Is your bearing choice actually "Marine Grade"?
Many engineers assume stainless steel is a "fix-all" for saltwater. However, without understanding Pitting and Galvanic Corrosion, you might be designing for failure.
In our latest blog post, we dive into:
✅ How chloride ions pe*****te the "passive layer" (Pitting).
✅ Why metal-to-metal contact in saltwater creates a corrosive "battery" (Galvanic).
✅ High-performance material alternatives for extreme environments.

Stainless steel bearings corrode faster in saltwater than most engineers expect. Learn how pitting and galvanic corrosion cause bearing failure — and how to stop it.
