  2. Metallurgical failure analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallurgical_failure_analysis

    Metallurgical failure analysis is the process to determine the mechanism that has caused a metal component to fail.It can identify the cause of failure, providing insight into the root cause and potential solutions to prevent similar failures in the future, as well as culpability, which is important in legal cases.

  3. Galvanic corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion

    The paste consists of a lower nobility metal than aluminium or copper. Choose metals that have similar electropotentials. The more closely matched the individual potentials, the smaller the potential difference and hence the smaller the galvanic current. Using the same metal for all construction is the easiest way of matching potentials.

  4. Corrosion engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_engineering

    The driving force that causes metals to corrode is a consequence of their temporary existence in metallic form. To produce metals starting from naturally occurring minerals and ores, it is necessary to provide a certain amount of energy, e.g. Iron ore in a blast furnace .

  5. Galling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galling

    Galling is a common problem in most applications where metals slide in contact with other metals. This can happen regardless of whether the metals are the same or different. Alloys such as brass and bronze are often chosen for bearings , bushings , and other sliding applications because of their resistance to galling, as well as other forms of ...

  6. Firebox (steam engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firebox_(steam_engine)

    The firing pan is covered with firebrick and the firebox has a firebrick lining, usually up to the level of the firebox door, all the way around the firebox. The oil burner is a nozzle containing a slot for the oil to flow out onto a steam jet which atomizes the oil into a fine mist which ignites in the firebox.

  9. Oil pump (internal combustion engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pump_(internal...

    Particles in the oil can also cause serious problems with oil pressure. After oil flows through the engine, it returns to the oil pan, and can carry along a lot of debris. The debris can cause problems with the oil pickup screen and the oil pump itself. The holes in the oil pickup screen measure about 0.04 square inches (0.26 cm 2). [6]
