' 1 Claim. (01'. 75-151) The invention relates tobearing metal alloys pearance. It will also be noted that these needleand has for its object the obtaining of a material like elements traverse t e grains at dlflelent having novel and valuable characteristics. More angles. particularly, it is an object to obtain a journal hysical tests show c an ed properties bearing which will stand up under high speed undoubtedly are due to this changed structure. operation and without objectionable lapping or Thus at room temperature pure cadmium has a abrading action on the journal. "In the present Brinell ha d ss of Whereas my improved state of the art a type of bearing extensively used ad um cobalt y, has a Brinell ardness Of is one provided with a steel backingor shell and 31.2. Steel backed bearings lined with my cada lining of bearing metal. Among the essential millm Cobalt alloy exhibit a u rm y te ac ous characteristics of the bearing metal are, first, that bond between the linin metal and the Steel and it should form a -fi'rm bond with a steel shell or when n st t el journal 0 200 Brinell backing; second, that it should possess suflicient gave the following test in 0011198415011 with babbltt inherent strength to sustain the load; third, that linedrbearingsi its bearing surface should be free from any constituent which will cause an abrading or lapping action on the journal; fourth, that it should have x A B c a meiting point sufllciently high to withstand the temperatures to which it is subjected in use.

I have discovered that a cadmium base alloy using cobalt in place of copper or nickel as the hardening element has greatly improved properties, particularly in the absence of any tendency to lap or abrade the journals. The invention therefore consists in the cadmium cobalt alloy as hereinafter set forth.
