5. Antifriction materials for hydrodynamic conditions (M3)
This operating regime requires specific properties of the ring or bushing, which are often contradictory. One way of avoiding this difficulty is to use multi-layer materials, but also materials with multi-phase structures.
5.1 Base materials
Given the wide variety of materials available for this regime, only the major families of materials and their specific properties are mentioned. A more detailed presentation can be found in Cazaud's book
Given the long history of anti-friction bearing materials, it is worthwhile tracing a brief history of their development, highlighting the main technical reasons that led bearing manufacturers to design the various types of material...
