Processing and fluid flow characteristics of hot isostatically pressed porous alumina for aerostatic bearing applications

Despite their well known superior load and stiffness characteristics, the wide-spread use of porous aerostatic bearings in preference to other bearing types has been hampered by difficulties in controlling the permeability of the porous material during manufacture and machining, in addition to insta...
