I have done some reading here and searched the net but can't find info on these ingots.

Is the one marked 40/60 lead/tin or tin/lead?

The other has only Babbitt 50 and Special T,,,, Anyone here have an idea on it's composition?

There are lots of clues on the second pic. What has YOUR research revealed?

Absolutely nothing! The manufacturer is still in business but it looks as if they have new designations for everything.

Request a MSDS sheet. That might get their attention.
