Babbitt Bearing Alloys
Coined from the name of Isaac Babbitt, the white metal alloy got its name in Babbitt in 1839. Other white metals containing tin, copper, and antimony have been referred to as Babbitt over time. you can occasionally replace tin with lead. Is Babbitt metal an alloy?
Babbitt Bearing Alloys
Feature
Usage:
Babbitt metal, also spelled Babbitt Metal, is any of several tin- or lead-based alloys used as bearing material for axles and crankshafts.
Bearing Pouring Instructions
No oil can seep between the liner and shell of the bearing because of the babbitt, which we must carefully pour into a dense, solid mass. When the Babbitt and shell do not have a solid bond, oil seeps in, and hydrostatic pressures build-up, causing the babbitt to vibrate and eventually crumble as a result.
Select the correct babbitt and pour your bearings as follows to ensure long-life bearings:
Clean the Bearing Shell
Remove foundry scale, dirt or rust with grinding wheel, sand blast, file, wire brush, or by chipping. Remove all oil or grease, either by burning or by scouring with hot caustic solution. (If caustic is used, rinse thoroughly with hot water.)
Heat the Bearing Shell
If the shell has been heated to remove oil, no further heating may be needed. Otherwise, heat to about 500?F., being careful to heat evenly. Remove any soot with wire brush.
Apply flux
Apply flux to the surface of the bearing shell and immediately rub with a bar of Tin or 50/50 Solder. Work as fast as possible–use flux liberally. As soon as each area has been covered with tin or solder and while the shell is still hot, scrub the surface with a soft wire brush. This bonds the tinning material to the bearing shell
After Tinning Is Completed
While still hot, wipe surplus flux and tinning alloy from surface with a woolen cloth.
Stir Babbitt
To ensure uniform temperature throughout, stir the metal thoroughly from bottom to top. Skim dross from surface.
Use Large Ladle
If possible, use a ladle large enough to pour the entire bearing at one dipping. If not possible, use two ladles, pouring simultaneously. Immerse ladles in babbitt pit for five minutes before pouring, to properly heat them.
Continue To Add Babbitt
As the babbitt begins to shrink down into the bearing, continue to add molten metal to prevent formation of shrinks and to assure a denser mass. Pouring temperatures listed in the descriptions are subject to variation depending on size of bearing and temperature of bearing shell.

Bismuth
Feature Of 99.99% Pure Bismuth Metal
Usage:
Reloaders can now use a Bismuth Shot alternative that is lead-free and non-toxic. For waterfowl and upland game birds, Rotometals Bismuth Shot is an excellent alternative to lead shot. Bismuth Shot from Rotometals is a superb alternative to lead-free ballast weight and has a density similar to lead.
You can still use the Bismuth shot in a variety of ways! Like those on a golf ball, the small satellites or tails on BBs help reduce air drag by making them less sticky in the air. Bismuth Shot is the only non-toxic shot that performs as close to lead as any other non-toxic shot.
Accessibility:
Very few Bismuth Shot manufacturers produce “perfectly round” rounds today.

Zinc Anodes
Usage:
Anodes protect buried or submerged metal structures from corrosion. A sacrificial zinc anode works by “sacrificing” itself between two other metals. The anode will corrode before the other two metals. Anodes are used in many applications, from boats to offshore pipelines, and should be changed annually.
Rotometals provide high-quality zinc anodes. They also have zinc ingots, cast rods, extruded rods, and wire.
Over 70% of North American zinc die castings use Zamak 3 ingots. From Zamak 3 to Zamak ZA 8 ingots, we guarantee you won’t find better zinc products at better prices. Shop their zinc metal products today!
Zincs-Pencil/Engine
Sacrificial anodes, pencil anodes, and engine anodes are all terms for zinc rods that are consumed by electrolytic action to protect your expensive equipment from damage and deterioration, and corrosion.
They have cut zinc roof strips for many exterior purposes. We stock.7mm/.027″ thick sheets in both Natural Zinc and Pre-Patina finishes. A zinc sheet is ideal for both exterior and interior architectural applications. This product meets all ENG 988 Standards.
Usage:
Zinc’s natural self-healing properties protect your zinc roof for years. The blue-gray patina and natural surface of zinc blend well with most building materials and environments, both modern and traditional. In addition, these zinc panels can be used for rain goods like gutters and downspouts.
Zinc Armor is designed to inhibit the growth of moss, algae, mildew, and fungus on roofs, concrete, asphalt, and other surfaces. They offer both standard and heavy-duty in.008″ (34 gauge) (22 gauge). Each inch of Zinc Armor protects 10′ of roofing.

#2- Does your free shipping cover all orders?
Free shipping applies to website orders of $149.00 (USD) or less for small items that fit in 12″ or smaller boxes. Larger items like zinc and lead sheets, boat and pot anodes, and lead bricks are exempt from free shipping rules. Anything marked “free freight” or “freight included” ships free. Orders placed by phone, fax, or email do not qualify for free shipping. Free shipping is only for US orders.
#3- Can I get my metal quicker?
They always do their best to get it out to you within 24 hours if you select a defined shipping service speed during checkout.
#4- What is the hardest metal?
Tungsten is the strongest natural metal in terms of the tensile strength (142,000 psi). But tungsten is a brittle metal that shatters on impact. Titanium has a tensile strength of 63,000 psi.
#5- What affects an alloy’s hardness?
Carbon content, grain size, and alloying elements can all be used to calculate the hardenability and rate of austenite transformation. Carbon provides hardness, while alloying elements determine how deep it occurs.
#6- Do you ship internationally?
They only ship to Connecticut law enforcement and active military personnel; they do not ship to other states. They cannot ship to APOs.
#7- How does AR500 Armor protect against multiple hits, single hits, and stabs?
Body armor AR500 usually outperforms the industry standard in multi-hit capability in the rated calibers. Ceramic and Kevlar, for example, are more easily damaged when struck in the face. It frequently loses material and becomes useless after a few rounds. Due to its advanced steel core, AR500 Armor loses very little material after a strike. Instead of the steel core, we use a protective coating on the exterior to reduce spall and fragmentation. This increases our armor’s Multi-Hit capability while extending its lifespan.
#8- Is my privacy guaranteed?
Your personal information is kept strictly confidential and will not be used in ways you have not consented to. They will also never sell your information to a third party.
