Tin based Babbitt white metal
The tin based Babbitt white metal is the material which contains more than 80% tin alloy. It may also contain a lesser percentage of antimony, lead and copper. Some of the tin based Babbitt metals are free of lead mainly for the equipments used in the food industry.
The tin-based Babbitt metal has the inherent property to provide low wear and tear due to low friction resistance.
Lead-based Babbitt white metal
Lead-based Babbitt white metal is also a commonly used bearing material as it contains 75% or more of lead alloy. It also contains tin and antimony. The lead-based metal has excellent corrosion, capabilities and is used for marine applications.
Generally speaking, lead based Babbitt white metal is used for the shaft RPM of 100 to 1000 maximum.
