Hand over the Babbitt B16

Characteristics and Applications

Babbitt B16 is a bearing alloy composed of tin, antimony, copper, and lead. Its typical composition includes approximately 16% tin (Sn), 16% antimony (Sb), 2% copper (Cu), and 66% lead (Pb). This material is known for its wear resistance, ability to withstand elevated temperatures, and excellent anti-friction properties, making it suitable for use in axle and motor bearings of heavy machinery.

Material Features

• Lead is the dominant component in Babbitt B16, while copper enhances the alloy’s properties by increasing hardness and toughness.
• The alloy is commonly used in bearings for electric locomotives, diesel locomotives, and ships, as well as in ball mills, tube mills, crushing equipment, and low-power diesel engine bearings.
• These components are subject to high operational loads and are frequently replaced.

Properties:

• High wear resistance
• Low thermal conductivity
• High viscosity (good embeddability and conformability)
• Excellent anti-friction performance
• Corrosion resistance

Babbitt B16 does not have high elasticity, so it is typically used in applications with moderate loads rather than extreme-duty conditions.
