Metallized Babbitt
A&A Coatings Babbitt is a special high-grade tin based (lead free) Babbitt wire made exclusively for electric arc and combustion wire spraying.
Babbitt is particularly suitable for high speed and heavy duty bearings which require coatings of the highest possible quality especially when used in critical applications. Coatings of A&A Coatings Babbitt are ductile and low in coating oxide as well as possess a bright, metallic appearance.
