Tin base and lead base alloys are used for bearing materials. Tin compared to lead has lower_________________?
Correct answer: B. Abundant availability
- A. Price
- B. Abundant availability
- C. Thermal conductivity
- D. Corrosion resistance
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.
