Aviation Engine Bearings: The Critical “Heart Components” of Aircraft

Aero-engines are known as the heart of an aircraft. Their performance directly determines the safety and service life of the plane. Bearings are among the key components that keep this “heart” running steadily. 航空发动机中的轴承在极其恶劣的条件下运行:它们必须承受高温和高速运转,适应快速变化的负载、振动和冲击,并提供出色的可靠性和较长的使用寿命。 Design factors such as bearing material, structure, cage, surface treatment and lubrication all directly affect whether bearings fail prematurely and how […]
FODA BEARING: Research on Microstructure Refinement & Defect Control of 8Cr4Mo4V Aviation Bearing Steel by Hot Extrusion

As the second-generation aviation bearing steel, 8Cr4Mo4V is the most widely used core material for aero-engine main shaft bearings in China. At present, the third and fourth-generation new bearing steels are still in the research stage and far from large-scale application. Therefore, tapping the potential of the second-generation bearing steel and improving its microstructure and […]
