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

摘要

Wear and sliding friction properties of a number of nickel alloys operating against hardened SAE 52100 steel were studied. The alloys were cast beryllium nickel, heat-treated beryllium nickel cast Inconel, Nomadic 80, Inconel X, Refractalloy 26, and Discology. Some of the alloys studied may be useful as material for cages of rolling-contact bearings that operate at high speeds with temperatures above 600° F in projected aircraft turbine engines or for bearings that operate in corrosive mediums.
