    As diamond is less stable than graphite, c-BN is less stable than h-BN, but the conversion rate between those forms is negligible at room temperature. [ 30 ] Cubic boron nitride is insoluble in iron, nickel, and related alloys at high temperatures, but it binds well with metals due to formation of interlayers of metal borides and nitrides.

  3. Water damage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_damage

    Class of water damage is determined by the probable rate of evaporation based on the type of materials affected, or wet, in the room or space that was flooded. Determining the class of water damage is an important first step, and will determine the amount and type of equipment utilized to dry-down the structure. [7] Class 1 - Slow Rate of ...

  4. Corrosion engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_engineering

    Recycled water typically has a higher salt content than potable drinking water, meaning that it is more corrosive than regular tap water. The same risk from damage and water spray exists for above ground piping and backflow preventers. Fiberglass covers, cages, and concrete footings have worked well to keep tools at an arm's length.

  5. 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.

    In the lore of both versions of the game, the special treatment this metal gets is evident in the requirement to complete a quest assigned by the Guildmaster of the Champion's Guild in order to wear a platebody of this metal. [75] [76] This metal is stronger than other well-known fictional metals that also exist in the game, such as Mithril and ...

  7. Amorphous metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorphous_metal

    An amorphous metal (also known as metallic glass, glassy metal, or shiny metal) is a solid metallic material, usually an alloy, with disordered atomic-scale structure. Most metals are crystalline in their solid state, which means they have a highly ordered arrangement of atoms. Amorphous metals are non-crystalline, and have a glass-like structure.

  8. Heavy metal element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metal_(elements)

    Heavy metals is a controversial and ambiguous term [2] for metallic elements with relatively high densities, atomic weights, or atomic numbers.The criteria used, and whether metalloids are included, vary depending on the author and context and has been argued should not be used.

  9. Toxic heavy metal - Wikipedia

    The river water was contaminated with toxic metals including arsenic, copper, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, nickel, and thallium. [2] Cleanup costs may exceed $1.2 billion. [3] A toxic heavy metal is a common but misleading term for a metal-like element noted for its potential toxicity. [4]
