🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between metal type and engine component materials (iron vs non-ferrous bearing metals) • What type of wear products appear in lube oil when piston rings and cylinder liners wear • Typical oil analysis indicators for air filtration problems vs mechanical wear

💭 Think About

• Which engine parts are mainly made of iron or cast iron, and would shed iron particles when worn? • What metals are bearings usually made of, and would high iron levels point directly to bearing problems? • If air filtration were poor, what kind of contamination (think dust or dirt composition) would you expect to see in an oil sample instead of iron?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match the metal in the sample (iron) to the likely engine component material that is iron or cast iron • Recall that most main and crank bearings use non-ferrous metals (like babbitt), not iron • For air filtration issues, verify what elements dust typically contains (e.g., silicon) rather than iron
