  • Durability and Corrosion of Aluminium and Its Alloys: Overview, Property Space, Techniques and Developments
    Chapter 2 Durability and Corrosion of Aluminium and Its Alloys: Overview, Property Space, Techniques and Developments N. L. Sukiman, X. Zhou, N. Birbilis, A.E. Hughes, J. M. C. Mol, S. J. Garcia, X. Zhou and G. E. Thompson Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/53752 1. Introduction Aluminium (Al) is an important structural engineering material, its usage ranking only behind ferrous alloys (Birbilis, Muster et al. 2011). The growth in usage and production of Al continues to increase (Davis 1999). The extensive use of Al lies in its strength:density ratio, toughness, and to some degree, its corrosion resistance. From a corrosion perspec‐ tive, which is most relevant to this chapter, Al has been a successful metal used in a num‐ ber of applications from commodity roles, to structural components of aircraft. A number of Al alloys can be satisfactorily deployed in environmental/atmospheric conditions in their conventional form, leaving the corrosion protection industry to focus on market needs in more demanding applications (such as those which require coating systems, for example, the aerospace industry). Relatively pure aluminium presents good corrosion resistance due to the formation of a bar‐ rier oxide film that is bonded strongly to its surface (passive layer) and, that if damaged, re- forms immediately in most environments; i.e. re-passivation (Davis 1999). This protective oxide layer is especially stable in near-neutral solutions of most non-halide salts leading to excellent pitting resistance. Nevertheless, in open air solutions containing halide ions, with Cl- being the most common, aluminium is susceptible to pitting corrosion.

Acknowledgments Thanks to the members of the BackyardMetalcasting.com forums, without which this book would never have existed. i Disclaimer Many of the activities described in this book are very dangerous. I make an attempt to point out some specific safety precautions as they come up, but there is no way I can point out every conceivable danger. I'm not a professional foundryman, scientist, or engineer, just a hobbyist—so there may be dangers that I don't even know about. For that matter, any advice I give could be wrong or even dangerous in certain situations. I can't be held responsible for any harm that comes to person or property as a result of following my advice or using any of the information in this book. Remember, the extremely high temperatures that liquid metal can reach are more than enough to send you to the hospital or kill you, or to set fire to anything nearby (like your house). Other activities, like welding or machining, present their own very serious dangers. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Table of Contents Introduction...........................................................................................................................1

  • Session Review • 2017 Hbasc Initiatives
    SESSION 2 017 REVIEW SESSION 2 017 REVIEW Dear HBA of SC Members, The 2017 legislative session (the first year of a two year session) has concluded and we are pleased to report that your advocacy team were able to continue to protect the housing industry from unnecessary regulations and set a foundation for future prosperity. Last fall our leadership charted an ambitious legislative agenda to safeguard our industry, protect affordable housing and promote a skilled workforce. Major initiatives like these requires all of the elements of modern advocacy. The HBA employed lobbyists and strong electronic issues advocacy tools to address more than 125 bills that could affect our industry. These tools were paired with technical research on our key issues, expert testimony from our membership, grassroots engagement at key moments in the session, and the annual gathering at the Bird Supper. All of these elements work together to raise awareness and to inspire legislators to act. With a half-dozen major proposals working their way through the process, it took dedicated housing champions to manage these bills and all of our efforts must continue through next year. The mission of the HBASC is advocacy of our industry. Our association has been, and will continue to be, a major contributor toward our state’s growth in the decades to come. Your involvement in the HBA secures your voice in the future of your livelihood. Our Association must continue to protect the future of homeownership through affordable housing; develop and maintain a skilled workforce and promote a foundation for further economic development.

KAPPEL has been approved for the Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts by William F. Condee Professor of Interdisciplinary Arts Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 4 ABSTRACT KAPPEL, CAROLINE J., Ph.D., November 2007, Interdisciplinary Arts Labyrinthine Depictions and Tempting Colors: The Synaesthetic Dances of Loïe Fuller as Symbolist Choreography (246 pp.) Director of Dissertation: William F. Condee This study explores Loïe Fuller’s use of synaesthesia to bring together various sensations so as to create a dreamlike effect in her choreography, while at the same time presenting a visual representation of symbolist ideals. On the music-hall stage she created popular ideas that had otherwise been restricted to small experimental theaters. In the visual arts, she became a constant public image of poster art as well as paintings, sculptures, and prints. She also dramatically presented the visualization of avant-garde color theories, while simultaneously representing symbolist ideals of the literary world. By tracing her explorations with the other arts in the context of various artistic, scientific, and movement theories, Fuller’s work can serve as a model for interdisciplinary studies in the fine arts.
