Composition of metals to produce good quality bearing

Materials composition is a very important matter to producing quality products. Typically, the steel-based alloy is used to produce good quality bearing. Which metals are to be used as an alloy depends on the bearing grade. A high-quality bearing looks like shining stainless steel. A standard quality bearing is free from oxide formation. The strength of the products is also related to bearing material properties. Therefore, the perfect composition of metals to produce good quality bearing is necessary for a longevity duration. The determination of product price depends on which metals and methods are to be used to manufacture any type of standard quality bearing. Many multinational giant companies, for example SKF and NTN, have their own big-bearing materials production capacity. Bearing metals can be categorized as follows,

i ) Tin based alloy – Tin , Antinomy , Copper

ii ) Copper based alloy – Tin , Lead , Copper

iii ) Lead based alloy – Tin , Lead , Antinomy

iv ) Cadmium based alloy – Nickel , Cadmium
