Zinc plating prevents decay of the metal by forming a physical barrier on metal and by acting as a barrier if this barrier is damaged. Zinc coatings provide the most effective way of protecting steel against corrosion. Zinc reacts with oxygen to form zinc oxide that further reacts with water molecules in the air to form zinc hydroxide. Finally zinc hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to yield a thin, impermeable, firm and quite insoluble dull grey layer of zinc carbonate which protects it from further corrosion. How Zinc Protects When left unprotected, steel will decay in almost any environment. Zinc coatings stop corrosion by providing two protections,namely a[..]

  The diesel exhaust system is one of the most essential parts of an automobile run by diesel. It helps to dispose of the harmful engine gases from your truck as well as reduces the noise, which is made by those evading gases. In fact, this diesel exhaust system transports the harmful carbon monoxide to a particular point behind the passenger compartment before releasing them. Thus, they are also regarded as an essential security tool. However, a defective diesel exhaust system causes several risks such as leakage of the gases into the passenger compartment that may further result in irresistible vomiting, sickness, headaches, and even tetchiness. Remaining in such a condition may also[..]

Sheet metal is surprisingly underappreciated by all except those that have ever worked with it. It is perhaps one of those utility products which is often admired by the discerning person, but few people give any real thought to the actual material and the skill, work and effort involved in its manufacture and application.

This cartridge enables the faucet to easily stop the water flow without making leaks and to detect the difference between the stainless steel pipes used for the hot and cold water. Having this newly invented technology proves the quality of Moen products. However, this cartridge is not exempted from the disastrous effects of wear and tear. As years pass[..]

Exhaust systems are generally ignored by most car owners. But, there is a lot of muscle in a good car exhaust system. The exhaust system of your car is essentially a tubing system that guides exhaust fumes and waste gases away from the engine of your car, and into the air outside through one or two exhaust pipes. The design of exhaust systems has to be perfect in order to facilitate the transportation of toxic gases. Additionally, the pipe must be heat resistant because most engines are very hot and pipes that become too hot can easily cause burns and scalds. If the pipe has holes, it will emit toxic wastes and your car will fail its MOT test. So, a robust exhaust system is vital to[..]

In thousands of homes on well water, acidic water causes thinning of copper pipes, pinhole leaks, and numerous copper pipe leaks over time. Acidic water filtration systems can easily correct and neutralize a low pH in well water. The pH scale is a scale from 1 to 14. A neutral pH is 7. A ph of less than 7 is considered acidic. A pH greater than 7 is considered alkaline and is less corrosive to copper pipes than waters with a pH of less than 7. Signs of acid water are corrosion of fixtures, blue staining (from copper pipes) or rust staining (from iron pipes). Acidic water can also cause pinhole leaks and pipe failure over time. By raising the pH to the range of 7.0 to 7.5 the water can be[..]

Small mirrors are used to guide light from the laser to a particular location on the material. The base of the cutting area is made from a honeycomb material to let the laser light pass through. This has to be replaced periodically. Laser cutting machines are distinct from traditional mechanical cutters. Since the laser never makes physical contact with material and there is less[..]

Metal embossing is the art of creating designs on a metal sheet, by raising or sinking and smoothening the surfaces, to give it a three dimensional look. The hollows or raised portions may be filled with paint or may remain as it is. This is done to make simple wall hangings or as a collection for scrapbooks. It is mainly done as a hobby and one could make money by selling the pieces to people who would like to use them as home décor. Metal embossing as a craft, was used by the ancient Celts and later found its way into Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The sheet metals that are generally used for embossing are copper, pewter and aluminium. They come in various thicknesses, with a shiny[..]

We are gonna see a simple analogy of the most used and efficient Metal Cutting technologies which is being used in the industry like plasma, waterjet, oxyfuel, laser and so on. First we are starting the comparison of Oxyfuel Cutting. With this technique of metal cutting, a torch is being used to heat the metal to great temperature. The strong flow of oxygen that is poured over the metal counters with the metal surface in which we are working on with a chemical reaction- oxidizes the steel on which we are working and puffing it away to structure the cut that we are aiming for. In fact an interesting thing here is the heat formed during this process is a byproduct of the method. Oxyfuel is[..]

Sheet metal stamping is the system wherein metal sheets are used for producing final products. When a metal sheet is inserted into the die or the press, it is molded into the required shape and size. Metal sheets of only a certain thickness can be inserted into metal stamping machines. The maximum limit for most metal stamping machines is ¼ inch. However, machines can be designed to accommodate sheets of greater thickness also. Even the kind of metal sheets that can be processed in metal stamping are also specific. Only certain metals or alloys can be used like aluminum, brass, steel (hot rolled or cold rolled), galvanized steel, stainless steel, copper, zinc and titanium. Before[..]

Stainless steel is popularly used in the manufacture of restaurant counter tops, utensils, sinks, catering equipment, etc. This material is non-porous and doesn't lead to contamination.

First developed in the goldfields of the state of Georgia, the rocker was an important gold mining tool. At the very dawn of the Gold rush to California, the rocker box also known as a cradle was perhaps the most used piece of gold prospecting equipment. For a time it was perhaps even more important that the gold pan. Mostly this was because the miner could make a rocker for himself in the field from rough sawn lumber cut in the forest. They are also easily portable. Rocker boxes were also popular during the Klondike gold rush for working the hillside placers that were far above the creeks. The 'rocker' is a box with a hopper about 3 to 4 ft. long and 1 to 2 ft. wide, sloped like a[..]
