Experimental performance evaluation of a lightweight additively manufactured hydrodynamic thrust bearing

In this paper, a lightweight additively manufactured (AM) fixed geometry hydrodynamic thrust bearing fabricated via laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is experimentally compared to a traditionally manufactured cast aluminum alloy thrust bearing of similar design. The purpose of this study is to evaluate...
