SM-100 has a lower coefficient of friction which unto itself is impressive. On top of the lower friction, SM-100 has twice the life of the 440C.
The combination of high hardness, moderate elastic modulus, large recoverable strain, low density, and intrinsic corrosion immunity provide a path to bearings largely impervious to shock load damage.
Due to the super-fine microstructure of SM-100, extremely tight tolerances can be achieved to get your components to their most efficient grade. The microstructure also means that the components have a higher level of inspectability and better mechanical properties than the competition.
