  2. Galling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galling

    Galling is a form of wear caused by adhesion between sliding surfaces. When a material galls, some of it is pulled with the contacting surface, especially if there is a large amount of force compressing the surfaces together. [ 1 ]

  3. Thread-locking fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread-locking_fluid

    Thread-locking fluid or threadlocker is a single-component adhesive, applied to the threads of fasteners such as screws and bolts to prevent loosening, leakage, and corrosion. Most thread-locking formulas are methacrylate -based and rely on the electrochemical activity of a metal substrate to cause polymerization of the fluid.

  4. Fretting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fretting

    The fundamental way to prevent fretting is to design for no relative motion of the surfaces at the contact. Surface roughness plays an important role as fretting normally occurs by the contact of the asperities of the mating surfaces. Lubricants are often employed to mitigate fretting because they reduce friction and inhibit oxidation.

  5. Thread seal tape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_seal_tape

    Thread seal tape lubricates, allowing for a deeper seating of the threads, and it helps prevent the threads from seizing when being unscrewed. [1] The tape also works as a deformable filler and thread lubricant, helping to seal the joint without hardening or making it more difficult to tighten, [ 2 ] and instead making it easier to tighten. [ 1 ]

  6. Window capping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_capping

    The capping application must direct water away from the original under-lying wood material and prevent infiltration of water into the structure. Cladding applied to exterior window and door casing (brick-moulding) and their associated parts is often referred to as window capping or window cladding. This sort of capping is typically applied in ...

  7. Mechanical pulping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_pulping

    Mechanical pulping is the process in which wood is separated or defibrated mechanically into pulp for the paper industry. The mechanical pulping processes use wood in the form of logs or chips that are mechanically processes, by grinding stones (from logs) or in refiners (from chips), to separate the fibers.

  8. Iron gall ink - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_gall_ink

    Homemade iron gall ink in use, displaying the delayed darkening of the ink Ink corrosion: iron gall ink causes paper and parchment to disintegrate. By mixing tannin with iron sulfate, a water-soluble ferrous tannate complex is formed. Because of its solubility, the ink is able to penetrate the paper surface, making it difficult to erase.

  9. Security printing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_printing

    One is a thin aluminum coated and partly de-metallized polyester film thread with microprinting which is embedded in the security paper as banknote or passport paper. The other kind of security thread is the single or multicolour sewing thread made from cotton or synthetic fibers, mostly UV fluorescent, for the bookbinding of passport booklets ...
