Corrosion

exhibits opposite characteristic to brittle. High ductility enables copper to be easily shaped into thin wire. Generally the advantages of copper and its alloy include: • Excellent electrical conductivity • Excellent heat conductivity • Good corrosion resistance • Good machinability • Retention of mechanical and electrical properties at cryogenic temperatures. •…

Flint residents started noticing a difference in color, taste together with the smell coming from their water. In order to make the water completely safe to drink, it would have to be treated with an anti-corrosion agent, costing the state of Michigan $100 per day. Instead of adding the anti-corrosion agent, the City’s mayor along with other city officials drank the water on public television to ensure it was safe to drink. A number of complaints of rashes mainly in children coming from the…

Four Reasons Aluminum Is One of the Best Choices for Your Metal Needs Aluminum is thought by many to be the best choice for applications involving metal. Most people think of soda cans when they think of aluminum, but there are a great many other applications that make this the preferred choice for design work by engineers. The following are only a few of the most important reasons that aluminum is so popular. It is recyclable This is on top of the list because natural resources are limited,…

welding rods. Jewelers cut and polish titanium dioxide crystals to make a gemstone called titania. ium are stronger than steel objects of the same weight.Titanium alloys are also used in artificial knee and hip joints, pacemakers, and other durable, corrosion-resistant devices designed for use inside the body. In addition, alloys of the metal are used to make durable, lightweight tools, surgical instruments, armor plating, steam-turbine blades, and golf clubs, bicycles, Titanium ranks as the…

There are many elements that humans come in contact with every day. One of these elements is ruthenium, and you see it almost every day if you use pens, electronics, or jewelry. There are many sources, uses, and health hazards for the element of ruthenium. Here are the locations where you can find ruthenium. There are two places in the world where you can find the element ruthenium. You can find it on the continent of North America in Canada and on the continent of Europe in Russia. In…

16 years ago in Walkerton, Ontario, the water supply became polluted with E.coli. In May 2000, 2321 residents of the city turned ill due to the polluted water and about 7 residents died. Almost identically in Flint, Michigan, a water crisis created by mankind, which started almost 5 years ago when in order to save money, the government made a decision to switch water sources from the Lake Huron to The Flint River. The Flint water crisis started back in 2011, the city's water source was…

titanium alloys. 2. Alpha –beta titanium alloys. 3. Beta titanium alloys. Commercially pure titanium alloys Alpha-beta titanium alloys Beta titanium alloy Medium Strength Strength ranges from Medium to High. Very high strength Corrosion Resistant Corrosion Resistant Corrosion Resistant Good creep strength Good creep strength Non heat treatable Heat treatable Heat treatable Not weldable Weldable Excellent mechanical properties at cryogenic temperature Good forming properties Readily Formable…

technology to improve the corrosion resistance of SS 316 stainless steel. The electrolyte used in this study is phosphoric acid, sulphuric acid, glycerin, and distilled water. They found that the electrolyte gap was 5mm and polishing time was 5 min produced better surface finish. The surface roughness improvement by more than threefold was seen. These values may be different for different variables such as electrolyte and cathode material. Further the result on corrosion resistance was also…

the quality of the system. Furthermore, it seeks to establish if the system fulfils the requirements of the customers. Customer Specifications The customer requires the rugged computer system to operate in a salt environment without elements of corrosion. Besides, the component of the system should be water resistant (splash proof). Since lifeboats are used in the rough seas and in environments with extreme temperatures…
