A unique alloy, developed in partnership with NASA, performs as well as the best bearing steels.
Titanium, which is a highly reactive metal, does not normally work in bearing applications that require lubrication. When combined in the right proportions with nickel to form Nitinol 60, however, NASA discovered that it performs as well as the best bearing steels.
