CORROSION Corrosion is defined as the involuntary destruction of substances such as metals and mineral building material by surrounding media‚ which are usually liquid (i.e. corrosive agents)." Most metals corrode. During corrosion‚ they change into metallic ions. In some cases‚ the product of corrosion itself forms a protective coating. "For example‚ aluminium forms a thin protective oxide layer which is impervious to air and water. In other cases (e.g. iron)‚ however‚ the coating either flakes

Aluminum alloys are preferred due to their high strength‚ low weight and relatively low cost of fabrication. A low weight material is required to create an aircraft that cannot only lift itself‚ but more importantly the fuel it requires to operate and the cargo it must transport. Aircraft fuselages are built in the form of shells that must withstand the compression and forces applied to them without buckling (SAGES Module 2). An inherent problem with using large‚ thin sheets of aluminum alloy in the

It is useful to note that there are many diverse types of social support that can be both beneficial and/or detrimental to the recovery from depression (Arditte & Joorman‚ 2011; Blais & Renshaw‚ 2012; Dolokin‚ Panzarella‚ Fernandez‚ Alloy‚ & Cascardi‚ 2004; Grav‚ Hellzen‚ & Romild‚ 2011; Marroquin‚ 2011). This essay will cover the topics of the benefits of social support on depression‚ and how one goes about seeking and receiving social support. It will also discuss the role

The first thing that comes to your mind when you decide to go shopping for any kind of jewelry is the range of what it will cost you. White gold being after all a gold alloy; it is more expensive than silver. So‚ if you’re looking for a significant investment‚ go for white gold and you will not be disappointed. Silver‚ on the other hand‚ has always been the most affordable yet still attractive kind of jewelry. It is considerably

Corrosion is the deterioration of a metal as a result of chemical reactions between it and the surrounding environment. Both the type of metal and the environmental conditions‚ particularly what gases that are in contact with the metal‚ determine the form and rate of deterioration. The most common example of corrosion is‚ of course‚ rust. The reddish-brown compound referred to as rust is actually iron oxide (Fe2O3)‚ a result of reactions between oxygen and iron. But the oxidization of iron is

It has many uses. Magnesium is an important material that is a chief component in a number of high tensile strength‚ low density alloy. These properties allow the alloy to be very valuable in air and spacecraft construction. Also‚ the alloyed metal is used to make a large variety of other products‚

Biomaterials devices made of smart metals such as the equiatomic binary alloy‚ nickel-titanium (commonly known as nitinol)‚ may corrode when in contact with body fluids that act as a conducting electrolyte solution favourable for electrochemical corrosion. Nitinol shape memory alloys typically are covered by a naturally formed thin adherent oxide layer of titanium known as a passive film. This film is very stable and nitinol alloys are resistant to many forms of corrosive attacks; however‚ this passive
