Made Corrosion Resistant by a
Transparent Film
ALUMINUM OXIDE
Harden: Heating & Sudden Cooling
Pliable: Heating and Slow Cooling
Commercial Form:
CRUDE OR PIG IRON 3-4% Carbon
Can't be extruded
Normally covered with thin film
of STANNIC OXIDE
resists corrosion by: air, moisture
sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide
Used as protective coating for
stronger metals
Resistant to corrosion by water
If exposed to air, film forms
ZINC CARBONATE OR OXIDE
protects from further oxidation
Principal Use: Alloying agent in
Ferrous and Non Ferrous Metallurgy
Chromium is ELECTRODEPOSITED
as a thin layer of pure metal
Major use is in ALLOYS
Other use: protective or decorative
coating for other metals
Used in rough hardware items
bolts screws washers nails
OTHER INFO:
Highly Resistant to Corrosion
by Air and Salt Water
Insoluble Green Salt: Patina
retards further corrosion
Corrodes in presence of
ELECTROLYTES
