Does anyone have a reference that lists the composition of Westinghouse #25 alloy?

I'm betting it is a tin lead babbit, which typically has some copper to strengthen it, but no
references.

I'm inclined to think it one of the 50%+ lead babbitts as the bars weigh about 5.5# and are harder than lino.

I have about 50# of the stuff and might sell it as "enrichment alloy" if I had better answers as to what was in it.
