Question 69Gas Turbine - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passCadmium and zinc coatings provide which of the following type of protection for the base metal?
ASealant.
BChemical.
CThermal.
DSacrificial.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Sacrificial. Cadmium and zinc coatings provide sacrificial protection for the base metal. This means that the coatings are more reactive than the underlying metal, so they preferentially corrode and protect the base metal from corrosion. As the coating is consumed, it sacrifices itself to preserve the integrity of the base metal. This type of protection is commonly used on marine vessels and other applications where corrosion resistance is crucial. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the type of protection provided by cadmium and zinc coatings. Sealant, chemical, and thermal protection are different mechanisms that do not apply in this case.
