Question 2150 Deck General

The correct answer is D) More resistance to corrosion. The 6X19 class of wire rope has a more compact and rigid construction compared to the 6X37 class. This makes the 6X19 class more resistant to corrosion, as there are fewer individual wires exposed to the elements. The tighter construction also provides greater protection for the inner core of the wire rope. In contrast, the 6X37 class has a more flexible construction with more individual wires, making it more susceptible to corrosion over time. While the 6X37 class may be better suited for towing applications, the 6X19 class is generally preferred when corrosion resistance is a primary concern.
