2. Arco (lamp) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arco_(lamp)

   The Arco lamp is a modern floor lamp designed by brothers Pier Giacomo and Achille Castiglioni for Flos in 1962. [1] The lamp is characterized by a suspended spun aluminum pendant attached to an upright block of Carrara marble via a cantilevered arching arm made of stainless steel.

3. Brushed metal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brushed_metal

   A brushed finish is susceptible to damage. Brushed finishes also typically have a detrimental effect on corrosion resistance. In particular the brushed texture limits the ability of fluid to bead on the material surface. In the case of stainless steel the grooves of the finish can accumulate chloride ions which break down the chromium oxide ...

4. Arc lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_lamp

   An arc lamp or arc light is a lamp that produces light by an electric arc (also called a voltaic arc). The carbon arc light, which consists of an arc between carbon electrodes in air, invented by Humphry Davy in the first decade of the 1800s, was the first practical electric light .

5. Metal-halide lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal-halide_lamp

   Like other gas-discharge lamps such as the very-similar mercury-vapor lamps, metal-halide lamps produce light by ionizing a mixture of gases in an electric arc.In a metal-halide lamp, the compact arc tube contains a mixture of argon or xenon, mercury, and a variety of metal halides, such as sodium iodide and scandium iodide.

6. Gas-discharge lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas-discharge_lamp

   A high-intensity discharge (HID) lamp is a type of electrical lamp which produces light by means of an electric arc between tungsten electrodes housed inside a translucent or transparent fused quartz or fused alumina arc tube. Compared to other lamp types, relatively high arc power exists for the arc length.

7. Electroless nickel-phosphorus plating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroless_nickel...

   Before plating, the surface of the material must be thoroughly cleaned. Unwanted solids left on the surface cause poor plating. Cleaning is usually achieved by a series of chemical baths, including non-polar solvents to remove oils and greases, as well as acids and alkalis to remove oxides, insoluble organics, and other surface contaminants.
