Manufacturing of white metal bearing

Babbitting Services for Old Bearings | Manufacturing of New Babbitt Bearings

We extend professional services for the repair of old bearings up to 1500 mm in diameter. All the bearings are rebabbitted by centrifugal casting. The approved procedure for remetalling white metal bearings is followed the gist of which is as follows:-

PROCEDURE FOR REBABBITTING OF OLD BEARINGS:-

  • Removal of old white metal from steel casing under the regulated temperature.
    Inspection of a crack in steel casing or bearing after removal of Babbitt white metal.
  • Technicians detect cracks using MPI and dye-penetrant tests.
  • We give great importance to shot blasting/sandblasting of steel casing. This is done in the special-purpose shot blasting machines.
    Checking the hardness of the steel casing and again checking for cracks after the shot blasting process.
    Selection of a high grade of Babbitt metal, we prefer the use of a higher grade of Babbitt metal than the existing one to enhance the life of bearings.
    Centrifugal casting of Babbitt white metal.
    Inspection of bonding of Babbitt white metal with steel casing by ultrasonic and dye-penetrant test.
    Rough machining, final machining, and maintenance of tolerances strictly as per the drawing on CNC machines supported with DRDO.
    Final inspection and preparation of reports.

We undertake the rebabbitting and maintenance of old bearings for the following:

The most highly recommended repair procedure for large steam and hydro turbine generator equipment.

To obtain maximum bond strength in the recasting process of Babbitt bearings, engineers therefore use the centrifugal casting method, as it ensures a superior metallurgical bond and consistent quality.

Other casting methods (Static casting, TIG and Puddling, and Metalizing) are also available for:

Fan Bearings
Motor Bearings
Ball Mill Bearings
Tilt Pad Bearings
Thrust Shoes
Pillow Blocks
Hydrogen Seals
Engine bearings comprising main and crankpin bearings.
Alternator bearings for high-capacity engines, turbines, rotors, and various application
