Aluminum-Alloy Bearings
equipment, roll-neck bearings in steel mills, reciprocating compressors, and aircraft equipment. Aluminum alloys require sufficient lubrication, good surface finish, and shafts hardened to about Rockwell B85. They have relatively poor compatibility characteristics and lack embeddability

Bearing Lubrication - Types, Methods, and Shelf Life
into the machinery or equipment. Temperature range, viscosity, evaporative rate are key characteristics to consider when selecting an oil. Grease: Grease consists of a base oil with a thickener added. These thickeners consist primarily of metal soaps (lithium, sodium, aluminum, and calcium), organic

Bearing up under 300 tons
. It has good antifriction properties and serves well under poor lubrication. Applications range from kingpin bushings for earthmoving-equipment and drum bushings for cranes to general-purpose bearings for passenger and freight cars. Aluminum bronze: Aluminum (Al) bronzes have historically been

Biodegradable Lube for Metalworking Operations
In aluminum rolling mill operations like this one, Alcoa, Inc., tested ARS's new biobased metalworking fluid and preferred it to the petroleum-based lubricants. A new metalworking fluid derived from soybean oil rather than petroleum is proving a smashing success in trial runs by Alcoa, Inc

Bronze and Copper-Alloy Bearings
compatibility, embeddability, and conformability, it is best suited for heavy-duty, low-speed applications with plentiful lubrication. Aluminum bronzes require harder shafts than softer bearing materials. Proper alignment is more critical because of low conformability. Beryllium copper: Adding about

Ford Shelby Cobra concept
the GT suspension and elements of its space frame, specifically cast-aluminum suspension nodes, rear rails, and bumper beam. Powering the Cobra is a new aluminum block 6.4-liter V10 that boasts 605 hp and 501 lb-ft of torque, without turbo or supercharging. Dual-overhead cams and cylinders are fed

Machining with less coolant
of using coolant. (It already costs more to get rid of coolant than it does to buy it.) A new approach, Minimum Quantity Lubricant (MQL) machining, could change the situation. Though primarily used for aluminum, MQL is an economical, environmentally friendly alternative to wet machining. The goal
