← HistoryWhich consequence results when early steel ship construction utilized wrought iron rivets?
A)Increased hull electrolytic corrosion rates✓
B)Decreased susceptibility to hogging forces
C)Faster barnacle accumulation on the hull
D)Reduced compressive strength in plates
💡 Explanation
Electrolytic corrosion accelerates because the galvanic series position of wrought iron yields to that of steel in saltwater, creating a galvanic cell. Therefore, faster corrosion occurs rather than improved stress resistance, increased biofouling or less effective compressive performance in the plates.
