Babbitt metals used for making bearings are _________________?

Correct answer: A. Tin or lead based alloys

  • A. Tin or lead based alloys
  • B. Short of antifrictional properties
  • C. Having homogenous microstructure
  • D. Yellow metals

Explanation

Babbitt bearing metals are soft tin-based or lead-based alloys designed to provide antifriction properties and embed small contaminant particles. They are white metals, not yellow metals, and their useful structure is not simply homogeneous.
