with an anti-friction coating made of an alloy of a harder alloy component and a softer alloy component. In order to achieve an advantageous load capacity, it is suggested that the bearing eye be processed for a precise fit to a circular cylinder before the anti-friction coating is applied to the processed bearing eye surface in a thickness corresponding to the final dimensions, the proportion of the softer alloy component in the deposited alloy being increased with increasing coating thickness.

Abstract: A method of producing a workpiece (1) having at least one bearing eye (2) is described, the bearing eye (2) being coated with an anti-friction coating (4), which forms a running surface deviating from a circular cylinder. In order to provide advantageous production conditions, it is suggested that the bearing eye (2) be processed for a precise fit to a circular cylinder, before the anti-friction coating (4) is galvanically deposited on the processed bearing eye surface (3) to form the running surface in a varying thickness which corresponds to the final dimensions.
