The material can be readily machined using conventional machine tooling. It is advisable that the material is machined in a dry condition using the suggested feeds and speeds: surface speed 300 - 350 m/min with a feed of 0.1 mm/rev.
The bearings can either be pressed into the housing, or freeze fitted. For freeze fitting recommendations, click here.
Care must be taken at all times not to damage the bush during the fitting process. Bore sizes must be checked along all axes at ambient temperature to ensure the minimum shaft clearance has been achieved.
