Effects of various treatments on the serviceability of water-immersed carbon-steel ball bearings

Description

Carbon-steel ball bearings employing various coatings, surface treatments, lubricants and ball and separator materials were tested under conditions simulating those in the NPD/Bruce type fuelling machine heads. The effects of the treatments on operating torques and wear and corrosion rates were studied. Sealed bearings lubricated with Dow FS 3451 (a fluorosilicone grease) gave the best performance in terms of these parameters. (author)
