Question 2169Deck General70% to pass
Galvanizing would not be suitable for protecting wire rope which is used for _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) cargo runners.
Galvanizing is not suitable for protecting wire rope used for cargo runners because cargo runners are subjected to frequent abrasion and wear during the loading and unloading of cargo. Galvanizing, which provides a protective zinc coating, can be easily worn off in these high-wear applications, leaving the underlying wire rope vulnerable to corrosion.
In contrast, galvanizing is more suitable for protecting wire rope used in applications with lower abrasion, such as mooring wires (A), shrouds (B), and stays (C), where the galvanized coating can provide longer-lasting corrosion protection.
