New Bearings for Old

Synopsis: A case study showing how the properties of an alloy can vary independently of its composition. Different techniques are used to show why one set of bronze bearings in a rolling mill should last for many years, and an apparently identical set of replacements with the same chemical composition, last less than a tenth of the time.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
