8. Ceramic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic

   Ceramic bearings typically last triple the lifetime of steel bearings. They deform less than steel under load, resulting in less contact with the bearing retainer walls and lower friction. In very high-speed applications, heat from friction causes more problems for metal bearings than ceramic bearings. Ceramics are chemically resistant to ...

9. Cermet - Wikipedia
