NMB produces bearings with two types of material. Chrome alloy steel and *DD stainless steel. Stainless steel is recommended for ball bearings in applications where corrosion is a possibility, and is also mainly for miniature bearings in which slight contamination can cause disturbance of operation. Chrome alloy steel is harder, and will provide a quieter run in applications where noise is a major concern. Chrome alloy steel, however, will corrode at a faster rate than stainless steel.
