Abstract
Tin Babbitt is an ideal journal bearing material, because of its microstructural properties, which qualifies these alloys as a bearing material. Effect of the Babbitt die casting (ASTM B23 Alloy 2) on its microstructure and the hardness properties were studied. The forward extrusion type was carried out using cosine profile and the five different reduction area such 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 40%. The results show that the refinement of hard phases of Cu6Sn5 and SbSn led to increasing the hardness value after casting, and after extrusion for all reduction percent, except reduction 40%, the dynamic recrystallization is dominant which led to hardness decrease. The result also shows that the extrusion pressure increases with increasing the reduction value. Moreover, cold deformation improved the hardness properties for Babbitt alloy by refinement of the Cu6Sn5 phase.
