USE CERAMICS ENGINES [2 records]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bearings and Bearing Systems (Mechanical Components)
CONT

Ceramic bearings are attractive for use in gas-turbine engines because ceramics generally retain their strengths and resistances to corrosion over a range of temperatures much greater than that of typical steels used in rolling-element bearings. Furthermore, because ceramics have mass densities lower than those of steels, they might be used to reduce centrifugally induced stresses in the outer races of high-speed bearings.

Où en est aujourd'hui la céramisation des moteurs? Le second colloque international sur l'emploi des céramiques dans les machines thermiques (Lubeck, avril 1986) (...) [a] permis de faire le point sur (...) la céramisation des pièces mécaniques des moteurs. (...) la céramisation ne concerne pas exclusivement les pièces chaudes des moteurs; elle s'applique également aux pièces frottantes.
