Frictional force is the opposing force that is created between two surfaces that try to move in the same direction or that try to move in opposite directions. The main purpose of a frictional force is to create resistance to the motion of one surface over the other surface. The frictional force… View Full Term

Ferrous metals contain iron while non-ferrous metals do not. This minor difference, however, gives each type of metal distinct characteristics (magnetism, oxidation, tensile strength) that lend them to different applications.
Corrosion rate conversion is important when measuring the corrosion rate (the velocity at which metal is lost) of equipment or a metallic structure such as a bridge, pipeline, tank or pressure vessel to evaluating the structure’s condition.
