The need for greater reliablity of corrosion resistant bearings, especially in aerospace and aircraft applications, has led to the development of 15 % Cr-steels with 1 % Mo. A partial exchange of carbon by nitrogen improves corrosion resistance, mechanical properties and bearing life as compared to conventional stainless bearing steels.
