Abstract
The term bearing material is generally used to describe the special materials used in plain bearings, that is, bearings in which a load is transmitted between relatively moving parts by sliding contact and without the use of balls or rollers. One of these parts is generally of a material such as steel, chosen largely for its structural properties, while the other is of a “bearing material”, chosen to operate satisfactorily against this structural material.
