  2. Total dissolved solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_dissolved_solids

    Total dissolved solids (TDS) is a measure of the dissolved combined content of all inorganic and organic substances present in a liquid in molecular, ionized, or micro-granular (colloidal sol) suspended form. TDS are often measured in parts per million (ppm). TDS in water can be measured using a digital meter. [1]

  3. Cryolite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryolite

    The difficulty of separating aluminium from oxygen in the oxide ores was overcome by the use of cryolite as a flux to dissolve the oxide mineral(s). Pure cryolite itself melts at 1012 °C (1285 K), and it can dissolve the aluminium oxides sufficiently well to allow easy extraction of the aluminium by electrolysis. Substantial energy is still ...

    The first three forms are observed at ordinary pressures. As molten iron cools past its freezing point of 1538 °C, it crystallizes into its δ allotrope, which has a body-centered cubic (bcc) crystal structure. As it cools further to 1394 °C, it changes to its γ-iron allotrope, a face-centered cubic (fcc) crystal structure, or austenite. At ...

    Copper content increases hardness of the alloy and inhibits dissolution of soldering iron tips and part leads in molten solder. Sn 62 Pb 37 Cu 1: 183 [17] Pb: Yes: Similar to Sn 63 Pb 37. Copper content increases hardness of the alloy and inhibits dissolution of soldering iron tips and part leads in molten solder. Sn 63 Pb 37 P 0.0015-0.04: 183 ...

    Additionally, aquarium enthusiasts are concerned with TDS, both for freshwater and salt water aquariums. Many fish and invertebrates require quite narrow parameters for dissolved solids. Especially for successful breeding of some invertebrates normally kept in freshwater aquariums—snails and shrimp primarily—brackish water with higher TDS ...

  7. Thermite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermite

    Oxygen-balanced iron thermite 2Al + Fe 2 O 3 has theoretical maximum density of 4.175 g/cm 3 an adiabatic burn temperature of 3135 K or 2862 °C or 5183 °F (with phase transitions included, limited by iron, which boils at 3135 K), the aluminium oxide is (briefly) molten and the produced iron is mostly liquid with part of it being in gaseous ...

  8. Ferrous metallurgy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrous_metallurgy

    By this time, Chinese metallurgists had discovered how to fine molten pig iron, stirring it in the open air until it lost its carbon and could be hammered (wrought). In modern Mandarin-Chinese, this process is now called chao, literally stir frying. Pig iron is known as 'raw iron', while wrought iron is known as 'cooked iron'.

  9. Boron trioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boron_trioxide

    Boron trioxide or diboron trioxide is the oxide of boron with the formula B 2 O 3.It is a colorless transparent solid, almost always glassy (amorphous), which can be crystallized only with great difficulty.
