Babbitt Bearing Alloy Wire

Application

Babbitt B-88 wire can be used for various types of spray metallizing, including flame spraying. This is due to its soft composition, high feed speeds, and low level of spatter. These characteristics allow for easy and economical application of babbitt coatings onto other objects and materials.
