ICT widen its balls offer introducing XD15NW, Cronidur, L-605 and XD16N steels

Components for bearings used in aircraft applications need to meet high standards of quality, reliability, and performance due to the critical role they play in ensuring the safety and functionality of aircraft. They are engineered to the highest standards to ensure the safety, performance, and reliability of aircraft in various operating conditions.

ICT can offer balls (as well as other components) for aircraft bearings thanks to its manufacturing long-term partners, who all adhere to strict quality control and certification processes to meet the above requirements.

In addition to balls offered since years in steels like M50 AMS6491, AISI 52100 AMS6440 and AMS 6444, with VIM (Vacuum Induction Melting) and VAR (Vacuum Arc Remelt) process, ICT recently expanded its products offer with introduction of new types of steels:

  • XD15NW AMS 5925: it is a high-nitrogen martensitic stainless steel (used both for aerospace and medical applications) that represents a good alternative of the 440C thanks to its hardness bigger than 58 HRC. It has also a better corrosion resistance than the 440C in extreme corrosion environments.
  • X30N AMS 5898 or Cronidur 30 (G30Cr15Mo1N): it is a high nitrogen martensitic stainless steel with better corrosion resistance ability compared to the 440C. The pressurized ESR helps X30N to achieves higher percentage of nitrogen compared to the CD15NW.
  • L-605 AMS 5796 (UNS R30605): it is a cobalt-nickel-chromium-tungsten alloy that has excellent high-temperature strength in oxidzing and sulfiding environments, with temperature up to 1800ºF (980ºC).
  • XD16N AMS 5926: it is a less costly version of XD15NW steel, with hardness bigger than 58 HRC and with significant better corrosion resistance than 440C steel.

All ICT balls for aircraft bearings meet the stringent requirements of aerospace industry and are available in the range from 2 to 63.5 mm diameter. Steel balls are 100% eddy-current inspected and all metrological, metallurgical and raw material certifications are provided to customers together with products. NADCAP qualified heat treatment, material sorting, particles control, nital etching and fluorescent penetrant inspection can all be performed.
