2Corrosion inhibitor — A corrosion inhibitor is a chemical compound that, when added to a liquid or gas, decreases the corrosion rate of a material, typically a metal or an alloy.[1] The effectiveness of a corrosion inhibitor depends on fluid composition, quantity of… …
3Chemical vapor deposition — DC plasma (violet) enhances the growth of carbon nanotubes in this laboratory scale PECVD apparatus. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a chemical process used to produce high purity, high performance solid materials. The process is often used in …
4Chemical garden — Comparison of chemical gardens grown by NASA scientists on the International Space Station (left) and on the ground (right) A chemical garden is an experiment in chemistry normally done by adding solid metal salts such as copper sulfate or… …
5Erosion corrosion of copper water tubes — Erosion corrosion, also known as impingement damage, is the combined effect of corrosion and erosion caused by rapid flowing turbulent water. It is probably the second most common cause of copper tube failures behind Type 1 pitting which is also… …
6Stress corrosion cracking — (SCC) is the unexpected sudden failure of normally ductile metals or tough thermoplastics subjected to a tensile stress in a corrosive environment, especially at elevated temperature (in the case of metals). SCC is highly chemically specific in… …
7Crevice corrosion — refers to corrosion occurring in confined spaces to which the access of the working fluid from the environment is limited. These spaces are generally called crevices. Examples of crevices are gaps and contact areas between parts, under gaskets or …
8Copper alloys in aquaculture — A copper alloy pen that has been deployed on a fish farm at depth of 14 feet for one year shows no signs of biofouling. Recently, copper alloys have become important netting materials in aquaculture (the farming of aquatic organisms including… …
9Uranium in the environment — Uranium in the environment, this page is about the science of uranium in the environment and in animals (including humans). The legal and social issues associated with uranium are discussed elsewhere. This page is a subpage of actinides in the… …
10nickel processing — Introduction preparation of the metal for use in various products. Although it is best known for its use in coinage, nickel (Ni) has become much more important for its many industrial applications, which owe their importance to a… …
