← HistoryWhich maintenance risk existed historically for bronze-tipped plows?
A)Rapid galvanic electrochemical corrosion✓
B)Formation of catastrophic work hardening
C)Hydrogen embrittlement decreased hardness
D)Plowing induced creep deformation failure
💡 Explanation
Electrochemical galvanic corrosion between bronze and soil minerals accelerates when moisture is present because the bronze acts as an anode, promoting oxidation; therefore, bronze corrodes faster than expected, rather than experiencing embrittlement or creep under typical plowing loads.
