unusual facts about Corrosion


Corrosion

Mechanisms which break polymer chains are familiar to biologists because of their effect on DNA: ionizing radiation (most commonly ultraviolet light), free radicals, and oxidizers such as oxygen, ozone, and chlorine.


Bioresorbable stents

Many researchers prefer to use in vitro corrosion simulations using pseudo-physiological solutions such as EMEM or HBSS.

Economy of Hamilton, Ontario

Other tenants already announced for the park include a corrosion research centre sponsored by General Motors and a diesel engine research lab sponsored by Ford.

Electronic waste

Cadmium: Found in light-sensitive resistors, corrosion-resistant alloys for marine and aviation environments, and nickel-cadmium batteries.

Felixstowe F.5

The aircraft was first flown on 5 January 1925 and delivered to the Marine Aircraft Experimental Establishment at Felixstowe on 14 March, where it was subjected to a series of strenuous tests, including dropping the aircraft onto the water by stalling it at a height of 30 ft (9 m): the aircraft withstood all trials, and after a year an inspection revealed only negligible corrosion.

Frank Archibald MacDougall

Around 1939 he finally acquired a closed cabin airplane, the Stinson Reliant SR-10, and this served for many years until, during a routine maintenance, serious corrosion problems were discovered and the plane had to be retired.

Intergranular corrosion

High-strength aluminium alloys such as the Duralumin-type alloys (Al-Cu) which depend upon precipitated phases for strengthening are susceptible to intergranular corrosion following sensitization at temperatures of about 120°C.

Iron pillar of Delhi

In a report published in the journal Current Science, R. Balasubramaniam of the IIT Kanpur explains how the pillar's resistance to corrosion is due to a passive protective film at the iron-rust interface.

Johannes Hahn

According to Hahn, the focus is initially to be placed on projects from the “big museums”, such as the anthropological collection in the Vienna Natural History Museum, a study on copper corrosion in manuscripts by the Austrian National Library, or the expropriation of motor vehicles under the Nazi regime by the Vienna Technical Museum.

KBS-3

In 2012, a research group at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, published research that suggests that that the copper capsules of KBS-3 are not as corrosion safe as SKB and Posiva claim.

Maryslim

"A Perfect Mess" features another great guest-appearance: Jyrki 69 of The 69 Eyes sings the lead vocals in the coverversion of “This Corrosion” from the Sisters of Mercy.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front

MS-09F/trop Dom Tropen - Similar to the MS-09 Dom the Dom Tropen was developed for tropical and desert climates having additional filters and intakes to prevent corrosion in the internal parts.

MV Klickitat

She was serving on the Keystone-Port Townsend crossing in November 2007 when the entire Steel Electric class was withdrawn from service due to hull corrosion issues.

NACE

NACE International – The National Association of Corrosion Engineers

Nawabganj District

But, recently, the geography has changed due to the corrosion and erosion by the river Padma(Ganges).

NOREM

They are essentially corrosion-immune under the conditions inside CANDU reactors and erode at about 200 micrograms per square centimetre per year under pressurized water reactor conditions.

Onkalo spent nuclear fuel repository

In 2012, a research group at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, published research that suggests that that the copper capsules are not as corrosion safe as the companies planning the repositories claim.

Örjan Sandred

In 2009 the CD Cracks and Corrosion, featuring five of Sandred’s compositions, was released on the Navona Records label.

Parkerization

Parkerizing, a method of protecting a steel surface from corrosion and increasing its resistance to wear

Petroleum jelly

It was recommended in the Porsche owner’s manual as a preservative for light alloy (alleny) anodized Fuchs wheels to protect them against corrosion from road salts and brake dust.

Phosphate minerals

Phosphate minerals are often used for control of rust and prevention of corrosion on ferrous materials applied with electrochemical conversion coatings.

QPQ

Quench polish quench, a type of carbonitriding process for case hardening and increasing the corrosion resistance of a steel workpiece

Shell and tube heat exchanger

The tube material also should be compatible with both the shell and tube side fluids for long periods under the operating conditions (temperatures, pressures, pH, etc.) to minimize deterioration such as corrosion.

Sulfide

Corrosion is a major concern in many industrial installations processing sulfides: sulfide ore mills, deep oil wells, pipeline transporting soured oil, Kraft paper factories.

Superleggera

Car makers such as Bristol, which had aircraft industry experience, were more successful in countering galvanic corrosion than other manufacturers.

United States Army Research Laboratory

Metallic materials are engineered to increase strength and decrease corrosion through the use of composites.

WD-40

WD-40 was first used by Convair to protect the outer skin, and more importantly, the paper thin "balloon tanks" of the Atlas missile from rust and corrosion.
