Abstract
Bimetallic material has been extensively employed as an advanced functional material in different industrial applications for its unique physical and mechanical properties. Bi-metallic material can be fabricated by bonding of similar and dissimilar materials. Variety of physical and chemical properties, such as wettability, reactivity, phase transformation, as well as thermal properties must be compatible to bond each other. The results showed that bonding interface area of heat treated Babbitt/steel bimetal using tinning mixture of flux+ Sn was improved by 9%. Otherwise, bonding interface area of heat treated Babbitt/steel bimetal using tinning mixture of flux + Sn + glycerol and, flux +Sn + petroleum jelly was improved by 93% and 70% respectively. For all used tinning conditions, the interface thickness layer increase with heat treatment process of Babbitt/steel bimetal.
