As best as I can tell "Fahrig" was an old general term for composite metals that when poured in place or a mold required vented risers to form properly. Seems that Babbitt metal would be synonymous but it was patented !

Fahrig metal was made by Fahrig Metals in Washburn, Wisconsin, owned in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by Hermann C. Fahrig.
