WEAR AND SLIDING FRICTION PROPERTIES OF NICKEL ALLOYS SUITED FOR CAGES OF HIGH-TEMPERATURE ROLLING-CONTACT BEARINGS I - ALLOYS RETAINING MECHANICAL PROPERTIES TO 600° F

摘要

Wear and sliding friction properties of a number of nickel alloys operating against hardened SAE 52100 steel were studied. These alloys include "L" nickel, wrought monel, cast monel, cast modified "H" monel, cast "S" monel, Inyar, Ni-Resist 3, and Nichrome V. Some of the alloys studied may be useful as possible cage materials for high-temperature, high-speed bearings for aircraft turbines or for bearings to operate in corrosive media.
