Question 4298 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 important to inspect the area using magnetic particle inspection. This non-destructive testing method can detect any remaining cracks or other defects in the chain link that may have been missed or created during the grinding process. Proper inspection is crucial to ensure the integrity and safety of the repaired chain before it is placed back into service. The other options, such as post-heat treatment (A) or galvanizing (B), are not sufficient to verify the structural soundness of the repair. Replacing the entire chain (D) may not be necessary if the inspection confirms the repair was successful.
