General Characteristics

More than half of the tin mined in the world is used in the production of white tin, which is used to make tin cans. But alloys of this metal are also very popular today. Typography, for example, uses typefaces cast from hart (an alloy of tin, antimony and lead). Today, there are more than ten thousand alloys that are in wide demand in various industries. The development of aviation, automotive industry, motor construction. is associated with the use of a huge number of bearings of different sizes - from fractions of a millimeter to meter sizes and more. To reduce the friction of the working surface of such bearings, materials with minimum friction coefficient and sufficient resistance to wear under operating conditions are used. One such material is babbitt - an alloy of tin with lead, antimony and copper. A large number of antifriction coatings are made of this alloy, for example, for car bearings, steam locomotives, aircraft bearings and other types of similar rubbing parts.

Advantages of Alloys

Tin with many other metals form alloys that have earned great popularity in many industries. Tin alloys are widely used in households and industries because of their excellent resistance to humid air, water, acids and a number of aggressive environments. Tin forms stable alloys with calcium, magnesium, zirconium, titanium and other rare earth elements. An alloy of tin with aluminum is also very popular. It is quite strong, readily available, economical, and most importantly, easy to handle at low temperatures. It has excellent corrosion resistance, excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, and high reflectivity. This alloy is a good substitute for babbitts and tin bronze, serves in the laying of high-voltage transmission lines, in the manufacture of parts for aircraft, cars and railroad transport.

Bronze

This alloy of copper and tin has been used for centuries. It is a true symbol of antiquity. Tin bronzes are used in the production of fittings, bearings and in the manufacture of antifriction parts. Deformable alloys - tin bronzes are mainly made from recycled metal. Among tin alloys, the most common are tin-phosphorus bronzes used in the production of membranes, metal mesh, springs. Other alloys, for example, zinc-tin-lead bronzes are widely used in aircraft and automotive industry.
