	Babbitt metal - WOI Encyclopedia Italia
		Babbitt metal, also called white metal, is an alloy used to provide the bearing surface in a plain bearing.
		Babbitt metal is soft and easily damaged, and seems at first sight an unlikely candidate for a (mechanical) bearing surface, but this appearance is deceptive.
		The inner surface of the steel shell is plated with a coating of bronze which is in turn coated with a thin layer of Babbitt metal as the bearing surface.

		Babbitt metal an antifriction metal first produced by Isaac Babbitt in 1839.
		In present-day usage the term is applied to a whole class of silver-white bearing metals, or "white metals." These alloys usually consist of relatively hard crystals embedded in a softer matrix, a structure important for machine bearings.
		They are composed primarily of tin, copper, and antimony, with traces of other metals added in some cases and lead substituted for tin in others.

	White metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The white metals are any of several light-colored alloys used as a base for plated silverware, ornaments or novelties, as well as any of several lead-base or tin-base alloys used for things like bearings, jewellery, miniature figures, fusible plugs and metal type.
		Some of the metals that make up a white metal alloy are antimony, tin, lead, cadmium, bismuth, and zinc.
		Not all of these metals are found in all white metal alloys but are mixed to achieve a desired goal or need.

	History of Babbitt Bearings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Modern babbitts provide a low-friction lining for bearing shells made of stronger metals such as cast iron, steel, or bronze.
		High-tim babbitts, for example, consist of a relatively soft, solid matrix of tin in which are distributed hard copper-tin needles and tin-antimony cuboids.
		Even under severe operating conditions, where high loads, fatigue problems, or high temperature dictate the use of other stronger materials, babbits are often employed as a thin surface coating to obtain the advantage of their good rubbing characteristics.

		At one time, though, bearings were cast from Babbitt metal, an alloy of tin, antimony and lead.
		"...It is common practice to babbitt the main bearings of marine engines, and this material gives entire satisfaction, notwithstanding the enormous weight of the crankshaft and other parts, connecting-rods, crossheads, pistons and piston rods, to say nothing of the extra weight brought to bear by the steam pressure.
		In such cases, the babbitt is poured over a mandrel somewhat smaller than the desired finished size and later is thoroughly peened.

		On July 26, 1799, inventor and metallurgist Isaac Babbitt was born in Taunton, Massachusetts.
		Babbitt was a goldsmith by trade, and therefore naturally interested in the production of alloys.
		In 1824, Babbitt and a collaborator started a company to produce products made of "britannia metal," a pewter-like alloy that was then quite popular as a substitute for silver; it was used in utensils, cups, inkstands and similar wares.
