2. Fretting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fretting

   A connector design that contacts all 4-sides of a square pin instead of just one or 1 or 2 can delay the inevitable fretting some amount. Keeping contacts clean and lubricated also offers some longevity. Contact fretting can change the impedance of a B2B connector from milliohms to ohms in just minutes when vibration is present. The relatively ...

3. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

   Flared connectors should not be confused with compression connectors, which are generally not interchangeable. Lacking a compression ring, they use a tapered conical shaped connection instead. A specialized flaring tool is used to enlarge tubing into a 45º tapered bell shape matching the projecting shape of the flare fitting.

4. Copper conductor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_conductor

   The wire provides connections that will not corrode or creep. It is not, however, compatible with aluminium wire or connectors. If the two metals are joined, a galvanic reaction can occur. Anodic corrosion during the reaction can disintegrate the aluminium. This is why most appliance and electrical equipment manufacturers use copper lead wires ...

5. Galvanic corrosion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion

   Dissimilar metals and alloys have different electrode potentials, and when two or more come into contact in an electrolyte, one metal (that is more reactive) acts as anode and the other (that is less reactive) as cathode. The electropotential difference between the reactions at the two electrodes is the driving force for an accelerated attack ...

6. Galvanic series - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_series

   When two metals are submerged in an electrolyte, while also electrically connected by some external conductor, the less noble (base) will experience galvanic corrosion. The rate of corrosion is determined by the electrolyte, the difference in nobility, and the relative areas of the anode and cathode exposed to the electrolyte.

   Salt in the air and water eats away at metal and exposed metal is especially vulnerable. Driving through puddles in low lying coastal areas can ruin your vehicle, because the salt water corrodes it.

8. Cross-linked polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-linked_polyethylene

   A cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipe. Cross-linked polyethylene, commonly abbreviated PEX, XPE or XLPE, is a form of polyethylene with cross-links.It is used predominantly in building services pipework systems, hydronic radiant heating and cooling systems, domestic water piping, insulation for high tension (high voltage) electrical cables, and baby play mats.
