Layer architecture
Assessing backing material, bearing alloy and surface layers as one system.
Quality Assurance
MATERIALS ENGINEERING
Materials & tribology
We assess engine bearing and bushing solutions together with operating conditions such as load, speed, temperature, lubrication and surface interaction.
Bimetal
Steel-backed structure
Trimetal
Multilayer structure
µm
Surface & tolerance
PV
Load-speed relationship
APPLICATION-BASED MATERIALS
The right material only works in the right operating system
Bearing and bushing performance depends on more than alloy selection. The mating surface, lubrication regime, operating temperature, load direction, speed and installation geometry must be considered together.
Bimetal and trimetal product structures are evaluated with manufacturability, wear behavior, surface compatibility and target application requirements in mind.
