Countersink cutters are manufactured with six common angles, which are 60°, 82°, 90°, 100°, 110°, or 120°, with the two most common of those being 82° and 90°. Countersunk-head screws that follow the Unified Thread Standard very often have an 82° angle, and screws that follow the ISO standard very often have a 90° angle. Throughout ...
The rusty bolt effect is a form of radio interference due to interactions of the radio waves with dirty connections or corroded parts. [1] It is more properly known as passive intermodulation , [ 1 ] and can result from a variety of different causes such as ferromagnetic conduction metals, [ 2 ] or nonlinear microwave absorbers and loads.

Pitting corrosion, or pitting, is a form of extremely localized corrosion that leads to the random creation of small holes in metal. The driving power for pitting corrosion is the depassivation of a small area, which becomes anodic (oxidation reaction) while an unknown but potentially vast area becomes cathodic (reduction reaction), leading to ...
