2. Chain mail - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_mail

   Mail (sometimes spelled maille and often colloquially referred to as chainmail or chain-mail) [1] is a type of armour consisting of small metal rings linked together in a pattern to form a mesh. It was in common military use between the 3rd century BC and the 16th century AD in Europe, while it continued to be used in Asia, Africa, and the ...

3. Handcuff cover - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handcuff_cover

   A handcuff cover is a plastic or metal cover that can be placed over a pair of handcuffs. It consists of a hinged, box-like assembly locked over the handcuff chain, wristlets and keyholes. [1] The first handcuff cover was invented by J. D. Cullip and K. E. Stefansen [2] and patented in 1973. [3]

4. Rockfall barrier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockfall_barrier

   Similarly as for other passive rockfall protection structures (e.g. embankments), the barrier required height is defined based on rock fragments passing heights obtained from trajectory simulations. These simulations also provide the kinetic energy to consider for the barrier selection and design.

5. Galvanization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanization

   Galvanization (also spelled galvanisation) [1] is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, to prevent rusting. The most common method is hot-dip galvanizing , in which the parts are coated by submerging them in a bath of hot, molten zinc.

6. Chain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain

   A common metal short-link chain Roller chains. A chain is a serial assembly of connected pieces, called links, typically made of metal, with an overall character similar to that of a rope in that it is flexible and curved in compression but linear, rigid, and load-bearing in tension. A chain may consist of two or more links.

7. Galvanic anode - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_anode

   A galvanic anode, or sacrificial anode, is the main component of a galvanic cathodic protection system used to protect buried or submerged metal structures from corrosion. They are made from a metal alloy with a more "active" voltage (more negative reduction potential / more positive oxidation potential) than the metal of the structure. The ...
