Fighting friction with solid-film coatings
for bearings. The technology for coating parts has improved recently. One result is that permanent bearing surfaces now get coated much more accurately than with conventional spray application systems. Known as the Dimension Bond process, the new technique uses computer-controlled systems that measure each
