Record 1 2023-10-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Steel
DEF

A Japanese malleable iron containing only a small amount of carbon.

CONT

A remarkable characteristic of "hocho-tetsu" is high corrosion-resistance caused by the formation of [a thin] magnetite... film on the surface of [the] steel. Although [it is] often heavily corroded on the surface, [its core contains] sound metallic iron that is free of oxide scaling.

  • Ship Maintenance
CONT

In the clear resin film tests of the zinc acrylate copolymer, molecular weight did not greatly affect the dissolution rate ... As expected from the dissolution rate of the copolymer itself, anti-fouling paints formulated with various zinc acrylate copolymers were found to have erosion rates mainly dependent on function group concentration and hydrophilicity of the resin polymer ... The surface profile of the zinc acrylate anti-fouling, observed by laser microscopy, was also found to be similar to SPC AF [self-polishing anti-fouling] and smoother than other tin-free anti-fouling paints ...

OBS

Are all metal acrylate TBT [tributyltin] free SPC antifoulings the same? No. There are two types of metal acrylate antifoulings. The first type are the copper acrylate... systems. The second type are the zinc acrylate systems. Although the biocides used in these two antifouling systems are essentially the same with the predominant biocide in both systems being copper oxide, copper complexes are more tightly bound and stable in seawater than zinc complexes. In the presence of the copper oxide biocide, zinc acrylate systems(in our experience) may undergo chemical exchange reactions with the copper oxide biocide. Copper acrylate systems do not undergo this exchange. The stability, longevity and performance of the copper acrylate... systems can therefore be expected to be greater than that of typical zinc acrylate deep sea systems.

Record 3 2006-05-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Petrography
CONT

Superior type. These are thinly banded rocks mostly belonging to the oxide, carbonate and silicate facies. They are usually free of clastic material.

CONT

The pellets of certain deposits ... include sand or carbonate grains, small fossils or fossil debris, and clastic phosphate material from earlier-formed phosphate ....

Domaine(s)
  • Pétrographie
CONT

Le résultat final de la désagrégation mécanique est de transformer une roche cohérente en fragments meubles (matériel clastique ou détritique). Celui-ci est emporté par les agents d'érosion ou continue à se décomposer sur place très rapidement, car l'attaque chimique s'opère maintenant sur des surfaces considérablement accrues. De toute façon, on assiste à la disparition totale de la roche primitive.

Subject field(s)
  • Concrete Construction
DEF

Ocrate process.(Trade name). The treatment of concrete with gaseous [silicon tetrafluoride] to transform any free CaO [calcium oxide] into [fluorite].

French

Domaine(s)
  • Bétonnage
DEF

Traitement des dallages de béton au tétrafluorure de silicium [...], ayant pour effet d'améliorer leur résistance aux agents chimiques (acides et corps gras); les bétons ocratés sont aussi plus résistants à la compression, au poinçonnement et à l'abrasion (antipoussière).

Record 6 1997-06-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Copper and Copper Alloys (Metallurgy)
DEF

Copper free from copper oxide and containing controlled amounts of metallic or metalloidal deoxidizers, such as phosphorus, lithium, boron, calcium.

OBS

The phosphorus deoxidized copper is most commonly used.

French

  • Cuivre et alliages du cuivre (Métallurgie)
DEF

Cuivre exempt d'oxyde cuivreux contenant des quantités contrôlées de désoxydants métalloïdiques ou métalliques, tel que phosphore, lithium, bore, calcium.

OBS

Le cuivre désoxydé au phosphore est le plus couramment utilisé.
