Is there any reference material that tell you what metals are best for different applications IE what is best for bearings or frame plates etc

The book "Workshop Materials" by the Workshop Practice Series might be a starting point. Machinery' s Handbook would be the comprehensive guide but probably too much information for most home shop users.

You're welcome. I just remembered there is a Workshop Practice Series book titled "Bearings" that might be useful too.
