Babbitt white metal of different grades as per international standards and specifications is manufactured by RA Power Solutions. The Babbitt metal is generally used as a thin layer of coating in bearings, pads, and other applications.
The Babbitt white metal is considered to be soft and is applied generally when the diameter of the shaft and the load from the bearing are high. The main advantage of applying Babbitt white metal is that it has a long life, less friction, excellent lubrication properties, and can be repaired easily. The Babbitt white metal is manufactured and exported by us to various countries. The grade and specifications of Babbitt ingots vary from customer to customer and application.
