How can one recognize the difference between a stable surface and one that is actively corroding? ... If a strong, even film of corrosion is formed on a metal, this will often protect the underlying metal against further corrosion by providing a barrier against new chemical reactions. Thus, a stable passivating layer is produced. Stable surfaces on metal objects are generally adherent and the thickness does not increase (or increases only minimally) with time. 2, record 1, English, - stable%20surface

Comment reconnaître la différence entre une surface stable et une surface attaquée par la corrosion active? [...] Si une couche de corrosion uniforme et compacte s’est formée à la surface d’un métal, elle protégera souvent le métal sous-jacent contre la formation de corrosion supplémentaire en créant une barrière qui empêchera de nouvelles réactions chimiques. C'est ainsi que se forme une couche de passivation stable. Les surfaces stables sur les objets métalliques sont habituellement adhérentes et l'épaisseur n’ augmente pas(ou de façon très minime) au fil du temps. 1, record 1, French, - surface%20stable

A built-up roofing consists of plies or layers of roofing felt bonded together on site with hot bitumen. A protective surface coating of gravel or slag is sometimes embedded in a heavy top coating of hot bitumen. It is laid down to conform to the roof deck, and to protect all angles formed by the roof deck with projecting surfaces, and forms a single-unit flexible waterproofed membrane fastened to the deck by cementing and nailing. The simple principle on flat roofs is to turn the membrane up to form a skirting or base flashing on the vertical surfaces, making a large watertight tray. The only outlets from this tray are the roof drains to dispose of water. 3, record 3, English, - build%2Dup%20roofing

Normal shotcrete rebound percentages are about 20, but with the Bath Dome SFTM cement mix, rebound rates were between 2 and 3 percent, a dramatic decrease in wasted materials. 4, record 15, English, - rebound
