  2. Degassing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degassing

    Degassing, also known as degasification, is the removal of dissolved gases from liquids, especially water or aqueous solutions. There are numerous methods for removing gases from liquids. Gases are removed for various reasons. Chemists remove gases from solvents when the compounds they are working on are possibly air- or oxygen-sensitive ( air ...

  3. Austenitic stainless steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austenitic_stainless_steel

    Austenitic stainless steel. Austenitic stainless steel is one of the five classes of stainless steel by crystalline structure (along with ferritic, martensitic, duplex and precipitation hardened [1] ). Its primary crystalline structure is austenite ( face-centered cubic) and it prevents steels from being hardenable by heat treatment and makes ...

  4. Stainless steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stainless_steel

    Stainless steel, also known as inox, corrosion-resistant steel ( CRES ), and rustless steel, is an alloy of iron that is resistant to rusting and corrosion. It contains iron with chromium and other elements such as molybdenum, carbon, nickel and nitrogen depending on its specific use and cost. Stainless steel's resistance to corrosion results ...

  5. Stress corrosion cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_corrosion_cracking

    Stress corrosion cracking ( SCC) is the growth of crack formation in a corrosive environment. It can lead to unexpected and sudden failure of normally ductile metal alloys subjected to a tensile stress, especially at elevated temperature. SCC is highly chemically specific in that certain alloys are likely to undergo SCC only when exposed to a ...

  6. Crevice corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crevice_corrosion

    Crevice corrosion. Crevice corrosion refers to corrosion occurring in occluded spaces such as interstices in which a stagnant solution is trapped and not renewed. [1] These spaces are generally called crevices. Examples of crevices are gaps and contact areas between parts, under gaskets or seals, inside cracks and seams, spaces filled with ...

  7. Weld purging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weld_purging

    Unwanted gas is generally removed by flushing with an inert gas. Argon is generally used for this purpose but helium is an alternative depending on gas cost and availability. Nitrogen has been used as a purge gas but is unsuitable for some stainless steels. The most common way to remove gas from the weld zone is to flush it away with an inert gas.

  8. Oxy-fuel welding and cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_welding_and_cutting

    A steel circular brush is attached to an angle grinder and used to remove the first layer leaving behind a bumpy surface similar to hammered bronze. In the glass industry for "fire polishing". In jewelry production for "water welding" using a water torch (an oxyhydrogen torch whose gas supply is generated immediately by electrolysis of water).

  9. Martensitic stainless steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martensitic_stainless_steel

    Martensitic stainless steel is a type of stainless steel alloy that has a martensite crystal structure. It can be hardened and tempered through aging and heat treatment. It can be hardened and tempered through aging and heat treatment.
