Tin Babbitt is an ideal journal bearing material, because of its microstructural properties, which qualifies these alloys as a bearing material. Effect of the Babbitt die casting (ASTM B23 Alloy 2) on its microstructure and the hardness properties were studied. The forward extrusion type was carried out using cosine profile and the five different reduction area such 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 40%. The results show that the refinement of hard phases of Cu6Sn5 and SbSn led to increasing the hardness value after casting, and after extrusion for all reduction percent, except reduction 40%, the dynamic recrystallization is dominant which led to hardness decrease. The result also shows that the extrusion pressure increases with increasing the reduction value. Moreover, cold deformation improved the hardness properties for Babbitt alloy by refinement of the Cu6Sn5 phase.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
