G-Metal is a maintenance free, self-lubricating high performance sliding material. The metallic matrix of tin bronze, iron, iron-nickel-copper, nickel-copper-iron or nickel is impregnated with solid lubricants such as graphite. Glebus Alloys offers both Solid Metal (GSM) and bimetallic (GBM) solutions. Bimetallic products are made of stainless, low carbon steel backing or bronze covered with a sintered sliding layer.
Sintering technology allows for the construction and manufacturing of a wide range of complex shapes with consistent self-lubricating properties throughout the whole lifecycle of the critical moving parts. G-Metal based materials provide reliable and high-performance no-grease solutions for demanding industrial applications.
G-Metal metallic matrix contains uniformly distributed solid lubricants. Choosing the type of base materials as well as kind of the solid lubricant is defined by the desired physical, environmental and chemical conditions of each particular application.

Majority of our products is custom made. No order is too small. Following to the powder metallurgy manufacturing, battery of computer controlled 5–axes milling machines, lathes, grinding centers, drilling and bending machines allow for variability and custom designed production from 1 piece to thousands.
Our products include bushings, bearings, sliding plates, wear material made of wide variety of solid and bimetallic materials
Sintered self–lubricating material containing graphite as solid lubricant uniformly distributed throughout the metallic matrix work at its best at demanding applications.
Self-Lubricating metal-based plain bearings, bushings and sliding plates with evenly dispersed microscopic graphite particles provide unique benefits in critical applications where potential oil or lead contamination needs to be avoided while low friction movement is required. Their lead-free and oil-free composition makes no threat to the environment or to the processed substances such as food, beverages, rubber, water etc.
