Виды сварочных аппаратов в мире

Welder machines come in all shapes and sizes from the small home workshop welder to industrial welding machines used for car manufacture and specialized industries.

Mig welding machines

Regarded as the most versatile and the most common welding machine in home workshops and industry. Can be used for welding several different metals including mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium. Top models include Miller, Lincoln and Hobart.

Tig welding machines

More specialized than MIG welders TIG machines are used for precision work and can weld more types of metal than any other process. Metals suitable to TIG weld are stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, copper, bronze, brass, gold, magnesium, chromoly, and nickel alloys.

Tig welding gives pure clean welds without splatter, sparks and smoke fumes. Ideal for welding metal artwork, aluminum cycle and motorcycle frames plus clean stainless welding for applications such as food processing equipment.

Arc Welders. Basic weld machine that have been around for many years. Can be purchased for very little money these days and in the right curcumstances can be very useful. Ideal for repair work where a mig welder is not suited to such as on site and field work where portability is needed and also where welding gasses can be blown away due to wind.

Spot Welding Machines

Spot Welding is a common resistance welding technique utilized to join 2 to 4 overlapping steel sheets that are anywhere up to 3 mm thick each. In many applications using just 2 overlapping metallic sheets, the sheet thickness could be as much as 6 millimeters. A pair of electrodes are concurrently utilized to secure the metal sheets together and move current throughout the sheets. Some great benefits of the technique consist of effective power use, restricted workpiece deformation, higher manufacturing rates, simple automation, with no necessary filler materials. Spot welding is employed instead of more expensive mechanized fastening, for example riveting and screwing, and when disassembly for maintenance is not needed. Whilst weld strength at each weld spot is significant, the fact that the weld spots don’t form a continuing seam ensures that the general sturdiness is usually considerably less than with welding techniques, making the procedure suited to only specific applications. It’s utilized broadly within the motor vehicle industry where cars can have several thousand spot welds.

Plastic Welding machines

Plastic welding is one of the most innovative and different kinds of processes. It is specially designed for welding plastic materials, which are otherwise difficult to weld using conventional welding processes. For how to weld plastic parts, the films are fused and pressure is applied against them. The technique of plastic welding is diverse in nature, and has many variants with high number of applications for industrial use.

Most commonly there are GMAW, GTAW, or SMAW machines. There are many different types though. There are transformer based machines that can be set up for rig or stick. You can add a wire feeder and have one machine that will do all three. You can buy a generator that is capable of welding. (Miller bobcat is an example) there are smaller inverter type machines like the Miller dynasty or the esab suitcase. Some people could even call an oxy/fuel setup and tanks a “welding machine “

Сварочное производство в Британии и Канаде

Most of the early developments in iron and steel production originated in Britain, the world’s eighth largest steel-production nation in 1979. The Iron and Steel Act 1967 brought together into public ownership 14 major companies and created the British Steel Corporation (BSC). In recent years BSC has produced about 82 per cent of Britain’s crude steel and is the largest steel undertaking in Western Europe. As a result of the widespread industrial recession, employment in the steel industry has been declining, both in Britain and in other countries.

The remaining (private sector) companies are represented by the British Independent Steel Producers’ Association whose members employ some 60,000 people and account for over a third of the value of the industry’s turnover. The private sector is particularly strong in the manufacture of alloy and stainless steels and of finished products for the engineering industry. The main steel producing areas are Yorkshire and Humberside (32 per cent of crude steel output in 1979), Wales (32 per cent), the Northern region (15 per cent), Scotland (8 per cent) and the West Midlands (5 per cent).

About 75 per cent of British steel producers’ deliveries of finished steel products are used by home industry and the remainder for direct export, the major markets for which are the rest of the European Community and the United States. A large part of the steel used by industry in Britain is also subsequently exported as part of other finished products.

The castings industry plays an important role in meeting the needs of manufacturers for essential components for products sold both in Britain and abroad. Its main customers are the vehicle, mechanical engineering, building and construction industries. The British Cast Iron Research Association, the Steel Casting Research and Trade Association conduct much of the research and development in the industry.

Britain’s non-ferrous metal processing and fabricating industry is one of the largest in Europe. Its major products are aluminium (both virgin and secondary metal), secondary and refined copper, lead and primary zinc. Tin mining in Cornwall supplies about 25 per cent of Britain’s tin requirements but otherwise British metal smelting and refining industries are based on imported ores. Britain is also a major producer of the newer specialised metals including uranium, zirconium and beryllium for the nuclear energy industry, niobium for aircraft production and selenium, silicon, germanium and tantalum for electronic apparatus. Titanium and titanium alloys are also produced and used in aircraft production, power generation and North Sea oil production, where their lightness, resistance to stress, flexibility and resistance to oxidisation are especially valued. Nearly half the industry is situated in the Midlands. Other centres include south Wales, London, Tyneside and Avonmouth, where a zinc smelter of some 100,000 tonnes capacity operates. Three large-scale aluminium smelters provide 85 per cent of Britain’s requirements for primary aluminium. The large non-ferrous metals fabricating industry uses large quantities of imported refined metals such as copper, lead, zinc and aluminium. A wide range of semi-manufactures is produced in these metals and their alloys, and, particularly in aluminium, firms are engaged in smelting, casting and fabrication by rolling, extrusion and drawing; advanced techniques of powder metallurgy and pressure die-casting are also employed. In recent years considerable progress has been made in the development of ‘superplastic’ alloys, which are more ductile and elastic than conventional alloys.

Scientific and technological research for the industry is conducted by the Warren Spring Laboratory of the Department of Industry and by the British Non-Ferrous (BNF) Metals Technology Centre.

Once a French cabman played a good joke on Conan Doyle.

When Conan Doyle arrived in Paris it was raining heavily. He took a cab and asked the cabman to take him to the Ritz Hotel as he had reserved a room there a few days before.

The cabman brought him to the hotel. When he had received his fare he said, "Thank you, Mr. Conan Doyle". "How do you know my name?" asked Conan Doyle.

"Well, sir," replied the driver, "the other day I saw in the papers that you were coming from the South of France to Paris. Your appearance told me you were British, and I also saw you had had your hair cut in the South of France. So I decided it was you. "You are a wonderful detective," said Conan Doyle. "Were there any other things about me, that could help you to think it was I?" "Well," said the cabman, "there was also your name on your suit-case, sir".

2. Convert into INDIRECT SPEECH.

1. "He is a good architect. Nobody can offer a better project", remarks the boss.

2. "I asked the manager some questions on construction works", said Peter.

Экология окружающей среды в ХМАО

Environmental problems have become exceptionally acute in the modern world and environmental protection has become a vital necessity for all people.

Our planet is in serious danger. One of the most important environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Industrial pollution has made sources of water undrinkable. Rivers, lakes and even seas have become poisonous. Thousands of fish die every year as a result of the illegal dumping of waste in rivers by factories all over the world.

Lake Baikal is one of the world's largest and most beautiful lakes. It contains a rich variety of fish and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere in the world. However, they are being killed by the massive industrial waste, which some factories still pour into lake every day. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water was limitless. Now clean water is scarce, and we are beginning to respect this precious resource. We must protect the clean water that remains for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Air pollution is another important problem. In hundreds of cities and towns the concentration of harmful substances in the air is over ten times the admissible level. Every day a huge number of plants and factories emit lots of harmful substances into the atmosphere of big cities. The great increase in the use of motor cars in the last quarter of the 20-th century has caused an increase in a new kind of air pollution. Pollution from factories and cars poisons the air we breath and is the main reason for the greenhouse effect and acid rains.

The acid rain can damage life in lakes and rivers and destroy forests. Greenhouse effect may also have disastrous consequences for our planet. It is already affecting areas of the world with unusual weather causing droughts or heavy storms. The world's temperature is going up and the climate is changing. Cutting down on emissions from large plants and exhaust fumes from vehicles could help solve the problem. I think we should try and use alternative energy such as solar energy and wind energy, and design plants and cars that run on electricity, a much cleaner fuel than petrol.

One of the most alarming environmental problems is depletion of the ozone layer, which protects the Earth from the dangerous ultraviolet rays of the sun. Because of the ozone holes the dangerous rays get through the atmosphere, causing skin cancer and other serious diseases. Many scientists think that these ozone holes are the result of air pollution.

In my opinion, the most urgent ecological problem today is the environmental safety of nuclear power stations. Nuclear pollution can't be seen but its effects can be terrible. We all know how tragic the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster are. Nuclear waste also endangers people's life. People all over the world protest against nuclear tests and nuclear weapons. If we do not take any action, the possibility of a global nuclear disaster is very real.

Of course, we can't help mentioning such burning issues as destruction of tropical forests and wildlife, overpopulation and shortage of natural resources. The list of serious problems could be continued

In short, people have destroyed our environment by building huge cities and power stations, developing industries, cutting down trees and excavating mountains. In pursuit of new inventions and discoveries, as well as higher and higher profits, man has forgotten about nature, and it has led him to the edge of ecological catastrophe. Ignorance about ecology may lead to further destruction of nature and worsen living conditions for all living beings.

1 Answer the following questions:

1. Why is our planet in serious danger? 2. What ecological problems are urgent now? 3. What is the influence of pollution on people's health? 4. What is happening to our forests? 5. What are the consequences of nuclear disasters? 6. Was life better a hundred years ago? Why do you think so? 7. What ecological problems exist in your home place? 8. How can we save our planet? 9. What can you personally do to help our ecology?

Машиностроение как обрабатывающая промышленность. Виды машиностроения

An automated production line consists of a series of workstations connected by a transfer system to move parts between the stations. This is an example of fixed automation, since these lines are setup for long production runs, making large number of product units and running for several years between changeovers. Each station is designed to perform a specific processing operation, so that the part or product is constructed stepwise as it progresses along the line. A raw work part enters at one end of the line, proceeds through each workstation and appears at the other end as a completed product. In the normal operation of the line, there is a work part being processed at each station, so that many parts are being processed simultaneously and a finished part is produced with each cycle of the line. The various operations, part transfers, and other activities taking place on an automated transfer line must all be sequenced and coordinated properly for the line to operate efficiently.

Modern automated lines are controlled by programmable logic controllers, which are special computers that can perform timing and sequencing functions required to operate such equipment. Automated production lines are utilized in many industries, mostly automobile, where they are used for processes such as machining and pressworking.

Machining is a manufacturing process in which metal is removed by a cutting or shaping tool, so that the remaining work part is the desired shape. Machinery and motor components are usually made by this process. In many cases, multiple operations are required to completely shape the part. If the part is mass-produced, an automated transfer line is often the most economical method of production.-Many separate operations are divided among the workstations.

Pressworking operations involve the cutting and forming of parts from sheet metal. Examples of such parts include automobile body panels, outer shells of laundry machines and metal furniture More than one processing step is often required to complete a complicated part. Several presses are connected together in sequence by handling mechanisms that transfer the partially completed parts from one press to the next, thus creating an automated pressworking line.

Manufacturing is one of the most important application are for automation technology. There are several types of automation in manufacturing. The examples of automated systems used in manufacturing are described below.

1. Fixed automation, sometimes called «hard automation» refers to automated machines in which the equipment configuration allows fixed sequence of processing operations. These machines are programmed by their design to make only certain processing operations. They are not easily changed over- from one product style to another. This form of automation needs high initial in vestments and high production rates. That is why it is suitable for products that are made in large volumes. Examples of fixed automation are machining transfer lines found in the automobile industry, automatic assembly machines and certain chemical processes.

2. Programmable automation is a form of automation for producing products in large quantities, ranging from several dozen to several thousand units at a time. For each new product the production equipment must be reprogrammed and changed over. This reprogramming and change over fake a period of non-productive time. Production rates in programmable automation are generally lower than in fixed automation, because the equipment is designed to facilitate product changeover rather than for product specialization. A numerical-control machine-tool is a good example of programmable automation. The program is coded in computer memory for each different product style and the machine-tool is controlled by the computer programmer.

3. Flexible automation is a kind of programmable automation. Programmable automation requires time to re-program and change over the production equipment for each series of new product. This is lost production time, which is expensive. In flexible automation the number of products is limited so that the changeover of the equipment, can be done very quickly and automatically. The reprogramming of the equipment in flexible automation is done at a computer terminal without using the production equipment itself. Flexible automation allows a mixture of different products to be produced one right after another.

The type of connection and the edge preparation are to be appropriate to the welding procedure adopted, the structural elements to be connected and the stresses to which they are subjected.

In general, butt connections of plating are to be full penetration, welded on both sides except where special procedures or specific techniques are adopted. Connections different from the above may be accepted by the Society on a caseby-case basis; in such cases, the relevant detail and workmanship specifications are to be approved. In case of welding plates with a difference in gross thickness equal to or greater than 3.00 or 4.00 mm, if the thinner plate has a gross thickness equal to or less than 10 mm, a taper having a length of not less than 4 times the difference in gross thickness is to be adopted for connections of plating perpendicular to the direction of main stresses. For connections of plating parallel to the direction of main stresses, the taper length

may be reduced to 3 times the difference in gross thickness. When the difference in thickness is less than the above values, it may be accommodated in the weld transition between plates. The acceptable root gap is to be in accordance with the adopted welding procedure and relevant bevel preparation. Butt welding on permanent backing, i.e. butt welding assembly of two plates backed by the flange or the face plate of a stiffener, may be accepted where back welding is not feasible or in specific cases deemed acceptable by the Society. The type of bevel and the gap between the members to be assembled are to be such as to ensure a proper penetration of the weld on its backing and an adequate connection to the stiffener as required.

When lengths of longitudinals of the shell plating within 0,6 L amidships, or elements in general, subject to high stresses, are to be connected together by butt joints, these are to be full penetration. Other solutions may be adopted if deemed acceptable by the Society on a case-by-case basis. The work is to be done in accordance with an approved procedure; in particular, this requirement applies to work done on board or in conditions of difficult access to the welded connection.

In general, ordinary fillet welding (without bevel) may be adopted for T connections of the various simple and composite structural elements, where they are subjected to low stresses (in general not exceeding 30 N/mm2) and adequate precautions are taken to prevent the possibility of local laminations of the element against which the T web is welded. Where this is not the case, partial or full T penetration welding is to be adopted. This applies particularly to members over than 12 mm thick constituting the whole or part of the engine seatings. Fillet welding may be of the following types:continuous fillet welding, where the weld is constituted by a continuous fillet on each side of the abutting plate; intermittent fillet welding, which may be subdivided into chain welding, scallop welding, staggered welding. Continuous fillet welding is to be adopted for watertight connections, for connections of brackets, lugs and scallops, at the ends of connections for a length of at least 75 mm, where intermittent welding is not allowed. Continuous fillet welding may also be adopted in lieu of intermittent welding wherever deemed suitable, and it is recommended where the spacing is low. In case of automatic or semi-automatic deep penetration weld, the throat thickness may be reduced. It may be required by the Society to be increased, depending on the results of structural analyses. The leg length of fillet weld T connections is to be not less than 1.4 times the required throat thickness.

The throat thickness of the welds between the cut-outs in primary supporting member webs for the passage of ordinary stiffeners is to be not less than the value obtained, in mm, from the special formula. The throat thickness of fillet welds connecting ordinary stiffeners and collar plates, if any, to the web of primary supporting members is to be not less than 0,35 tW, where tW is the web gross thickness, in mm. When fillet welding is carried out with automatic welding procedures, the throat thickness may be reduced up to 15 %, depending on the properties of the electrodes and consumables. However, this reduction may not be greater than 1,5 mm. The same reduction applies also for semi-automatic procedures where the welding is carried out in the downhand position.

The heat treatment of steel after its formation is rather important. The treatment of steel is now an elaborate science of its own, and it is, of course, closely connected with the contents of the steel. The heating and the quenching are designed to bring about the arrangement of the crystalline structure in the desired way, to give the required properties. For example, steels containing a high percentage of carbon may be quenched after being heated to a high temperature to make them hard, and then moderately tempered to restore toughness.

No steel is used today that has not been tested. The simplest examinations are those made with magnifying glass or a microscope.

Spectroscopic or chemical analysis, x-ray examination, and magnetic or electrical tests may be applied. Specimens are also subjected to3 physical tests for toughness, strength, and hardness.

When the mechanical working of a metal or alloy takes place above the recrystallization temperature, the process is known as hot working.

In a hot-working metal or alloy the grains are being continually formed as hot working continues, and the size of the grains depends upon the temperature. The smallest grains are formed when the temperature is just above the recrystallization temperature, and this is usually the best finishing temperature for hot working operations.

Hot rolling and forging are very widely in the fabrication of metal shape, and, even when the finishing operation is to be cold working, the preliminary shaping is done by hot working.

The temperature of the metal for hot working depends on the metal or alloy, and there is a best temperature range and a best finishing temperature in each case.

Each metal has a certain critical temperature, known as the recrystallization temperature, and any mechanical deformation performed below the recrystallization temperature is cold working. In practically all cases, cold working means the deformation of a metal at room temperature.

When a metal is cold-worked, it becomes harder and more brittle as the working progress, and the metal is said to be strain-hardened or work- hardened. The grains of a cold-worked metal are distorted and elongated, and the internal structure of the grains becomes disorganized (but the crystalinity of the metal is not destroyed).

Cold working copper, for example, is fairly hard and definitely elastic as compared with cast copper which is soft and has no elasticity.

Автоматизированное производство продукции на современных предприятиях и заводах

Today most robots are used in manufacturing operations. The applications of robots can be divided into three categories:

1. material handling

2. processing operations

3. assembly and inspection.

Material-handling is the transfer of material and loading and unloading of machines. Material-transfer applications require the robot to move materials or work parts from one to another. Many of these tasks are relatively simple: robots pick up parts from one conveyor and place them on another. Other transfer operations are more complex, such as placing parts in an arrangement that can be calculated by the robot. Machine loading and unloading operations utilize a robot to load and unload parts. This requires the robot to be equipped with a gripper that can grasp parts. Usually the gripper must be designed specifically for the particular part geometry.

In robotic processing operations, the robot manipulates a tool to perform a process on the work part. Examples of such applications include spot welding, continuous arc welding and spray painting. Spot welding of automobile bodies is one of the most common applications of industrial robots. The robot positions a spot welder against the automobile panels and frames to join them. Arc welding is a continuous process in which robot moves the welding rod along the welding seam. Spray painting is the manipulation of a spray-painting gun over the surface of the object to be coated. Other operations in this category include grinding and polishing in which a rotating spindle serves as the robot's tool.

The third application area of industrial robots is assembly and inspection. The use of robots in assembly is expected to increase because of the high cost of manual labour. But the design of the product is an important aspect of robotic assembly. Assembly methods that are satisfactory for humans are not always suitable for robots. Screws and nuts are widely used for fastening in manual assembly, but the same operations are extremely difficult for a one-armed robot.

Inspection is another area of factory operations in which the utilization of robots is growing. In a typical inspection job, the robot positions a sensor with respect to the work part and determines whether the part answers the quality specifications. In nearly all industrial robotic applications, the robot provides a substitute for human labour. There are certain characteristics of industrial jobs performed by humans that can be done by robots:

1. the operation is repetitive, involving the same basic work motions every cycle,

2. the operation is hazardous or uncomfortable for the human worker (for example: spray painting, spot welding, arc welding, and certain machine loading and unloading tasks),

3. the workpiece or tool are too heavy and difficult to handle,

4. the operation allows the robot to be used on two or three shifts.

Assembly operations have traditionally been performed manually, either at single assembly workstations or on assembly lines with multiple stations. Owing to the high labour content and high cost of manual labour, greater attention has been given in recent years to the use of automation for assembly work. Assembly operations can be automated using production line principles if the quantities are large, the product is small, and the design is simple (e.g., mechanical pencils, pens, and cigarette lighters). For products that do not satisfy these conditions, manual assembly is generally required.

Automated assembly machines have been developed that operate in a manner similar to machining transfer lines, with the difference being that assembly operations, instead of machining, are performed at the workstations. A typical assembly machine consists of several stations, each equipped with a supply of components and a mechanism for delivering the components into position for assembly. A workhead at each station performs the actual attachment of the component. Typical workheads include automatic screwdrivers, welding heads and other joining devices. A new component is added to the partially completed product at each workstation, thus building up the product gradually as it proceeds through the line. Assembly machines of this type are considered to be examples of fixed automation, because they are generally configured for a particular product made in high volume. Programmable assembly machines are represented by the component-insertion machines employed in the electronics industry.

Магний и его сплавы

Magnesium has a specific gravity of approximately 1.7; its alloys are the lightest of all engineering metals employed.

The melting point of magnesium is 650C; its boiling point is 107C. Magnesium is very inflammable and burns with a dazzling flame, developing a great deal of heat.

The mechanical properties of magnesium, especially the tensile strength, are very low and therefore pure magnesium is not employed in engineering.

The alloys of magnesium possess much better mechanical properties which ensure their wide application.

The principal alloying elements in magnesium alloys are aluminium, zinc and manganese. Aluminium, added in amounts up to 11 per cent, increases the hardness, tensile strength and fluidity of the alloy. Up to 2 per cent zinc is added to improve the ductility and castability. The addition of 0.1-0.5 per cent manganese raises the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys.

Small additions of cerium, zirconium and beryllium enable a fine-grained structure to be obtained, they also increase the ductility and oxidation resistance of the alloys at elevated temperatures.

Magnesium alloys are classified into two groups: (1) wrought alloys, (2) casting alloys.

Wrought magnesium alloys are chiefly used for hot smith and closed-die forged machine parts. They are less frequently used as sheets, tubing or bar stock.

Magnesium casting alloys are widely used as foundry material though their castability is inferior to that of aluminium-base alloys.

Алюминий и его сплавы

Aluminium is one of the lightest metals used for machine construction. It is commonly used alloyed with copper, silicon or magnesium, the world's lightest structural metal.

Intensive chemical research has created a large number of nonmetallic synthetic materials grouped under the general term of plastics, e. g. bakelite, plexiglass (органическое стекло), textile fibres (текстильные волокна), synthetic rubber (синтетический каучук) and several protective coatings.

Next to oxygen, aluminium is the most abundant element in nature: about 7.45 per cent of the earth's crust consists of aluminium.

Aluminium is extracted from rock with a high alumina content. The most important sources are bauxite, kaolin, nepheline and alunite.

Bauxite is the principal source of aluminium. The less silica in a bauxite the higher its quality as an aluminium ore. Kaolin clays (каолиновая глина) are very abundant in nature but the extraction of aluminium from these ores presents difficulties due to the considerable amount of silica present.

The most important properties of aluminium are its low specific gravity (2.7), high electrical and thermal conductivities, high ductility, and corrosion resistance in various media.

Pure aluminium has only few applications; it is used for the manufacture of electrical wire, chemical apparatus, household utensils and for coating other metals.

Aluminium alloys are more widely used in industry. Wrought aluminium alloys have a high mechanical strength which in some cases approaches the strength of steel. Wrought aluminium alloys also include complex alloys of aluminium, with copper, nickel, iron, silicon and other alloying elements. Complex wrought aluminium alloys of the duralumin (dural) type and certain others have found most extensive application in many industries.

Титан, никель и их сплавы

Titanium was first identified as a metallic element by Gregor in England in 1791. Several years later, Klaproth in Germany named the metal after the Titans of Greek mythology. Production of high-purity titanium, because of its having a strong tendency to react with oxygen and nitrogen, proved difficult, and it was not until the middle of the 20-th century (1938 – 1940) that a commercial process was developed. Titanium industry began to take form shortly after the end of World War II. Commercial interest was prompted by the relatively 1оw density of titanium (between those of aluminium and iron), its excellent corrosion resistance and its wide occurrence in mineral deposits.

Titanium ore deposits are of two types – one based on rutile and the other on ilmenite. Ilmenite is the chief titanium ore used in Russia. The estimated titanium content in the earth's minerals indicates that it is the fourth most abundant metal of commercial significance. Only aluminium, iron and magnesium are more abundant. However, despite the abundance of the metal, production of titanium is comparatively expensive because of the complexity of the reduction process.

Titanium and its alloys are used primarily because of their unique corrosion resistance and strength. The combination of high strength, stiffness, good toughness and low density at very low to moderately elevated temperatures allows weight savings in aerospace structures and other high-performance applications.

The first actual production application of titanium was in the aircraft industry. Now it is used in both commercial and military aircraft building – for airframes of jets, for compressor disks and blades of jet engines.

It is also used in the space industry. Titanium alloys are used in the chemical industry – for manufacturing heat exchangers, process tubing, reaction vessels, fittings, pump and valve components, and gas compressors.

Коррозия металлов и сплавов

Corrosion has a negative influence on the national economy of all countries. It can be compared to a natural disaster. In the industrialized countries direct and indirect losses from corrosion and the cost of protective measures make up about 10 per cent of the national income annually. Atmospheric corrosion known in everyday terms as rust was the least dangerous form. If 50 years ago due to the activity of atmospheric corrosion rust claimed around 1.5 – 1.8 per cent of the world steel output, today, as a result of the pollution of the atmosphere, the corrosion rate has become higher, and according to calculations made by experts, total losses from corrosion amount up to 20,000 tonnes per each million tonnes of metal (i.e. 2%). The corrosion of metals provides a major source of failure of metallic structures.

Corrosion may be defined as a gradual destruction of metals in the presence of aggressive media (environments). Air, water, especially sea water, different acids and alkalies, soil are considered to be aggressive media and cause corrosion.

The rate of corrosion depends on the following three factors: 1) the percentage of aggressive substances in the engineering material; 2) the percentage of aggressive substances in the surrounding medium. Such substances as moisture, oxygen, hydrogen, sulphur and others cause corrosion of metals and alloys; 3) the temperature of the surrounding medium – the higher the temperature, the higher the rate of corrosion.

There are different types of corrosion. Some of them are as follows:

1) uniform corrosion in which the whole surface of the metal is subjected to the action of corrosion with equal intensiveness;

2) localized corrosion in which only certain areas of the surface corrode;

3) selective corrosion in which separate structural parts of an alloy are attacked;

4) intercrystalline corrosion in which destruction occurs along the grain boundaries of the metal or alloy;

5) galvanic corrosion may be a problem when dissimilar metals are placed in contact with each other and are located in a corrosive environment. This problem should be carefully considered while designing and selecting materials. For example, being connected to steel brass may cause rapid corrosion of the steel, in the case of aluminium – steel rapid corrosion of aluminium may be caused.

From the mentioned above it is clear that corrosion involves great difficulties. There is an intensive growth of metals and alloys application in those industries in which machines are subjected to the aggressive action of the industrial environment – for instance, the chemical, petrochemical, pulp-and-paper and others. A nationwide programme of combating corrosion should bе developed in each country.

The programme includes the following principal corrosion protection methods:

1) developing technologies for alloying metals to obtain chemically inactive alloys;

2) forming oxide films which protect metals against further corrosion;

3) developing technologies to protect metals with the help of different coatings.

These methods include:

a. electroplating, i.e. applying protective metallic coatings, for example, nickel, chromium, tin on other metals;

b. applying coatings of paint or lacquer;

c. applying polymer and powder coatings;

4) electrochemical protection method, i.e. cathodic and anodic protection.

These measures are expected to result in a reduction of metal losses which in turn will lead to saving national riches.

Электрический ток

An electric circuit or network is a pathway through which the electric current can flow. A simple circuit consists of a power source, two conducting wires, each one attached to a terminal of the source and a device through which electricity can flow. This device is called a load and it's attached to the wires. If all the parts are properly connected, the current flows and the lamp lights up. This kind of circuit is called 'closed'. On the contrary, if the wires are disconnected the circuit is called 'open' or 'broken'. The circuit can be opened and closed by a device called a switch.

Loads can turn electrical energy into a more useful form. Some examples are:

• light bulbs, which change electrical energy into light energy;

• electric motors, which change electrical energy into mechanical energy;

• speakers, which change energy into sound.

The source provides the electrical energy used by the load. It can be a storage battery or a generator. The switch interrupts the current delivered to the load by the source and allows us to control the flow. When an abnormally high amount of current passes through a network, you get a short circuit. This may occur when there is a drop in the resistance or a broken insulation. In order to prevent short circuits, it is best to use fuses, which melt when too much current flows

through them, interrupting in this way the circuit.
