  2. Electrochemical coloring of metals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_coloring...

    As hexavalent chromium compounds are prohibited for use in the EU based on ROHS regulations and are toxic and carcinogenic, solutions based on molybdate are proposed as a replacement (e.g. molybdate 30-100g/ boric acid 10-18 g/manganese sulfate 0.5 - 5 g/1 liter of water, 0.1 - 20 A/dm2, 0.1–15 minutes).

  3. Electrometallurgy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrometallurgy

    For steel production, this method uses an inert anode (Carbon, Platinum, Iridium or Chromium-based alloy) [4] and places iron ore in the cathode. The electrochemical reaction in this Molten Oxide cell can reach up to 1600 °C, a temperature that melts iron ore and electrolyte oxide. [ 5 ]

  4. Armour-piercing ammunition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armour-piercing_ammunition

    Armour-piercing ammunition (AP) is a type of projectile designed to penetrate armour protection, most often including naval armour, body armour, and vehicle armour. [1]The first, major application of armour-piercing projectiles was to defeat the thick armour carried on many warships and cause damage to their lightly armoured interiors.

  5. Alkaline earth metal - Wikipedia

    Together with helium, these elements have in common an outer s orbital which is full [2] [3] [4] —that is, this orbital contains its full complement of two electrons, which the alkaline earth metals readily lose to form cations with charge +2, and an oxidation state of +2. [5]

  6. Decarburization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decarburization

    Electrical steel is one material that uses decarburization in its production. To prevent the atmospheric gases from reacting with the metal itself, electrical steel is annealed in an atmosphere of nitrogen, hydrogen, and water vapor, where oxidation of the iron is specifically prevented by the proportions of hydrogen and water vapor so that the only reacting substance is carbon being oxidized ...

    After the Second World War, there was a growing interest in green patinated copper sheets, which were intended primarily for architectural use. [18] [19] [20] Technologies for anodic oxidation of titanium, and later niobium and tantalum, have evolved since the mid-1960s. Technology for the anodic oxidation of stainless steel was developed too ...

  8. Intergranular corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intergranular_corrosion

    Such elements have a much greater affinity for carbon than does chromium; carbide formation with these elements reduces the carbon available in the alloy for formation of chromium carbides. Such a stabilized titanium-bearing austenitic chromium-nickel-copper stainless steel is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,562,781.

  9. Metallic bonding - Wikipedia

    The localization is so complete that the (more familiar) H 2 gas results. A similar argument holds for an element such as boron. Though it is electron-deficient compared to carbon, it does not form a metal. Instead it has a number of complex structures in which icosahedral B 12 clusters dominate. Charge density waves are a related phenomenon.
