Abstract

The invention relates to a slide bearing composite material (2) comprising a metallic supporting layer (4), a metallic porous carrier layer (6) that is sintered or sprayed on the supporting layer and has a thickness of between 100 and 500 .mu.m. especially between 200 and 350 .mu.m. and a sliding layer (10) forming a sliding surface for a sliding partner and consisting of a sliding layer material (8) based on a polymer, which also fills the pores of the carrier layer (6) and optionally comprises fillers especially improving the tribological properties. The aim of the invention is to reduce the increase of the thickness of the wall as a result of the deformation. To this end, the porous carrier layer consists of spattered particles having a completely irregular, non-circular geometry, and has a pore volume of at least 40 vol. % before the deformation process.
