Bibliography..............................................................9 INTRODUCTION Metals and alloys undergo rusting and corrosion. The process by which some metals when exposed to atmospheric condition i.e.‚ moist air‚ carbon dioxide form undesirable compounds on the surface is known as corrosion. The compounds formed are usually oxides. Rusting is also a type of corrosion but the term is restricted to iron or products made from it. Iron is easily prone to rusting making its surface rough.

OBJECTIVE To ensure and guarantee the safety of flight‚ the materials in an aircraft used is an important element. This includes small parts like nuts‚ bolts and screw. The materials are chosen because they must have a certain features like light and extremely strong This project looks into the parts of an airplane mainly the wing. The wing of an aircraft comprises of skin‚ spar‚ ribs and stringer. We will further discuss into the properties‚ test standards and factors of the materials being chose

1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The report will mainly focus on the differences between reinforced‚ prestressed and partially stressed concrete. These concrete reinforcing methods differ in the period they have been used. Reinforced concrete was developed by a nursery owner in Paris in 1867‚ Joseph Monier‚ applying it to practical use for the first time (Salmon & Wang‚ 2007). Prestressed concrete’s discovery dates back to the late 1800’s. Freyssinet was one of the first engineers who used

Rain on Building Materials Question: What is the effect of 6M sulfuric acid (H2SO4) on the corrosion rate of the 3 grams of steel as the amount (number of sprays) of sulfuric acid increases? Variables: Independent variable: the number of sprays of 6M sulfuric acid (0‚ 5‚ 10‚ 15‚ 20‚ 25 times) to observe its effect on the corrosion rate. Each spray will contain about 10mL. Dependent variable: The corrosion rate. It will be calculated by measuring the mass of steel after leaving it for one day.

failure of an aircraft due to aging are briefly discussed as following. (a) Metallic Corrosion. The deterioration of the surface of a metal due to a chemical reaction is called metallic corrosion. This occurs because metals come in contact with electrolyte mostly contaminated water. As it arises‚ it may go undetected and result in loss of integrity of metallic structures. Since metallic corrosion is directly related to structural integrity‚ there is a dire need to look into the ground environment

plutonium and thorium are possible energy sources. To protect the environment from radioactivity‚ the fuel is cladded. For the cladding is usually zirconium alloys or stainless steels used because it should be able to let the neutrons pass and be corrosion resistant. This cladding has also the advantage to give strength to the rod. The reaction in the nuclear reactor is controlled with control rods. These control rods should be able to absorb the neutrons‚ so cadmium and boron are most of the time

Alnico magnet alloy is largely comprised of Aluminum‚ Iron‚ Cobalt and Nickel. Alnico is a moderately expensive magnet material because of the Cobalt and Nickel content. Alnico magnet alloy has high maximum operating temperature and a very good corrosion resistance. Some grades of Alnico alloy can operate upwards of 1000C. Magnets made with this alloy are available in a variety of grades and dimensions and they are usually cast. Alnico magnet material is an older technology and it has a rather low

with Atomic Number 29‚ has been extensively used for thousands of years because of several primary properties that have dictated its use throughout history. Among them we can count durability‚ strength and‚ as a semi-noble metal‚ good resistance to corrosion. With a hardness of 3 on the Mohs scale‚ pure copper is relatively soft and malleable‚ which makes it an easy metal to work with. Analyses of artefacts from lithic civilizations have shown that native copper had not only been hammered‚ but annealed
