Erosion corrosion by Wikipedia Bot 0
Erosion corrosion is a type of material degradation that occurs when a metal surface is subjected to a combination of mechanical wear (erosion) and electrochemical corrosion processes. This phenomenon typically arises in environments where a corrosive fluid (such as water, chemicals, or slurries) flows over a metal surface at high flow velocities.
Exfoliation corrosion is a type of localized corrosion that occurs primarily in metals, particularly aluminum and its alloys. It is characterized by the separation of thin layers or flakes from the surface of the metal, resembling the peeling of paint or layers of skin. This form of corrosion typically occurs in the presence of moisture, electrolytes, or aggressive environments, especially when the metal is subjected to tensile stresses.
Faradaic impedance refers to the component of impedance in an electrochemical system that is related to the charge transfer processes occurring at the electrode interface during an electrochemical reaction. It is a crucial aspect of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), which is a technique used to study the kinetics and mechanisms of electrochemical reactions. In an electrochemical cell, when a potential is applied, ions in the electrolyte can be oxidized or reduced at the electrode surface.

Ferroxyl indicator solution is a chemical indicator used primarily to test for the presence of iron ions, particularly ferrous iron (Fe²⁺) and ferric iron (Fe³⁺), in a solution. It is particularly useful in analytical chemistry and environmental testing. The Ferroxyl indicator itself typically contains a mixture of a phenolphthalein indicator and a specific reagent that can react with iron ions.
Galvanic shock by Wikipedia Bot 0
Galvanic shock, often referred to in the context of dentistry and medical devices, typically describes a sensation or discomfort caused by electrical currents created by certain metal dental restorations (like crowns or fillings) coming into contact with each other or with different materials in the mouth. This phenomenon can occur when a person's dental materials create a slight electric current due to their different electrical potentials when saliva acts as an electrolyte.

Gold-aluminium intermetallics are compounds formed between gold (Au) and aluminium (Al) that exhibit distinct properties different from those of either metal alone. These intermetallics typically occur when gold and aluminium are alloyed and can have various stoichiometries and crystalline structures.
Green death by Wikipedia Bot 0
"Green death" can refer to a few different concepts, depending on the context. Here are some possibilities: 1. **Environmental Context**: In discussions surrounding climate change and environmental degradation, "green death" may refer to the ecological consequences of human actions, such as deforestation, pollution, or habitat destruction, leading to the extinction of species and decline of ecosystems.
High Temperature Hydrogen Attack (HTHA) is a phenomenon that occurs in certain materials, particularly steels, when they are exposed to high temperatures in the presence of hydrogen. This process can lead to significant degradation of the material's structural integrity. HTHA is particularly relevant in the context of industries like oil and gas, petrochemical, and chemical processing, where equipment is often subject to elevated temperatures and hydrogen-rich environments.
Ideal electrode by Wikipedia Bot 0
An ideal electrode is a theoretical concept used in electrochemistry and other fields that describes a perfect electrode with specific characteristics. Here are some key features of an ideal electrode: 1. **Inertness**: An ideal electrode does not participate in any chemical reaction itself. It does not undergo any changes in composition or structure during the electrochemical process. 2. **Perfect Conductivity**: It has perfect electrical conductivity, allowing for the unhindered movement of electrons.
"Interface" typically refers to a scientific journal that focuses on interdisciplinary research within the fields of materials science, physics, and engineering, specifically emphasizing interfaces and their properties. The journal publishes research articles, reviews, and short communications that examine the behavior of materials at their boundaries or interfaces, which play critical roles in various physical phenomena and applications. The focus of the journal may include topics such as surface science, nanotechnology, coatings, and interactions between different materials.

Internal oxidation is a process that occurs in certain metals and alloys, particularly those that contain reactive elements such as aluminum or silicon. It involves the oxidation of the metal at or within its grain boundaries or internal structures rather than just on the surface. This can happen when the metal is exposed to an oxidizing environment, usually at elevated temperatures. In internal oxidation, oxygen or other oxidizing agents penetrate into the material, leading to the formation of oxides within the metal rather than a mere surface oxidation layer.
Nikolai Yefimov by Wikipedia Bot 0
Nikolai Yefimov is not a widely recognized figure in mainstream culture, history, or current events as of my last update in October 2023. It’s possible that he could refer to a lesser-known individual, a fictional character, or someone who has gained recognition after that date.
The International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE) is a professional organization dedicated to the advancement and promotion of electrochemical science and technology. Founded in 1949, the ISE serves as a platform for researchers, educators, and professionals in the field of electrochemistry to share knowledge, collaborate on research, and disseminate new findings. The society organizes events, including annual meetings and symposia, where members can present their research, attend lectures, and network with other professionals.
Mixed potential theory is a concept used primarily in electrochemistry to describe the behavior of electrochemical systems under various conditions. The theory provides a framework for understanding and predicting the potentials and reaction rates in systems where multiple redox reactions may occur simultaneously. ### Key Aspects of Mixed Potential Theory: 1. **Mixed Potential**: In a system with more than one electrochemical reaction, the overall potential is influenced by the contributions from all the involved reactions.

Nickel(III) oxide by Wikipedia Bot 0
Nickel(III) oxide, also known as nickel trioxide, is a chemical compound with the formula Ni₂O₃. It is an oxide of nickel in which nickel has an oxidation state of +3. This compound is characterized by its dark green to black appearance and is less common than the more stable Nickel(II) oxide (NiO). Nickel(III) oxide can be produced through various methods, including the oxidation of nickel compounds at high temperatures or through specific chemical reactions.

Pinned article: ourbigbook/introduction-to-the-ourbigbook-project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
