Why do bearings rust?

The causes of bearings rust are caused by a variety of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, which are summarized as follows.

  1. Metal surface finish (oxygen concentration difference cell corrosion)
  2. The chemical composition and structure of the metal material itself
  3. Composition and pH of the solution in contact with the metal surface
  4. Ambient temperature and humidity
  5. Various environmental media in contact with metal surfaces
  6. In addition, human sweat is also the cause of bearing corrosion, which has a pH of 5~6. Therefore, in order to prevent rusting caused by hand sweat, installation and production personnel should wear gloves and not casually touch the bearings with their hands.

How can we keep the bearings from rusting?

  • Soaking method
    Some small cloudsail bearings are dipped in antirust grease. The thickness of the oil film can be achieved by controlling the temperature or viscosity of the antirust grease. The method of making a layer of antirust grease adhered to its surface.
  • Brushing method
    When brushing, pay attention to the even application on the surface of the Yunfan bearing, do not produce pile-up, also pay attention to prevent leakage.
  • Spraying method
    Some large antirust objects are not suitable for oiling by the immersion method, and are generally sprayed with filtered compressed air at approximately 0.7Mpa pressure in an air clean place. The spraying method is suitable for solvent diluted antirust oil or thin layer antirust oil. This method must use perfect fire and labor protection measures.
