The addition of antimony in tin-based alloys improves its________________?
Correct answer: B. Deformation resistance
- A. Rupture strength and hot hardness
- B. Deformation resistance
- C. Impact strength and bonding strength
- D. Wear resistance
Explanation
Antimony strengthens tin-based alloys and makes them more resistant to plastic deformation under load. This strengthening is particularly useful in bearing and other low-melting alloy applications.
