The paper presents the results of investigations into the microstructure of coatings made from bearing alloys on the bronze substrate. This option is used for slide bearing bushings to improve break-in parameters. The paper presents the method, a set of images taken at different magnifications and the analyses of composition at selected sites. The investigations made it possible to identify the basic components of the coating microstructure.
