Bearing landing deterioration
Bearing landing deterioration
(OP)
Hi!
we have a fractionator bottoms between bearing pump whose service temperature 750 deg F, anti friction bearings have lube mist lubrication,the shaft is of 416SS material, we noticed on the shaft at the area under the bearing seat of both the IB & OB appears to have some kind of "attack", similiar to corrosion.Can anyone offer possible causes for this?

Just a thought and maybe a good posting in the materials / corrosion forum.
