  2. Nickel–iron battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel–iron_battery

    The active materials are held in nickel-plated steel tubes or perforated pockets. It is a very robust battery which is tolerant of abuse, (overcharge, overdischarge, and short-circuiting) and can have very long life even if so treated. [7] It is often used in backup situations where it can be continuously charged and can last for more than 20 ...

  3. Weathering steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weathering_steel

    Weathering steel, often referred to by the genericised trademark COR-TEN steel and sometimes written without the hyphen as corten steel, is a group of steel alloys that form a stable external layer of rust that eliminates the need for painting. U.S. Steel (USS) holds the registered trademark on the name COR-TEN. [1]

  4. Cathodic protection - Wikipedia

    The test differed from the ASTM B117 insofar as the galvanized automotive steel panels were not entirely exposed to the salt spray. Instead, only the bare steel exposed by a 12-inch scratch at one end of the panel was exposed to the salt spray while the remainder of the panel was kept in a completely dry condition. [53]

  5. Structural steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_steel

    A sustainable material minimally affects the environment upon installation and throughout its life cycle. Reinforced concrete and structural steel can be sustainable [12] if used properly. Over 80% of structural steel members are fabricated from recycled metals, called A992 steel.

  6. Structural battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_battery

    In a sandwich design, state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries are embedded forming a core material and bonded in between two thin and strong face sheets (e.g. aluminium). In-plane and bending loads are carried by face sheets while the battery core takes up transverse shear and compression loads as well as storing the electrical energy.

  7. Open web steel joist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_web_steel_joist

    The LH- and DLH-Series have been designed for the purpose of extending the use of joists to spans and loads in excess of those covered by Open Web Steel Joists, K-Series. LH-Series Joists have been standardized in depths from 18 inches (460 mm) through 48 inches (1,200 mm), for spans through 96 feet (29,000 mm).

  8. Design life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_life

    The design life of a component or product is the period of time during which the item is expected by its designers to work within its specified parameters; in other words, the life expectancy of the item. It is not always the actual length of time between placement into service of a single item and that item's onset of wearout.

  9. Busbar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busbar

    In electric power distribution, a busbar (also bus bar) is a metallic strip or bar, typically housed inside switchgear, panel boards, and busway enclosures for local high current power distribution. They are also used to connect high voltage equipment at electrical switchyards, and low-voltage equipment in battery banks. They are generally ...
