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
