Everybody knows that bearing materials are various.
Different disadvantages, advantages, and functions are there in various kinds
of materials. Used for producing bearing products, Steel is a main kind of
material. But this material cannot be performed well in some environments.
Many specific advantages are there in ceramic balls Compared to steel.
They offer superior heat resistance and corrosion, lower density, and higher
dimensional stability, which offers high speed. In corrosion and heat
resistance, Ceramics are lightweight and extremely hard superior to steel.
Consequently, in environments where conventional steel
bearings cannot, ceramic rolling bearings can be used. Making it possible that
they can be applied in some special environments, the superiority of these
bearings is worth.
Firstly in corrosive environments, they can be used.
All ceramic ball bearings lasted
three and twenty times longer respectively Compared to stainless steel
bearings. Leading to extended bearing life, it is presumed that water readily
forms a better lubrication film and adheres to silicon nitride.
Secondly, in corrosive agents, they can be performed.
Generally, excellent corrosion resistance is in silicon nitride. However,
depending on the quantity and type of sintering additives, corrosion resistance
varies and certain corrosive agents decrease in flexural strength and hardness.
In such a situation, it is can be proved that the most effective are the
carbide-based ceramic bearings.
Thirdly, in a high-temperature vacuum, they can be used. In
a high-temperature vacuum environment, in durability, an all-silicon nitride
ball bearing with a self-lubricating laminated cage and with MoS2-coated rings
and balls proved superior. Compared with the hybrid bearings, in both dynamic
life and frictional torque, the full the ceramic ball bearing was superior.
Fourthly, with poor lubrication, they can be performed. In
bearing life without lubrication, they outperform other materials like ceramics
have outstanding wear resistance and are extremely hard.
According to a test, though sustaining wear, did not, the
steel bearing seized within a short period while the all-ceramic and hybrid
bearings. Indicating that its endurance life is much longer, as compared to the
hybrid bearing, the all-ceramic bearing sustained considerably less wear.
