  • When metal to metal contact occurs, bearing material should not damage journal material. (It should not stick or weld together)
  • High compressive strength to with stand high pressure without distortion.
  • Sufficient endurance strength to avoid failure due to fluctuation.
  • It should conform with journal material(adjust it shape)
  • Should be soft to allow dust particles to get embedded.
  • Sufficient corrosion resistance
  • They should not be very costly and must be easily available.
