Babbitt white metal has soft and amazing properties when used as a bearing material. The Babbitt white metal has the advantage over the other materials as it can be used for repairing the old, heavy-duty Babbitt bearings. The Babbitt white metal is easy to bond to bronze, cast iron, and steel-based shells. It is known for its corrosion resistance.
RA Power Solutions manufactures commonly known as lead-based and tin-based Babbitt white metal ingots. These ingots are manufactured as per the client’s requirements in terms of metallurgical composition and weight.
BABBITT WHITE METAL | LEAD-BASED
It is the most common Babbitt metal which is used for manufacturing bearings. It contains more than 75% of lead alloy. The lead-based Babbitt metal also contains antimony and tin.
The lead-based Babbitt white metal is well-known for its excellent corrosion properties and is ideally used for the major components on board the ship. It can absorb high levels of moisture and humidity.
TIN-BASED BABBITT METAL
It has more than 80% of tin alloy and some % of antimony, lead, and copper. For the requirement in the food industry, the tin-based Babbitt recommended is free of lead which is considered to be harmful.
The tin based Babbitt has the inherent properties of low wear and tear and a very low line of friction resistance.
The tin based Babbitt metal is ideally used for mechanical equipment and it is also capable of taking heavy loads commonly used for compressors, diesel engines, electric motors, marine applications, etc.
We manufacture Babbitt white metal ingots strictly as per the client’s specifications or as per the international grades. All the orders executed by us are supported with metallurgical composition reports from a government-approved lab.
