2. Rust converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_converter

   Rust converters are chemical solutions or primers that can be applied directly to an iron or iron alloy surface to convert iron oxides into a protective chemical barrier. These compounds interact with iron oxides, especially iron(III) oxide , converting them into an adherent black layer ( black oxide ) that is more resistant to moisture and ...

3. Conversion coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_coating

   A conversion coating is a chemical or electro-chemical treatment applied to manufactured parts that superficially converts the material into a thin adhering coating of an insoluble compound.

4. Converting (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Converting_(metallurgy)

   The converting process occurs in a converter. Two kinds of converters are widely used: horizontal and vertical. Horizontal converters of the Peirce-Smith type (which are an improvement of the Manhès-David converter ) prevail in the metallurgy of non-ferrous metals. Such a converter is a horizontal barrel lined with refractory material inside.

5. Rust - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust

   Rust scale forming and flaking off from a steel bar heated to its forging temperature of 1200°C. Rapid oxidation occurs when heated steel is exposed to air. Rust is a general name for a complex of oxides and hydroxides of iron, [4] which occur when iron or some alloys that contain iron are exposed to oxygen and moisture for a long period of ...

6. Corrosion in ballast tanks - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_in_ballast_tanks

   This ullage or headspace area contains more oxygen and thus speeds atmospheric corrosion, as evidenced by the appearance of rust scales. In the midsection corrodes more slowly than upper or the bottom sections of the tank. Double bottoms are prone to cathodic blistering. Temperatures in this area are much lower due to the cooling of the sea.

7. Catalytic converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_converter

   A three-way catalytic converter on a gasoline-powered 1996 Dodge Ram Simulation of flow inside a catalytic converter. A catalytic converter is an exhaust emission control device which converts toxic gases and pollutants in exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine into less-toxic pollutants by catalyzing a redox reaction.
