Bush is a plain bearing surface made of a comparatively softer metal that is inserted into a housing to provide a bearing surface for rotary part in variety of applications. Since most rotating parts like shafts are made of steel, bushes or plain bearing is made of alloys viz brass and bronze which have excellent wear properties. Gunmetal is an alloy that is known for its robustness, heat resistance and anti-corrosive property Bushes are produced by machining from the rods and castings. The process involves cutting from rods to desired size and then machining on lathe. Grooves and other machining can also be done on lathe and milling machine. For self-lubricating bush production bushes may be coated with FEP, PFA, PTFE (Teflon) and other metals like tin that provide better wear properties. The coating
process can be done by simple ingenious spray attachments and torch processes on lathe. These coatings are sintered in small oven to get desired uniformity.
