  2. Stainless steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stainless_steel

    Martensitic stainless steels can be heat treated to provide better mechanical properties. The heat treatment typically involves three steps: [53] Austenitizing, in which the steel is heated to a temperature in the range 980–1,050 °C (1,800–1,920 °F), depending on grade. The resulting austenite has a face-centered cubic crystal structure.

  3. Ammonia solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia_solution

    Household ammonia ranges in concentration by weight from 5% to 10% ammonia. [9] Because aqueous ammonia is a gas dissolved in water, as the water evaporates from a surface, the gas evaporates also, leaving the surface streak-free. Its most common uses are to clean glass [10], porcelain, and stainless steel. It is good at removing grease and is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_purification

    Pure water has a pH close to 7 (neither alkaline nor acidic). Sea water can have pH values that range from 7.5 to 8.4 (moderately alkaline). Fresh water can have widely ranging pH values depending on the geology of the drainage basin or aquifer and the influence of contaminant inputs .

  5. Heat treating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_treating

    Heat treating furnace at 1,800 °F (980 °C) Heat treating (or heat treatment) is a group of industrial, thermal and metalworking processes used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material. The most common application is metallurgical. Heat treatments are also used in the manufacture of many other materials, such as ...

  6. Industrial water treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_water_treatment

    Advancements in water treatment technology have affected all areas of industrial water treatment. Although mechanical filtration, such as reverse osmosis , is widely employed to filter contaminants, other technologies including the use of ozone generators, wastewater evaporation, electrodeionization and bioremediation are also able to address ...

    Two drops of 5% solution also suffices. Double the amount of bleach if the water is cloudy, colored, or very cold. Afterwards, the water should have a slight chlorine odor. If not repeat the dosage and let stand for another 15 minutes before use. After this treatment, the water may be left open to reduce the chlorine smell and taste. [22] [6]

  8. 17-4 stainless steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/17-4_stainless_steel

    SAE Type 630 stainless steel (more commonly known as 17-4 PH, or simply 17-4; also known as UNS S17400) is a grade of martensitic precipitation hardened stainless steel. It contains approximately 15–17.5% chromium and 3–5% nickel, as well as 3–5% copper. [1] The name comes from the chemical makeup which is approximately 17% chromium and 4 ...

  9. Water treatment - Wikipedia

    Dalecarlia Water Treatment Plant, Washington, D.C. Water treatment is any process that improves the quality of water to make it appropriate for a specific end-use. The end use may be drinking, industrial water supply, irrigation, river flow maintenance, water recreation or many other uses, including being safely returned to the environment.
