This document discusses Babbitt metal, which is a white alloy used to provide low-friction bearing surfaces. It summarizes the following key points:
1) Babbitt metal was invented in 1839 by Issac Babbitt and provides an excellent bearing material due to its low coefficient of friction, even without lubrication.
2) There are two main types - tin-based and lead-based alloys - with tin-based alloys providing better performance for high-speed applications.
3) Factors like surface speed, load, and application are considered when selecting the proper Babbitt metal for a job. Modern Babbitt bearings are commonly tin-based alloys

Introduction Babbitt metal ,also called white metal. It is a white non-ferrous alloy which is used provide a bearing surface. History Babbitt was first created by Issac Babbitt.
In 1839 , he received a patent for a white metal alloy that showed excellent bearing properties. HOW BABBITT WORKS. It provides a bearing surface itself ,which relatively has low coefficient of friction .
This means ,even without lubrication ,Babbitt bearings will have much less friction than if a shaft was turning in other metal.
However ,with the addition of simple lubrication ,Babbitt bearing can have amazingly low coefficient of friction even lower than that of ball bearing . Types of Babbitt Metal Babbitt metal can generally be broken into two major families : Tin based alloy Lead based alloy Difference b/w Lead and Tin based Alloy Lead Tin The composition range from 15 to 10 % Sn ,10% tin and rest lead. The composition range from 80 to 90% tin ,3.5% Cu,4 to 14% Sn . Lead - based materials are less costly. Tin based material are costlier. They are softer than tin based alloy . On the increment of Cu & Sn increases hardness. It will work fine for most light duty &low speed applications . It is the best choice for high speed applications such as planer and jointers.
Selection of Babbitt Metal
In selecting the proper type of Babbitt for a particular job , number of factors to take into the consideration ,the most important of which are as follows: Surface speed of the shaft. Load that bearing is required to carry.
Modern Babbitt Bearing Until the mid 1950s poured Babbitt bearing were common in automotive industry.
In more modern practice , Tin based Babbitt bearing were used as they could stand up to impact load found on the connecting rod or crank shaft.
Casting of Babbitt Metal Pouring molten Metal Types of Casting Method Hand Casting :
Centrifugal Casting : Mechanical properties of Babbitt Metal Melting temperature for common Babbitt varies from 350 F (176.7 C) to 475 F (246.1 C) Babbitt has good load carrying capacity between 800 PSI (5.5 MPa) and 1500 PSI (10.3 MPa) The Tensile strength of common Babbitt bearing is about (77 MPa). Although Babbitt bearings can't take extremely high speeds, they can certainly take up to (4000 rpm) if properly lubricated.
Microstructure of Babbitt Metal Through the microstructural examination we found the following picture of structure: Advantages It can be easily machined .
It has excellent corrosion resistant properties.
It is cheap and easily available.
It reduces metallic contact and extend the bearing life. Disadvantages They are suitable for relatively low temperature.
It has low thermal conductivity.
It has less tendency for welding.
Failure of lubrication will lead to heat build up due to the friction which decreases the bearing life.
Recycling of Babbitt Metal Before re-melting and re-machining on Babbitt scrap various methods are followed by the industry to remove impurities with Babbitt scrap are as : Magnetic separator Rotary dryer Crucible furnace
Real World Application In automobile industry : As a crankshaft and connecting rod .
In rolling - element bearings : As a ball and ball bearings.
It is used as a cast iron pillow block which is assembled as a loose fit around the shaft . Conclusion The coating and repairing of boiler feed pump bearing and CWP pump has been investigated. Wire flame thermally spraying process, melting process and metallurgical analyses are employed for this purpose. A summery of conclusions is as follow: The bonding strength of thermally sprayed Babbitt layer is higher than melting processes. The hot spots which are the result of thermal barrier oil film in the Babbitt -substrate interface eliminated completely in thermally sprayed coatings.
