Increase of service life of gas-lubricated bearings of onboard power equipment by application of antifriction coatings

Abstract

The present article is dedicated to the problem of service life extension for gas-lubricated bearings used in onboard turbines. Substantiation of selection of particular method of obtaining the protective coating for the working surface of a gas-lubricated bearing is presented as well. Dependence of wear resistance of the coating on the process and technology of the protective coating production is described.
