Why a Lead-Free Soft Bearing Wire?
Soft bearing alloys are used to create a sacrificial, conformable surface that embeds hard particles and retains lubricant. Traditional formulations often include lead for machinability and lubricity. A lead-free alternative provides similar performance while meeting tightening regulations on hazardous substances in manufacturing and maintenance environments.
This wire is drawn to 3.0 mm, a common diameter for arc spray and certain flame spray setups. Consistent diameter and clean wire surface help maintain a stable feed and uniform melting, which translates to a more homogeneous coating with predictable thickness control.
Selecting the Right Wire for Your Thermal Spray Job
Soft bearing wires are not one-size-fits-all. The final alloy grade, bond strength, and deposit hardness depend on the base metal, operating temperature, and load conditions. When you enquire, share your target hardness range, bond coat preference, and the spraying equipment you use. Our team will recommend a grade that balances conformability, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength for your specific bearing or journal application.
