BS 3338-14 standard is a part of the BS 3338 series that discusses the sampling of white metal bearing alloy ingots for the sampling and analysis of tin and tin alloys. Tin is alloyed with lead to produce solders with melting points lower than those of either tin or lead. Small amounts of various metals, notably antimony and silver, are added to tin-lead solders to increase their strength.
BS 3338-14 on tin alloy applies to:
Tin is alloyed with lead to produce solders with melting points lower than those of either tin or lead. Small amounts of various metals, notably antimony and silver, are added to tin-lead solders to increase their strength. The alloys used in white metal bearings are also called Babbitt metals. These metals have a low melting point and offer very good resistance to friction. The alloys included in the bearing makeup will determine what applications the bearing is best suited to.
BS 3338-14 provides you with the procedure which includes the selection of ingots, preparation of surfaces and sampling of the selected ingots. This standard helps you as it provides materials that are hard and wear-resistant and have a low coefficient of friction.
BS 3338-14 exemplifies the sampling of white metal bearing alloy ingots for the sampling and analysis of tin and tin alloys.
