Experimental investigation identifies materials suitable for use in potassium lubricated turbo-generator journal bearing and shaft applications at high temperatures. Attention is given to nonrefractory metals and alloys, refractory metals and alloys, Fe-Ni-Co bonded carbides, refractory compounds, and refractory metal bonded carbides.
Molybdenum is substituted for tungsten on an atomic basis in a cobalt-based alloy, S-1, thus enabling the alloy to be formed into various mill products, such as tubing and steels. The alloy is weldable, has good high temperature strength and is not subject to embrittlement produced by high temperature aging.
