I replied but looks like too late.

What would all that weigh? Just curious for future if I would be able to throw it in the back of my car or something like this would require a trailer.

Good question! I was wondering if I could get away with carrying it all home in my Honda Civic. I estimate the Civic has a load capacity of an extra 650 lbs. I'm guessing I would be close to or exceeding the limit.

I think you would have to spread it around might be a bit much for just the trunk.

That would have been a score. I had not heard of it before but that doesn't count for much. Looks like a tougher, more versatile version of 4140?

So after some persuading he let me bring it home. It turned out to be about 450 lbs a little less than I anticipated. Easy haul for my Civic.

Nice haul. Looks like a half ingot of babbit too or maybe just lead?

 

[architect]

Nice! Let me know if you are willing to sell off a few Looking for some material to practice on.

 

[Janger]

Is that ingot of material stamped “arctic metal “ the babbit?

 

[francist]

That’s what I’m thinking. I wasn’t able to find much on “Arctic Metal” other than modern electric guitars but I may sniff around some more. I have a Canada Metal ingot of lead here that makes a great bit of winter ballast in the truck — I think it weighs about 100lbs.

Theres more here than I can use, PM me.

Doesn't seem to weigh enough to be lead or Babbit. I'll try to calculate the density at day light and see what conclusions that can give me.

 

[Canadium]

So I weighed and measured and concluded that it is indeed something like lead. Weighs about 2.24 kg and has a volume of about 222 cubic cm. For this volume Babbit would only be about 1.6kg and lead should be about 2.5kg. So it is likely some alloy of lead that is close to pure lead.

 

[francist]

Interesting, and nice work on the calculations. I’m no expert in babbitt but I think there’s a number of different alloys and mixes that were used depending on the application. Still couldn’t find anything on the foundry but I’m sure there were a ton of them out east.

For Babbitt it has different mixes depending on required speed and conditions.

Nice and square - in AB everything is always round and to get square I have to modify round stuff. All the time.

I found this for H13

Thats too funny! All I have now is square stuff and I will now have to go out of my way hunting for round stuff!
