Experimental study on the feasibility of alternative materials for tilting pad thrust bearings operating in transition to mixed friction

Abstract In hydrodynamic bearings traditional bearing alloys: Babbitts and bronzes are most frequently utilized. Polymer sliding layers are sometimes applied as a valuable alternative. Hard diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings, which are also considered for certain applications may show some advantage...
