After The Tinning

After tinning the shell of a Babbitt bearing I share my set-up / process to pouring a cast iron shell that uses a thin thickness of Babbitt as the bearing. Just like the 5-inch bearing we re-poured last week this 6-inch bearing is for a marine shaft. One other difference between sizes is this run in an oil bath versus the other being a grease lubrication.

Hi Kieth, When we spin casted turbine bearings we would fill the holes and voids with plaster of paris and after it sets up, we would throw it in the oven for a couple of hours to drive out the moisture. Also, on motor bearings such as the one you have there, we would either puddle or T.I.G. the babbit wire in to the tinned pre-heated shell depending on the biuldup amount needed.
After every pass, we would "Peen" the beads with a ball peen hammer to minimize shrinking and pulling on the joint lines.

Thanks for letting us know what you've been smoking.

When I started at Ford Engine Engineering - before RTV sealers came along - we had stuff everyone called “Gorilla Snot”, and another sealer called “Peanut Butter”.
My wife’s grandparents were Swedish immigrants. One day her grandmother sent one of the boys to the hardware store to buy a pound of window glass putty. The Swedish word for putty is - SHIT! No joke.

The word you're likely thinking of is "kitt", which also means putty and infrequently means shit, but in general people say "spackla" for putty, like in English.

There is a commercial right after your video, do you receive money from it?

[@KeithFenner]

I have two choices, momontize or not. Google and You Tube are in control of the commercials, acordingly to your algarythems and what they want you to see!

What would preclude filling the oil chambers with sand?

[@KeithFenner]

Good question, Babbitt bearings are soft and boured in place, giving a chance of grit or other abrasive materials a chance to be embedded and held in the surface location to start a scoring condition is why I wouldn't.
