What type of metal used in bearings and bushings?

Ball, roller, and needle bearings are made of various hard steel alloys. Bushings are coated with either a soft alloy called Babbitt metal or a plastic over the contact surface. This coating slowly wears away, protecting the shaft and journal from direct contact.


Are alloys liquid solutions?

Several alloys can be considered solid solutions.

What is nickel babbitt?

Nickel Babbitt is a proprietary poured bearing alloy. It contains tin, antimony, zinc, and about 0.5% nickel (alloys of this class are referred to as XXXX Nickel). It has low friction and has high thermal conductivity to resist high temperatures. Other babbitt load-bearing alloys may include lead and copper. One alloy used by Henry Ford for crankshaft bearings was 86% tin, 7% copper, and 7% antimony.
