I have a welder friend who gave me some Babbitt
I have 5 4lb bars that are marked "GENERAL PURPOSE BABBITT METAL"
Made by the Gardiner Metal Co. Chicago Ill. there is no other markings on it, When I drop this on cement it will "thunk" like lead. I believe this to be some sort of lead based Babbitt, but I have tried to Google this company and Babbitt type and no luck.
The other Babbitt I have is long triangle bars that are just marked "BAB" but these will make a ringing sound when dropped on concrete, I think this is a type of tin based Babbitt. I have some where around 30 LBS of this type Babbitt.
SO I guess the triangle bars are some type of mystery Babbitt, but is any one familiar with the other Babbitt ?
Thanks
