Based on information provided in the case, Ford has many strengths in the U.S. automobile industry, and few weaknesses. Ford’s size and strong recent financial performance are both strengths given Ford’s access to capital. However, it’s greatest strengths lie in customer loyalty, commitment to quality, and a superior ESP program. Ford has competitive customer loyalty rates, which are currently at 46%. This is likely due to Ford’s commitment to quality and productivity, which it prioritizes over…

structure until nothing else is left unless adequate prevention measures are taken. Here to explain how to protect your wrought iron gates and fences this winter is Elsmere Ironworks, Cincinnati, OH's leading iron fabricators. Galvanization: For corrosion protection that lasts a lifetime, ask Elsmere Ironworks about hot-dip galvanization for your outdoor fencing and railings. This method essentially sacrifices a different type of metal to the elements, such as zinc, aluminum, or magnesium,…

In Elmira, NY, 65,000 residents rely on the Elmira Water Board to provide a fresh source of surface water. Local filtration plant produces on a daily average 2.26 billion gallons of fresh drinking water, which approximately 6.2 million gallons are used on average each day. Approximately, six million residents of the state consume an average 110 gallons of drinking water per day, per person. New York State Dept. of Health evaluates the water quality throughout the state as well as the Elmira…

The cause of a leak that spilled more than 140,000 gallons of crude on the Santa Barbara was of external corrosion in May.The spill occurred after pumps on the Plains All American Pipeline. This is were shut down and restarted, sending a larger volume of oil surging through the 2-foot-wide pipe at higher pressure. This company is known with a history of violations. After the leak, the alarm in the system was sent off and did not shut down for about 30 minutes.State and federal prosecutors are…

In this lab we took a dull penny from before the year 1970 and changed its color to a shiny gold with the help of chemistry. First, we used a vinegar and salt mixture and scrubbed it onto the penny. This process cleaned all of the dark corrosion spots away and made the copper color shine like new, which then allowed us to have a clean surface to experiment on. This was mostly a physical change but their was a slight chemical reaction because of the acidity of the vinegar. We then heated granular…

After removing all four wheels from the vehicle you need to buff the inside part of the tire and the hub of the vehicle. If you do not buff both of these corrosion can build up between the two pieces of metal, or on the studs of the car. When corrosion builds up on the hub of the vehicle it can cause the tire to not be completely flush, thus making the car bumpy or making the tire fall of. If the studs aren 't buffed it can cause the lugs to be stripped…

that it will not replace the mobile handset on unfair suspicions that it “showed effects of personal negligence that resulted in battery corrosion”. Consumer Response The consumer reiterated that the iPhone was never exposed to liquid of any sort, and subsequent demands for consumer service was encountered with the absurd and illogical excuse that the corrosions resulted from regular exposure to midair and Apple still will not fix or replace the mobile handset free of charge and accused the…

strong, ductile, have high melting points and are excellent conductors of electricity. Other properties of metals are given below: • Can be made stronger by alloys and heat treatment. • Easily machined. • Most of them are heavy. • Susceptible to corrosion. Metals can be divided into two; Ferrous and Non-ferrous. Ferrous metals Ferrous metals are those which contain iron and small amount of other elements. Normally, most of them are magnetic. They are more susceptible to rusting when exposed to…

high chromium content form thin film of Cr2O3 and (Cr, Ni)3O4 on the surface when exposed to moist air at high temperature and this film provides excellent oxidation resistance. Ni-Cr alloys with chromium content greater than 16% provides excellent corrosion resistance through formation of passive film on surface. When Mn and Mo are added to Ni-Cr alloys, pitting resistance is improved. In sulphur environments, Cr2S3 is formed on the surface and protects the Ni. Thus high Cr alloys provide…

So it acts as an anti-jamming feature and greatly reduces your chances of jamming. Lifetime Warranty for Mechanical Defects and Lifetime Warranty against Corrosion One important thing when you're buying a product is the warranty period. Most garbage disposer offer a warranty period of between one to five years. If you're like me, you'll happy to know this model does not offer one, but two lifetime warranties…
