Babbitt metal is a tin-based or lead-based bearing alloy with anti-friction properties. Because of its white color, it is also known as "white alloy".

It is composed of a mixture of metals such as tin, lead, antimony, and copper.

It is mainly used to manufacture high-speed, heavy-duty bearings to reduce friction and provide excellent impact and wear resistance, thereby reducing friction and extending equipment life.

Applied to

• Bearings for heavy industrial equipment, such as large equipment in cement, steel, chemical, papermaking, and petroleum machinery industries.

• Aerospace: Bearings for aircraft engines and gas turbines, due to their high temperature resistance and thermal stability.

• Marine engineering: Equipment such as diving platforms and offshore drilling platforms, resistant to seawater and corrosive media.

• Metallurgy and glass manufacturing: Equipment such as rolling mills and drawing machines, capable of handling high temperatures and corrosive gases.

• Food processing and pharmaceuticals: Equipment such as centrifuges and transfer pumps, which meet hygiene standards and are corrosion-resistant.

• Medical equipment, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment, is used due to its non-magnetic and corrosion-resistant properties.
