Bearing alloy is a kind of alloy formed by adding some functional alloy elements to some carrier alloys, so as to form a new type of alloy having both the inherent properties of the carrier alloy and the special properties of the added functional alloy elements. Various alloy mild steel can be used as the carrier alloy, such as high-alloy steel, low-alloy steel, ferroalloy, stainless steel, etc., and can add different functional alloy elements, such as chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, titanium, tungsten, aluminum, boron, zirconium, etc. The bearing alloy is an alloy that combines the properties of high corrosion resistance and high surface hardness with good anti-deformation properties, which is suitable for making bearings.
The bearing alloy is ideal for the manufacture of rolling elements, a bearing system that aims to reduce the frictional and rolling resistance on the surface of the bearing, in order to extend the service life of the bearing and reduce the energy consumption in the operation. Its added steel elements have high specific strength, high wear resistance and high fatigue resistance. In addition, a modified isothermal hardening treatment can be applied to improve the surface hardness, making the bearing alloy have better abrasion resistance and impact resistance.
Bearing alloy is widely used in the manufacture of various bearing components, such as bearing races, rolling bodies and retainer. Its unique characteristics make it ideal for use in high-speed motors, gear transmission systems and instrumentation. Bearing alloy is also used for drag reduction applications, where it can be used to reduce friction and wear.
In addition to its wear and corrosion resistance properties, the bearing alloy also has good ductility so that it can be machined into a variety of shapes and sizes. This makes it ideal for use in aerospace components such as propeller blades and turbine blades. The bearing alloy also offers excellent creep resistance, allowing it to be used in high-temperature applications such as turbochargers and the automotive industry.
Overall, bearing alloy is an ideal material for the manufacture of bearings and other precision components. Its wear and corrosion resistance, mechanical properties and machinability make it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
