Stainless Steel Bearing Characteristics and

Cixi Yongnuo Bearing Co., Ltée.

1. 440C Stainless Steel Bearings

  • Material Properties: High-carbon martensitic stainless steel, heat-treated to achieve Le 58-60 hardness.

  • Features:

    • Exceptional wear resistance and high load capacity.

    • Moderate corrosion resistance (suitable for dry or mildly corrosive environments).

    • Ideal for high-speed, high-stress applications (Par ex., precision machinery, aerospace).

  • Limitations: Less corrosion-resistant than austenitic grades; requires lubrication in harsh conditions.

2. 440 Roulements en acier inoxydable

  • Material Properties: Medium-carbon martensitic steel with slightly lower hardness (Le 56-58) than 440C.

  • Features:

    • Good wear resistance and moderate corrosion resistance.

    • Cost-effective for medium-load applications (Par ex., automotive components, industrial tools).

  • Limitations: Avoid prolonged exposure to saltwater or acidic environments.

3. 420 Roulements en acier inoxydable

  • Material Properties: Low-carbon martensitic steel with Le 50-55 hardness.

  • Features:

    • Better corrosion resistance than 440 series due to lower carbon content.

    • Suitable for low-to-medium load applications requiring moderate corrosion resistance (Par ex., food processing, medical instruments).

  • Limitations: Lower hardness limits use in high-wear scenarios.

4. 304 (AISI 304) Roulements en acier inoxydable

  • Material Properties: Austenitic stainless steel with HB 150-200 hardness (non-heat-treatable).

  • Features:

    • Excellent corrosion resistance in oxidizing environments (Par ex., water, mild chemicals).

    • Hygienic and easy to clean, ideal for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.

  • Limitations: Lower hardness and wear resistance; avoid high-load/high-speed use.

5. 316 (AISI 316) Roulements en acier inoxydable

  • Material Properties: Austenitic steel with molybdenum addition for enhanced corrosion resistance.

  • Features:

    • Superior resistance to chlorides and acidic environments (Par ex., marin, chemical processing).

    • Biocompatible and sterilizable, suitable for medical and marine applications.

  • Limitations: Softer than martensitic grades; not recommended for high-wear scenarios.
