Abstract
A sliding mechanism comprising two members maintained in sliding contact with each other, wherein one of the members (which may be a pin) is formed of an alloy consisting essentially of, by weight, less than 0.3% carbon, 7-40% nickel, 15-28% chromium, 2-8% silicon, 3-12% manganese and the balance essentially iron, and the other member (which may be a roller) is formed of an alloy consisting essentially of, by weight, less than 0.5% carbon, 13-22% chromium, less than 2% silicon, less than 2% manganese, 3-10% molybdenum, 10% of at least one of titanium and aluminum and the balance essentially nickel, the two members having a difference in Vickers hardness of below 200 at their contact surfaces. The sliding mechanism has particualr utility as means for guiding a control rod of a nuclear reactor by means of pins and rollers.
