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..

When is corrosion useful?
Corrosion can be useful for creating materials that have specific properties, such as rust on iron that can act as a protective barrier. In some cases, controlled corrosion can be used to achieve desired aesthetics in art and architecture. Additionally, corrosion processes can be harnessed for energy generation, such as in fuel cells.
What are slide rule's disadvantages?
The main disadvantage is that in may cases the level of precision is limited to three significant figures.
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.

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.
