  2. Walcott–Rust quarry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walcott–Rust_quarry

    The Walcott–Rust quarry, in Herkimer County, New York, is an excellent example of an obrution (rapid burial or "smothered") Lagerstätte. Unique preservation of trilobite appendages resulted from early consolidation (cementation) of the surrounding rock, followed by spar filling of the interior cavity within the appendages .

  3. Cathodic protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathodic_protection

    The test results, as reported to and validated by the Competition Bureau, [54] demonstrated that the Auto Saver module being tested was able to cause a shift, in the negative direction, in the electrochemical corrosion potential of the iron in the steel panels, proving the attainment of cathodic protection and the resulting slowdown of the ...

  4. 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.

  5. Salt spray test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_spray_test

    The salt spray test (or salt fog test) is a standardized and popular corrosion test method, used to check corrosion resistance of materials and surface coatings.Usually, the materials to be tested are metallic (although stone, ceramics, and polymers may also be tested) and finished with a surface coating which is intended to provide a degree of corrosion protection to the underlying metal.

  6. Wet storage stain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_storage_stain

    Wet storage stain, more commonly known as white rust or white corrosion, is a type of zinc corrosion.It is called wet storage stain because it occurs when a fresh zinc surface is stored in a wet environment with limited oxygen and carbon dioxide sources; the restriction in air is usually due to the items being stacked on one another or otherwise stored in close quarters.

  7. Bluing (steel) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluing_(steel)

    Rust bluing was developed between hot and cold bluing processes, and was originally used by gunsmiths in the 19th century to blue firearms prior to the development of hot bluing processes. The process was to coat the gun parts in an acid solution, let the parts rust uniformly, then immerse the parts in boiling water to convert the red oxide Fe 2 O

  8. Pitting corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitting_corrosion

    The process of pit nucleation is initiated by the depassivation of the protective oxide layer isolating the metal substrate from the aggressive solution. The depassivation of the protective oxide layer is the less properly understood step in pitting corrosion and its very local and random appearance probably its most enigmatic characteristic.

  9. Calcium Lime Rust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_Lime_Rust

    Rust, which is primarily composed of iron oxides (Fe 2 O 3), also reacts with weak acids to form soluble iron salts. The reaction can be simplified as: Fe 2 O 3 + 6H + → 2Fe 3+ + 3H 2 O. In this process, iron ions (Fe 3+) are produced along with water, making the rust easier to remove without causing damage to the underlying metal or ...
