What shape of electrode should be used to shave off a rivet while aging?

  1. Circular

  2. Triangular

  3. Rectangular/square

  4. Hexagonal

The correct answer is: Rectangular/square

Using a rectangular or square shape for an electrode would be the best option for shaving off a rivet while aging because it allows for a more uniform and efficient removal of the material. Circular or triangular electrodes may not provide enough surface area or precision for this task. Hexagonal electrodes may also not be as effective due to their angled edges, which may not fully contact the surface of the rivet. Therefore, using a rectangular or square electrode would be the most suitable option for this specific task.
