  2. Oxide jacking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxide_jacking

    Oxide jacking has caused concrete spalling on walls of the Herbst Pavilion at Fort Mason Center in San Francisco. The expansive force of rusting, which may be called oxide jacking or rust burst, is a phenomenon that can cause damage to structures made of stone, masonry, concrete or ceramics, and reinforced with metal components.

  3. Screw extractor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_extractor

    A screw extractor held in a tap wrench. A screw extractor is a tool for removing broken or seized screws.There are two types: one has a spiral flute structure, commonly called an easy out after the trademarked name EZ-Out; [clarification needed] the other has a straight flute structure.

  4. Corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion

    Corrosion removal should not be confused with electropolishing, which removes some layers of the underlying metal to make a smooth surface. For example, phosphoric acid may also be used to electropolish copper but it does this by removing copper, not the products of copper corrosion.

  5. Countersink - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countersink

    A countersink may also be used to remove the burr left from a drilling or tapping operation, thereby improving the finish of the product and removing any hazardous sharp edges. [ 1 ] The basic geometry of a countersink (cutter) inherently can be applied to the plunging applications described above (axial feed only) and also to other milling ...

  6. Conservation and restoration of iron and steel objects

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_and...

    It has withstood corrosion for the last 1600 years. Iron, steel, and ferrous metals constitute a large portion of collections in museums. The conservation and restoration of iron and steel objects is an activity dedicated to the preservation and protection of objects of historical and personal value made from iron or steel. When applied to ...

  7. Galling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galling

    Sheet metal forming, thread manufacturing, and other industrial operations may include moving parts, or contact surfaces made of stainless steel, aluminium, titanium, and other metals whose natural development of an external oxide layer through passivation increases their corrosion resistance but renders them particularly susceptible to galling.

  8. Rust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust

    Rust is an iron oxide, a usually reddish-brown oxide formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the catalytic presence of water or air moisture.Rust consists of hydrous iron(III) oxides (Fe 2 O 3 ·nH 2 O) and iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH), Fe(OH) 3), and is typically associated with the corrosion of refined iron.

  9. Rusty bolt effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rusty_bolt_effect

    The rusty bolt effect is a form of radio interference due to interactions of the radio waves with dirty connections or corroded parts. [1] It is more properly known as passive intermodulation , [ 1 ] and can result from a variety of different causes such as ferromagnetic conduction metals, [ 2 ] or nonlinear microwave absorbers and loads.
