Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the corrosion of tinned sheet copper, particularly in cases where the tin plating offers insufficient protection and corrosion sets in. The author explores the structure and composition of the tin coating and how it relates to the corrosion process. Drawing from a specific case study of extensive corrosion on the roof of the Library of Congress, the author examines the role of surface scratches in exposing the underlying copper which subsequently triggers galvanic reactions that result in pitting and the formation of corrosion products. The book also discusses the potential impact of iron and zinc impurities in the coating and emphasizes the crucial role of even minute variations in electrolytic solution potential exhibited by the base copper. The author's detailed analysis provides valuable insights for understanding and preventing corrosion issues in tinned copper applications, making this book a useful resource for professionals involved in material science, roofing, and architectural preservation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history and evolving nature of fusible tin boiler plugs, safety devices designed to prevent catastrophic boiler explosions in steam-powered vessels. Introduced in the mid-1800s, these plugs were initially made from pure Banka tin, but the author reveals that as time went on, manufacturers began using impure tin, leading to a dramatic increase in accidents. Through a meticulous examination of hundreds of used and new plugs, the author uncovers the root causes of these failures, which often resulted in the formation of a dangerous network of oxides within the plug. The author proposes rigorous new standards for the manufacture and testing of fusible tin boiler plugs, arguing that these measures would significantly enhance the safety of steam-powered vessels. This book will be of great interest to anyone concerned with the history of maritime safety and the ongoing pursuit of safer and more reliable technologies.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between mechanical stresses and failures in brass, a common material used in construction, plumbing, and decorative applications. These failures, known as season cracking, are sudden fractures that can occur sometime after the material has been manufactured or installed without any further outside force applied. The author explores the underlying causes of these failures, particularly the role of internal stresses caused by the manufacturing process. Through a series of experiments and case studies, the author provides readers with practical methods for detecting and measuring these stresses, and discusses how to prevent them from causing catastrophic failures. This book will be of interest to engineers, architects, and other professionals involved in the design and construction of structures and products that utilize brass. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
