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. 1, record 4, English, - ceramic%20bearing

Bearing alloys ... are used for metals that encounter sliding contact under pressure with another surface; the steel of a rotating shaft is a common example. Most bearing alloys contain particles of a hard intermetallic compound that resist wear. These particles, however, are embedded in a matrix of softer material which adjusts to the hard particles so that the shaft is uniformly loaded over the total surface. 2, record 7, English, - bearing%20alloy
