  2. Chemical coloring of metals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_coloring_of_metals

    In the case of titanium, niobium, and stainless steel, the colour formed is dependent on the thickness of the oxide (which is determined by the anodizing voltage). Chemically coloring a metal is distinct from simply coating it using a method such as gilding or mercury silvering , because chemical coloring involves a chemical reaction, whereas ...

  3. Galvanic corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion

    If the aluminium foil was not used with a dissimilar metal container, the reaction was probably a chemical one. It is possible for heavy concentrations of salt, vinegar or some other acidic compounds to cause the foil to disintegrate. The product of either of these reactions is an aluminium salt. It does not harm the food, but any deposit may ...

  4. Steel wool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_wool

    Steel wool burning in air. Steel wool is commonly used by woodworkers, metal craftsmen, and jewelers to clean and smooth working surfaces and give them shine. [3] However, when used on oak, remaining traces of iron may react with tannins in the wood to produce blue or black iron stain, and when used on aluminum, brass, or other non-ferrous metal surfaces may cause after-rust which will dull ...

  5. Mineral wool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_wool

    Mineral wool close-up Mineral wool pipe covering applied to a steel pipe for a fire test. Mineral wool is any fibrous material formed by spinning or drawing molten mineral or rock materials such as slag and ceramics. [1] Applications of mineral wool include thermal insulation (as both structural insulation and pipe insulation), filtration ...

  6. Deoxidized steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deoxidized_steel

    The reaction products obtained following the deoxidation of the liquid steel bath are respectively alumina, silica and manganese oxide: 2 Al + 3 O → Al 2 O 3 Si + 2 O → SiO 2 Mn + O → MnO. The products of the deoxidation reaction are distributed within the slag produced by the steel deoxidation treatment.

  7. Spot plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spot_plate

    A spot plate, also called a reaction plate, color test plate, [1] or spotting tile (British English), is a laboratory tool made either from ceramics or plastics. [2] Each plate consists of many cavity-like depressions in which only small amount of reactants can be added at a time. [ 3 ]

  8. Schikorr reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schikorr_reaction

    The Schikorr reaction can occur in the process of anaerobic corrosion of iron and carbon steel in various conditions. Anaerobic corrosion of metallic iron to give iron(II) hydroxide and hydrogen: 3 (Fe + 2 H 2 O → Fe(OH) 2 + H 2) followed by the Schikorr reaction: 3 Fe(OH) 2 → Fe 3 O 4 + 2 H 2 O + H 2. give the following global reaction:

  9. Metal fume fever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_fume_fever

    Metal fume fever, also known as brass founders' ague, brass shakes, [1] zinc shakes, galvie flu, galvo poisoning, metal dust fever, welding shivers, or Monday morning fever, [2] is an illness primarily caused by exposure to chemicals such as zinc oxide (ZnO), aluminium oxide (Al 2 O 3), or magnesium oxide (MgO) which are produced as byproducts in the fumes that result when certain metals are ...
