Abstract

This invention is a method of making an elongate strip of bearing material in which a strong backing has a lining of polyphenylene sulphide applied to it. The lining is heated to be melted and bonded to the backing and partly cured, and it is then rapidly reduced in temperature and that gives it sufficient ductility to be coiled for further heat treatment or for storage without cracking the lining.
