The pits that penetrate the bore are usually covered in a hard pale green nodule of copper sulfate and copper hydroxide salts. If the nodule is removed a hemispherical pit is revealed filled with coarse crystals of red cuprous oxide and green cuprous chloride. The pits are often referred to as Type 1 pits and the form of attack as Type 1 pitting.
The process of pit nucleation is initiated by the depassivation of the protective oxide layer isolating the metal substrate from the aggressive solution. The depassivation of the protective oxide layer is the less properly understood step in pitting corrosion and its very local and random appearance probably its most enigmatic characteristic.
A high-resistance connection (HRC) is a hazard that results from loose or poor connections in traditional electrical accessories and switchgear which can cause heat to develop, capable of starting a fire. [1] Glowing connections occur when relatively high current exists in a relatively large resistance object. Heat comes from power dissipation ...
The Dakota fire pit is an efficient, simple fire design that produces little to no smoke. [1] Two small holes are dug in the ground: one for the firewood and the other to provide a draft of air. Small twigs are packed into the fire hole and readily combustible material is set on top and lit.

Travis Kelce gets very sweaty. “Look at these f–king dehydrated pits,” Travis, 34, said during the Wednesday, January 24, episode of his and brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast
Burn pits were heavily criticized and resulted in lawsuits by military veterans, Department of Defense civilians, and military contractors. Global environmental consciousness has especially criticized these instances of large-scale burn pit operation. [4] The effects of burn pits seem to be similar to that of fire debris cleanup. [5]
