🔍 Key Concepts

• Properties of common bearing materials such as Babbitt, bronze/copper alloys, Monel, and zinc • What is required of a precision split bearing (load-carrying ability, embeddability, conformability, and compatibility with the shaft material) • Typical lining materials used in modern marine main and crank bearings

💭 Think About

• Which of these metals or alloys is known for being soft enough to embed small particles yet strong enough to carry load? • Which material is traditionally associated with white-metal bearing linings in engines and turbines? • Think about which of these is used primarily for corrosion resistance (like in seawater) versus which is designed specifically as a bearing lining.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is commonly referred to as a white metal bearing material used in engines and turbines. • Eliminate materials that are mainly used for corrosion resistance rather than as the primary precision bearing lining. • Confirm which material is described in your study materials as the standard lining for precision split-type bearings in modern practice.
