Abstract
This paper describes the analysis of overlay materials used in journal bearings. We conducted model tests using ring-on-disc test configuration and component tests on bearing test rigs. Appropriate test strategies were designed for investigating the running-in, stable operating, emergency running and break-down behaviour. We investigated three different types of overlays: PbSn18Cu2 galvanic, polymeric overlay (PAI matrix with MoS 2-lamellae and graphite), PVD-coated AlSn20Cu-Sputter. Main results are: PbSn18Cu2 improves emergency running conditions. Polymeric overlay shows high need for running-in, where a particle structured surface is formed. AlSn20Cu-Sputter exhibits lowest wear and highest load capacity in component tests, but requires optimum running conditions.
