Abstract
A motion-transmitting combination comprising a cast member of a self-lubricating polymer composite adapted for movable joinder with a metal member of at least one metal, metal alloy or metal mixture is provided. The metal member has a wear-resistant, porous surface layer impregnated with a self-lubricating compound, and is capable of contacting the cast member with low clearance. Methods for preparing a motion-transmitting combination comprising a cast member adapted for movable joinder with a metal member are also provided.
