FAQs
A: Tin-based Babbitts typically contain ~80–92% tin, 7–11% antimony, and 3–6% copper; lead-based ones replace tin with ~70–80% lead plus similar antimony and copper levels.
A: Their structure embeds hard intermetallic crystals within a softer metal matrix; as it wears, the soft alloy creates lubricant channels and protects shaft surfaces.
A: Use tin-heavy Babbitt (high-tin) for high-speed, heavy-duty environments like turbines. Choose lead-based alloys for lower-load, cost-effective uses and enhanced corrosion resistance.
A: They produce Babbitt alloys to client specs or international standards (ASTM B23), provide metallurgical lab reports, and export grade‑specific ingots globally.
A: Yes, worn Babbitt bearings can be rebound and cast in place; RA Power’s alloy expertise supports efficient rebabbitting and onsite repairs across industries.
