Silicon Nitride in Rolling Contact Bearings

Abstract

The investigation was concerned with the evaluation of hot pressed silicon nitride as a bearing material. Its organization was divided into three principal activities: (1) rolling contact fatigue testing of silicon nitride rod specimens (2) the design and fabrication of two types of high speed, silicon nitride containing, roller bearings and (3) the accelerated testing of these full-scale roller bearings.
