    Big Muskie's 220-cubic-yard (170 m 3) bucket is currently near McConnellsville, Ohio in a small park dedicated to coal mining. 3850-B power shovels for stripping, one built each in 1962 and 1964, with bucket capacities of 115 and 145 cu yd (88 and 111 m 3).

  4. Galvanic series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_series

    The unshaded bars indicate the location on the chart of those steels when in acidic/stagnant water ( like in the bilge ), where crevice-corrosion happens. Notice how the *same* steel has much different galvanic-series location, depending on the electrolyte it's in, making prevention of corrosion .. more difficult.

  5. Galvanization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanization

    Galvanized surface with visible spangle 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. Galvannealed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvannealed

    Production of galvannealed sheet steel begins with hot dip galvanization of sheet steel. After passing through the galvanizing zinc bath the sheet steel passes through air knives to remove excess zinc, and is then heated in an annealing furnace for several seconds causing iron and zinc layers to diffuse into one another causing the formation of zinc-iron alloy layers at the surface.

  7. History of the iron and steel industry in the United States

    Most US iron smelting before 1850 took place near iron deposits in eastern Pennsylvania, New York, and northern New Jersey. [3] New Jersey's principal iron ore district, at Dover, supported iron smelters beginning in 1710. The Cornwall Iron Furnace in Pennsylvania was established next to an iron deposit. The Adirondack iron ore district of New ...

    These are usually made of galvanized iron, though historically they were made of flexible bits of wood called withies. While wooden hoops could require barrels to be "fully hooped", with hoops stacked tightly together along the entire top and bottom third of a barrel, iron-hooped barrels only require a few hoops on each end.
