Question 42Gas Turbine - Assistant Engineer
70% to passThe only hand tools that should be used on gas turbine engines are chrome plated, nickel plated, or which of the following?
ACadmium plated
BUnplated
CSilver plated
DBronze plated
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Unplated. The reason for this is that gas turbine engines are highly sensitive to any form of metal contamination. Using chrome, nickel, cadmium, silver, or bronze plated tools can introduce microscopic metal particles that can damage the delicate components of the gas turbine. Unplated hand tools are the only safe option, as they do not risk introducing any foreign metal contamination. The other answer choices are incorrect because the plating materials mentioned can potentially flake off or corrode, leading to harmful metal particles entering the gas turbine engine.
