Q

Babbitt is a metal alloy commonly used for lining __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Babbitt metal properties and typical uses in marine engines • Where low-friction, anti-seizing surfaces are needed between moving parts • Difference between a bearing, a journal, and associated engine components

💭 Think About

• On an engine, which component actually gets a soft, low-friction lining to protect a harder rotating shaft? • Is Babbitt metal usually the rotating part or the stationary surface that supports rotation? • Which choice describes the surface that is lined rather than the part that runs inside it?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is the supporting surface that carries a rotating shaft. • Recall that Babbitt is a soft, anti-friction material, not a strong structural alloy. • Eliminate options that are normally made of hard, wear-resistant steel or cast iron without a soft lining.
