Abstract

A zinc-aluminum casting alloy composed of 9 to 12% by weight aluminum, 0.6 to 1% by weight copper, 0.02 to 0.05% by weight magnesium, balance high-grade zinc. In order to improve the tribologocal properties of that material for use in sliding surface bearings, the material contains also 0.1 to 1.5% by weight silicon and has been made by continuous casting.
