Hot dip galvanizing and corrosion categories

In which corrosion categories could galvanized steel be used? This question is frequently asked, when corrosion protection only is specified to a certain corrosion category. Such a specification is not enough, since corrosion categories give quite wide ranges for the environmental exposure of the steel structure without specifying corrosion protection or life time. More information...

Flame retardant meterial

Flame retardants are compounds added to manufactured materials, such as plastics and textiles, and surface finishes and coatings that inhibit, suppress, or delay the production of flames to prevent the spread of fire. They may be mixed with the base material (additive flame retardants) or chemically bonded to it (reactive flame retardants. Mineral flame retardants are typically additive while...

Hot rolling & Cold rolling steel

Hot rolling is a metalworking process that occurs above the recrystallization temperature of the material. After the grains deform during processing, they recrystallize, which maintains an equiaxed microstructure and prevents the metal from work hardening. The starting material is usually large pieces of metal, like semi-finished casting products, such as slabs, blooms, and billets. If these...

EMC Environment

Assemblies can emit and the must be immune to external  electromagnetic disturbances. IEC defines two categories    a) Environment A - relates to low-voltage non-public or industrial  networks / locations / installations including highly disturbing sources.    b) Environment B - relates to low-voltage public networks such as  domestic...

Internal Arc inside Switchboard

Arc Proof metal-clad switchgear and controlgear is designed and manufactured to prevent the occurrence of internal faults. If the switchgear and controlgear is installed, operated and maintained following the instructions of the manufacturer, there should be little probability that an internal arc occurs during its entire service life, but it cannot be completely disregarded...

Current carrying capacity of busbars

The current-carrying capacity of a busbar is usually determined by the maximum temperature at which the bar is permitted to operate, as defined by national and international standards such as British Standard BS 159, American Standard ANSI C37.20, etc. These standards give maximum temperature rises as well as maximum ambient temperatures. BS 159 stipulates a maximum temperature rise of...
