Answer: c
Explanation: Leaded bronze is a Copper-base bearing alloy containing
75% Cu, 5% Sn, 18% Pb, and 2% Ni. They are less stronger than other
bearing bronzes. However, they can sustain higher loads than white
metals, at higher speeds.

8. Plain tin bronze contains _____ of copper.

a) 85%
b) 88%
c) 75%
d) 90%

View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Plain tin bronze is a type of Copper-base bearing alloy
which contains 85% Cu and 15% Sn. Phosphorus bronze contains 88%
Cu, whereas leaded bronze contains 75% Cu. 90% of powered Cu is
used in sintered bronzes.

Practice Test - Chapter 1 Answer: a

Practice Test - Chapter 2
Practice Test - Chapter 3
Practice Test - Chapter 4
Explanation: Tin-base bearing alloys are generally more expensive to
manufacture. This is the reason why they are being replaced with
aluminum-base alloys, as they possess similar strength and
characteristics.
