Development of Engine Bearings with High Fatigue Resistance

Cylinder pressure of diesel engines are getting higher, and engine bearings are required to have improved fatigue resistance. Recently, to change to lead-free bearing, bearings with three layer, which are bismuth overlay and copper alloy lining on the back steel, started to be applied. To improve the fatigue resistance of bismuth overlay, the overlay is reinforced by alloying with Sb. The fatigue resistance is superior to conventional material. In order to improve the fatigue resistance of lining, solid solution strengthening components of Cu such as Sn, Ni are selected as the additive components. Developed lining shows 45% higher fatigue strength compared with conventional lining.
