Corrosion is the gradual destruction of materials (usually metals) by chemical reaction with its environment. In the most common use of the word‚ this means electrochemical oxidation of metals in reaction with an oxidant such as oxygen. Rusting‚ the formation of iron oxides‚ is a well-known example of electrochemical corrosion. This type of damage typically produces oxide(s) or salt(s) of the original metal. Corrosion can also occur in materials other than metals‚ such as ceramics or polymers‚ although

aqueous nitrate storage. But the documents do not indicate which of the metals will work best for the particular liquid nitrates that Allied needs to store. Therefore‚ your job is to conduct experiments to determine which of these metals will avoid corrosion and work best. Objectives 1. To determine which of the four metals will make appropriate containers for each of the five aqueous nitrates. 2. To propose a hypothesis that explains why metals corrode. Materials used in the video

1.Is technology alone enough to ensure high quality customer service? - Technology alone is not enough to ensure high quality customer service‚ but if properly utilized it can be a great tool to monitor that high quality customer service is offered. It must be the people working in the industry hand in hand with the modern technology who must do the right job to make sure they are offering high quality customer service. 2.improvements in artificial intelligence technologies will result in decline

Types of Corrosion 1. Discuss the major types of corrosion. Uniform Corrosion: Uniform corrosion is characterized by corrosive attack proceeding evenly over the entire surface area‚ or a large fraction of the total area. General thinning takes place until failure. On the basis of tonnage wasted‚ this is the most important form of corrosion. (corrosion-doctors.org) This reminds me of some of the contractor spec’s I have seen for just this type of corrosion. Many of the clarification mechanisms

TREATMENT OF CORROSION Regardless of the type of corrosion or the metal involved‚ corrosion treatment requires three basic steps: 1. Remove as much of the corrosion as possible. 2. Neutralize any residual material. 3. Restore the protective surface film. CORROSION REMOVAL As previously discussed‚ the first step in corrosion control must be cleaning the surface. After the surface is completely clean and it is determined that corrosion does exist‚ the damage must be carefully assessed

Experiment No. 3: Electrochemistry and Corrosion Date Performed: November 4‚ 2010 CONCLUSION Electrochemistry is a branch of chemistry that studies chemical reactions which take place in a solution at the interface of an electron conductor and an ionic conductor and which involve electron transfer between the electrode and the electrolyte or species in solution. Basically‚ an oxidation-reduction reaction (redox reaction) is a reaction in which electrons are transferred between species or in

Corrosion of Metals Introduction Have you ever had a bike that went rusty‚ figure 1? If the paint is scratched and the rust allowed to spread‚ it is very difficult to repair the frame so it looks as good as new again. Rusting costs us millions of pounds each year‚ either through replacing things or through trying to prevent it happening in the first place. Figure 1: Bike rusting. In this booklet you learn about rusting and ways of stopping it‚ followed by a look at another metal‚ aluminium that

The Effect of pH Level of a Liquid on the Rate of Corrosion of Copper wire In this experiment‚ I will be testing the corrosion rate of copper wire after leaving them in different liquids with different pH levels. By doing so I will be able to determine which pH level corrodes copper the fastest. I will conduct this experiment by pouring 250mL of different liquids with different pH levels in cups‚ followed by an iron strip placed into the cup. A stopwatch will be timing how long it takes the iron
