Effect of casting methods on the structure and properties of tin babbit

Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Dependence of the properties of babbit of grade B83 on the structure formed due to different methods of casting is determined. A novel advanced method of centrifugal casting of babbit B83 is suggested, which ensures crystallization of SnSb and Cu3Sn intermetallics from a turbulently moving melt. This not only removes segregation but also transfers the acute-angle SnSb intermetallic into a globular form.
