I stand corrected, some of these alloys use less than 40% tin, a small amount of silicon, and the rest is aluminum. It has some embedability and However, babbit has not been abandoned, it is still widely used, even for some high performance applications.

Yes babbit is still widely used, especially in main bearing applications.
