Tin base and lead base alloys are used for bearing materials. Tin compared to lead has lower_________________?

Correct answer: D. Abundant availability

  • A. Price
  • B. Corrosion resistance
  • C. Thermal conductivity
  • D. Abundant availability

Explanation

Tin is much less abundant than lead, so tin-based bearing alloys are generally more expensive and less readily available. Tin has better corrosion resistance and higher thermal conductivity than lead, making abundance the lower property listed.
