Babbitt metal, also known as white metal, is a type of bearing alloy typically used in the construction of bearings for machines and engines. It is composed of a combination of metals such as tin, copper, antimony, and lead. The primary use of Babbitt metal is as a lining material in bearings, where it helps reduce friction and wear between moving parts.

o   Bearings: The most common use of Babbitt metal is in the lining of journal bearings (used in engines, turbines, and motors) to reduce friction between rotating parts.

o   Machinery: Babbitt metal is also used in various types of heavy machinery where moving parts need to operate with minimal friction, such as compressors, gearboxes, and electric motors.
