Abstract
A CdO-graphite coating was developed and successfully tested in foil air bearings for long periods up to a temperature of 427 °C (800 °F) and at a normal contacting load (during starting and stopping) of 14 kPa (2 lbf in −2) based on the bearing projected area. The addition of ultrafine silver to the CdO-graphite improved the coating endurance. At 427 °C, the CdO-graphite-Ag coating performed better than CdO-graphite without silver, both for extended periods at 14 kPa (2 Ibf in −2) and for limited periods at 35 kPa (5 lbf in −2). At 288 °C (550 °F), the coating was tested for an extended period up to 28 kPa (4 Ibf in −2) and has also successfully completed high speed shock tests to an acceleration level of 100g.
