The bearing shells of the reciprocating engine are damaged, and the crankcase is filled with copper-like metal fragments. What are these metal fragments? Where from? Should babbitt alloy be silver-white?
The material of the wafer isn’t babbitt, right? It’s probably copper tiles
It’s copper tiles; our company used to use the same ones as well
What we damaged is the large tile. Aren’t copper tiles usually small-topped tiles?
It’s the big-end bearing for the connecting rod; it should be made of babbitt alloy.
Does the copper sleeve refer to the part beneath the babbitt alloy? The large-end bearings in this section are severely damaged, while the other large-end and small-end bearings as well as the main shaft bearings are not damaged. Please help analyze the reason for this.
Piston compressors have babbitt bearings only in the crankcase area; other parts do not have them. All that’s left is the connecting rod area, which has a copper sleeve
The bearing shell is made of copper, with babbitt cast on it
That must be the copper bearing body beneath the babbitt layer, right?
Check the material of the bearing shells; they’re worn out!
