  2. Galvanic corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion

    Galvanic corrosion (also called bimetallic corrosion or dissimilar metal corrosion) is an electrochemical process in which one metal corrodes preferentially when it is in electrical contact with another, in the presence of an electrolyte.

  3. Bimetal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimetal

    Bimetallic strips and disks, which convert a temperature change into mechanical displacement, [1] are the most recognized bimetallic objects due to their name. However, there are other common bimetallic objects. For example, tin cans consist of steel covered with tin. [2] The tin prevents the can from rusting.

  4. Corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion

    Corrosion is a natural process that converts a refined metal into a more chemically stable oxide.It is the gradual deterioration of materials (usually a metal) by chemical or electrochemical reaction with their environment.

  5. Metal–metal bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal–metal_bond

    In inorganic chemistry, metal–metal bonds describe attractive interactions between metal centers. The simplest examples are found in bimetallic complexes. Metal–metal bonds can be "supported", i.e. be accompanied by one or more bridging ligands, or "unsupported". They can also vary according to bond order.

  6. Corrosion engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_engineering

    Bimetallic corrosion. Galvanic corrosion (also called bimetallic corrosion) is an electrochemical process in which one metal (more active one) corrodes preferentially when it is in electrical contact with another dissimilar metal, in the presence of an electrolyte.

  7. Biometal (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometal_(biology)

    Each branch of bioinorganic chemistry studied separate, particular sub-fields of the subject. However, this led to an isolated view of each particular aspect in a biological system. This view was revised into a holistic approach of biometals in metallomics. [2] Metal ions in biology were studied in various

  8. Bimetallic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimetallic

    Bimetallic or bi-metallic may refer to: Bimetallism, a monetary standard in economics; Bimetallic strip, a temperature sensitive mechanical device; Alloy (binary alloy), in metallurgy, a mixture of two metals; Bi-metallic coin; Bi-Metallic Investment Co. v. State Board of Equalization

  9. Bimetallism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimetallism

    Bimetallism, [a] also known as the bimetallic standard, is a monetary standard in which the value of the monetary unit is defined as equivalent to certain quantities of two metals, typically gold and silver, creating a fixed rate of exchange between them.
