Abstract
The present invention relates to a copper base alloy suitable for use in bearing structures. The copper base alloy consists of from about 15 wt % to about 90 wt %, preferably from about 50 wt % to about 60 wt %, silver and the balance essentially copper. The copper base alloy is advantageously applied to a surface of a component used in the bearing structure such as a surface of a bushing.
