Question 3430 Deck General

The correct answer is C) Examine the area by magnetic particle inspection. After repairing a surface crack on a link of anchor chain by grinding, it is crucial to inspect the area using magnetic particle inspection. This non-destructive testing method can detect any remaining cracks or flaws in the chain link that may have been missed during the grinding process. This is important to ensure the structural integrity of the chain and prevent potential failure during use. The other options, such as post-heat treatment (A) or galvanizing (B), are not sufficient to verify the quality of the repair. Replacing the entire chain (D) may not be necessary if the inspection confirms the integrity of the repaired link.
