The bimetal proposed by KING is composed of two distinct layers of different metals, each with specific properties to maximize durability and engine performance.

1. Structure of Bimetal :

Inner layer : This layer is generally composed of bronze or a copper-based alloy, which is specially designed to provide good wear resistance, thermal conductivity and ability to maintain pad integrity under high temperature conditions.

Outer layer : The outer layer is often a harder metal, such as tin alloy, which ensures good corrosion resistance, low friction and good lubrication ability.

2. Advantages of Bimetal KING :

Reduced wear : Bimetal ensures excellent wear resistance by distributing the load between the two metal layers, which extends the life of the connecting rod bearings.

Ability to support high loads

: The use of two different materials allows the high mechanical forces generated in an internal combustion engine to be better managed, reducing the risk of premature bearing damage.

Better heat dissipation

: Bimetal allows for more efficient heat dissipation, which is crucial in modern engines, where operating temperatures can be particularly high.

Optimized lubrication

: Thanks to the combination of materials, KING bimetal pads provide an ideal surface for oil retention and friction reduction.

3. Applications :

This type of bearings is commonly used in high performance engines, including those of racing cars, competition engines or modified engines. It is specially designed for motors subject to high dynamic and thermal loads.

The bimetal

offered by KING is an advanced technical solution that combines the properties of metallic materials to provide increased durability, better wear resistance and optimal thermal management in the connecting rod bearings. This is an important innovation for modern engines requiring high-performance components to operate efficiently under extreme stress.
