    as previously stated, has outstanding biocompatibility, flexibility, stability, softness, water-tightness, resistance to corrosion, and acts as an insulator from electrical stimulus. While platinum is used as the conductive material because it has low chemical reactivity, is highly corrosion resistant, biocompatible, flexible, and does not display stimulus-induced corrosion resistance like most other conductive metals, meaning it should last the lifetime of the patient. These properties simply make

    The purpose of this project was to discover how the pH level affects corrosion rate. The hypothesis was if the pH level affects the corrosion rate, then the lower the pH level is quicker the corrosion rate would be. This will happen because liquids below the pH level of 7 possess stronger acidic attributes. The effect of pH level on corrosion rate was determined by depositing a copper penny in each of three plastic cups, and then three different liquids by their pH levels, were assigned to be displaced

    Barnuevo CHEM 17.1 13L Group 1 February 7, 2014 February 19, 2014 Exercise 12 SOME INVESTIGATIONS ON THE CORROSION OF IRON I. Introduction Metals undergo natural destruction that allows a spontaneous deteriorating reaction where they return to their original state from where they are obtained upon contact with the surrounding, particularly when reacted to oxygen. Such phenomenon is known as corrosion (Zumdahl, 1998). This leads the surface of the materials to rust in due time. Usually, this kind of process

    alloy and low carbon steels that are prone to corrosion in the absence of proper surface protection [1,2]. Therefore, car body is traditionally coated with primer, followed by paint for better corrosion resistance. However, due to process complication, design intricacy and other issues, it is often observed that despite of applying several layers of primer and paint on the car body, it suffers from General, Pitting, and Crevice corrosion. When such corrosion occurs within the warranty period, it usually

    Aluminium is a very reactive metal with high affinity for oxygen but the metal is highly resistant to most environments and to a great variety of chemical agents. This resistance is due to the inert and protective character of the aluminium oxide film which forms on the metal surface. Welding of aluminium still represents a critical operation due to its complexity and the high level of defect that can be produced in the joint. The main problems are related to the properties of aluminium. They are:
