There are 3 types of weathering Physical Weathering which is split into two parts a.Freeze-thaw-as water enters cracks and holes it freezes and expands dueing for the rock to form cracks and breaking of the rock bunion skin (Exfoliation)-As the rock heats up and expands by day, and cools and contracts by night, stress is often exerted on the outer layers. The stress causes the peeling off the outer layers of rock in thin sheets. 2. Biological weathering- the roots and animals burrow into rocks which causes them to break. 3. Chemical weathering- mineral dissolving in the water makes the water acidic which then eats away the rock and sometimes causes holes.

What is responsibilities of corrosion engineering in any industry?
The main responsibility of corrosion engineer is to provide the expert advice and support on material selection and corrosion control issues in support of design and operational activities regarding its industry..
What is corrosion technology?
There are four main methods to Control Corrosion: # select a corrosion resistant material or alloy # apply a coating of painting to the object to be protected # used a cathodic protection system # use corrosion inhibitors There are four main methods to Control Corrosion: # select a corrosion resistant material or alloy # apply a coating of painting to the object to be protected # used a cathodic protection system # use corrosion inhibitors
Why does corrosion rate of no value on localized corrosion?
in my opinion, the value of corrosion rate obtained from certain reading is generally determine general corrosion rate, regardless what type of corrosion occur on a specific surface. in localized corrosion, where only some spots on surface is exposed to corrosion and other may be covered by film and etc. From my time of study, still didn't fine any research that can determine corrosion rate of localized corrosion unless u have a really micro- instrumentation that can monitor corrosion on the localized spots..

Can enhanced chlorine level in fresh water lead to corrosion of stainless steel?
yes, it can not only lead to corrosion but a faster corrosion.
Is alloys resist to corrosion?
Alloys can add corrosion resistance to a metal

What are the 3 main causes of corrosion?
reaction of metal surface with oxygen (atmospheric generally )cause corrosion
What are the main causes of the degradation of metals?
water corrosion
What is the effects of corrosion on the computer system?
Corrosion can cause the main hardware parts to malfunction or simply stop operating. Corrosion on the power supply unit can cause short circuits and fires.
What cause of motorcycle main switch white rust?
Water corrosion.
What has the author D Howarth written?
D. Howarth has written: 'Hepple, Howarth and Matthews' Tort' -- subject(s): Cases, Torts 'Crevice corrosion and other localized corrosion behaviour of 3CR12 corrosion-resisting steel in synthetic minewaters'
How good is copper at resisting corrosion?
The corrosion resistance of copper is great! But if the hardness was better and the strength it would be way better than titanium in some cases (not the melting point)!!!
What is used for protection?
Cathodic protection is used to control corrosion of metal on the surface of structures in various environments. In some cases Cathodic protection can prevent stress corrosion and fracturing.
What three elements prevent corrosion?
Tin, Zinc, and galvalume
What are the three effects of oxidisation in our daily life?
Rancidity ,corrosion
What are slide rule's disadvantages?
The main disadvantage is that in may cases the level of precision is limited to three significant figures.
