Turbine Bearing - Babbitt failure
Turbine Bearing - Babbitt failure
(OP)
Lots of fragments of the babbitt, some popped out. The fracture surface of the babbit looks like a fatigue surface and there is not a lot of smearing. Metengr made mention in an old posting of babbitt fatigue (see thread605-155979: Generator rotor and TG bearing to ground isolation ) and this sound like what he describes. Can anyone provide information/list reference books that would help me find my way?
Thanks.
Thanks.
