2. Glass-to-metal seal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass-to-metal_seal

   Uranium glass used as lead-in seals in a vacuum capacitor. Glass-to-metal seals are a type of mechanical seal which joins glass and metal surfaces. They are very important elements in the construction of vacuum tubes, electric discharge tubes, incandescent light bulbs, glass-encapsulated semiconductor diodes, reed switches, glass windows in metal cases, and metal or ceramic packages of ...

3. Whisker (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisker_(metallurgy)

   Zinc whiskers grow from galvanized (electroplated) metal surfaces at a rate of up to a millimeter per year with a diameter of a few micrometers. Whiskers can form on the underside of zinc electroplated floor tiles on raised floors. These whiskers can then become airborne within the floor plenum when the tiles are disturbed, usually during ...

4. Titanium nitride - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanium_nitride

   Applied as a thin coating, TiN is used to harden and protect cutting and sliding surfaces, for decorative purposes (for its golden appearance), and as a non-toxic exterior for medical implants. In most applications a coating of less than 5 micrometres (0.00020 in) is applied.

5. Covering (construction) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covering_(construction)

   In construction, covering is the exterior layer of a building's roof. The covering ensures waterproofing by directing and collecting rainwater . It also provides mechanical protection against various external elements such as dust and intrusions.

6. Tinning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinning

   Hot tin-dipping is the process of immersing a part into a bath of pure molten tin at a temperature greater than 450 °F or 232 °C. Tinplate made via hot-dipped tin plating is made by cold rolling steel or iron, pickling to remove any scale, annealing to remove any strain hardening, and then coating it with a thin layer of tin.

7. Electroplating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroplating

   Electroplating of acid gold on underlying copper- or nickel-plated circuits reduces contact resistance as well as surface hardness. Copper-plated areas of mild steel act as a mask if case-hardening of such areas are not desired. Tin-plated steel is chromium-plated to prevent dulling of the surface due to oxidation of tin.

8. Tinplate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinplate

   The tinning set consisted of two pots with molten tin (with flux on top) and a grease pot. The flux dries the plate and prepares it for the tin to adhere. The second tin pot (called the wash pot) had tin at a lower temperature. This is followed by the grease pot (containing an oil), removing the excess tin. Then follow cleaning and polishing ...

9. Gold plating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_plating

   Gold plated - gold layer thickness greater than or equal to 0.5 micron; Heavy gold plated / Vermeil - gold layer thickness greater than or equal to 2.5 micron; Gold plated silver jewellery can still tarnish as the silver atoms diffuse into the gold layer, causing slow gradual fading of its color and eventually causing tarnishing of the surface ...
