Abstract
The analysis of the microstructure and properties of the tin Babbitt SnSb12Cu6Pb after heat treatment is presented in this article.
The specimens were annealed in the conditions: 100 °C and 200 °C during 2 hours and subsequently tested for Brinell hardness, bending strength and wear resistance. The wear tests were carried out using the block – on ring tester. The samples were also investigated by means of both light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Key words
Babbitt, annealing, microstructure, properties, wear resistance
