History

Which outcome manifested from 'wrought iron' production inconsistencies during 19th-century shipbuilding?

A)Galvanic corrosion accelerated hull weakening
B)Cementation increased fatigue crack propagation
C)Lamination exacerbated catastrophic plate failures
D)Puddling reduced elasticity in forged parts

💡 Explanation

Lamination defects in 'puddled' wrought iron, formed during the hammer-welding process, created weak planes; because these planes were prone to delamination under stress, catastrophic plate failures occurred, therefore ships were prone to sudden hull breaches, rather than gradual corrosion.
