  2. Plasma electrolytic oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_electrolytic_oxidation

    This process can be used to grow thick (tens or hundreds of micrometers), largely crystalline, oxide coatings on metals such as aluminium, magnesium [2] and titanium. Because they can present high hardness [ 3 ] and a continuous barrier, these coatings can offer protection against wear , corrosion or heat as well as electrical insulation .

  3. Metallurgical assay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallurgical_assay

    A 19th-century assay laboratory in Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Park, Arizona. A model of a late 19th-century Canadian seal used to certify the quality of assayed gold. A metallurgical assay is a compositional analysis of an ore, metal, or alloy, usually performed in order to test for purity or quality.

  4. Chemical vapor deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_vapor_deposition

    DC plasma (violet) enhances the growth of carbon nanotubes in a laboratory-scale PECVD (plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition) apparatus. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a vacuum deposition method used to produce high-quality, and high-performance, solid materials. The process is often used in the semiconductor industry to produce thin ...

  5. Anodizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anodizing

    The oxide is converted into its hydrated form and the resulting swelling reduces the porosity of the surface. Mid-temperature sealing process which works at 160–180 °F (70–80 °C) in solutions containing organic additives and metal salts. However, this process will likely leach the colors.

  6. Fenton's reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenton's_reagent

    The free radicals generated by this process engage in secondary reactions. For example, the hydroxyl is a powerful, non-selective oxidant. [6] Oxidation of an organic compound by Fenton's reagent is rapid and exothermic and results in the oxidation of contaminants to primarily carbon dioxide and water.

  7. Nano-thermite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nano-thermite

    Compositions based on Al-Bi 2 O 3 tend to be used. PETN may be optionally added. [9] Aluminium powder can be added to nano explosives. Aluminium has a relatively low combustion rate and a high enthalpy of combustion. [10] The products of a thermite reaction, resulting from ignition of the nano-thermitic mixture, are usually metal oxides and ...

  8. Passivation (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passivation_(chemistry)

    A standard overview on black oxide coatings is provided in MIL-HDBK-205, Phosphate & Black Oxide Coating of Ferrous Metals. Many of the specifics of Black Oxide coatings may be found in MIL-DTL-13924 (formerly MIL-C-13924). This Mil-Spec document additionally identifies various classes of Black Oxide coatings, for use in a variety of purposes ...

  9. Pyrometallurgy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrometallurgy

    The most common example of roasting is the oxidation of metal sulfide ores. The metal sulfide is heated in the presence of air to a temperature that allows the oxygen in the air to react with the sulfide to form sulfur dioxide gas and solid metal oxide. The solid product from roasting is often called "calcine".
