How difference of surface corrosion and pitting corrosion?

07-08-2023

Surface corrosion and pitting corrosion differ in the following ways: Surface Corrosion: Surface corrosion refers to the corrosion that occurs on the surface of a metal, where the metal surface is not deeply eroded or penetrated by corrosion to the extent that it becomes pitted or significantly damaged. Pitting Corrosion: Pitting corrosion is corrosion that develops on the metal surface over an extended period, causing the metal surface to be deeply eroded and penetrated into the metal substrate. This leads to significant damage to the metal, rendering it unsuitable for use. Corrosion Mechanism:When a metal undergoes oxidation or is subjected to reduction, the corrosion process takes place, resulting in the erosion of the metal. Therefore, the primary goal of corrosion prevention is to inhibit the occurrence of oxidation reactions. The most resistant metals to corrosion are those with the highest positive electrode potentials, such as gold. Platinum, silver, and red gold also possess good resistance to corrosion due to their relatively high positive electrode potentials. On the other hand, other metals are more susceptible to oxidation, meaning they are more likely to corrode easily. An example of a commonly encountered and distinct corrosion process is the formation of rust on iron or the creation of iron oxide. Iron corrodes when there is the presence of oxygen and water. The corrosion process of iron is relatively complex and has unique characteristics. However, it is believed to involve critical steps, including: 1. Oxidation reaction occurs at a specific area on the iron surface, acting as the anode. This can be represented by the equation: Fe(s) Fe2+(aq) + 2e-2. Oxygen is reduced at another area of the iron surface, acting as the cathode. In the presence of water, the equation becomes: 2O2(g) + 4H2O(l) + 8e- 8OH-(aq)3. A subsequent reaction involves the formation of iron hydroxide: 4Fe2+(aq) + 8OH-(aq) 4Fe(OH)2(aq) These steps contribute to the formation of iron oxide, commonly known as rust, and the overall corrosion process of iron. It's important to note that the corrosion mechanisms and reactions can vary based on the specific metal, environment, and conditions involved.

Construction Trends to Watch in 2025

16-12-2024

Construction Trends to Watch in 2025 Modern construction trends focus not only on developing advanced and robust structures but also on integrating clean and alternative energy sources to promote sustainability and reduce environmental impacts. These trends mark a significant step toward a sustainable future. Sustainable Construction The concept of sustainable construction is gaining significant traction in the construction industry as it aligns with ESG principles, emphasizing environmental impact reduction and efficient resource use. Examples include: Utilizing environmentally friendly construction materials. Implementing carbon-reduction techniques in construction processes. Managing waste effectively by sorting and recycling materials. This approach not only mitigates environmental impacts but also enhances resource efficiency, ensuring that modern structures meet current needs without depleting future resources. Digital Technology in Construction Digital technologies are transforming workflows in the construction industry, making them more efficient and sustainable. Examples include: IoT (Internet of Things): Real-time data collection devices for monitoring safety on construction sites. AI (Artificial Intelligence): Data analysis tools to optimize processes, such as safety risk assessments. BIM (Building Information Modeling): Enables precise structural designs and project management, minimizing material waste and construction errors. Other advanced technologies, such as drones for 3D site surveys and AR/VR for virtual design, reduce costs, improve safety, and facilitate accurate decision-making. Clean Energy The adoption of clean energy in construction is accelerating, particularly in large-scale projects aiming to minimize environmental impacts. Examples include: Solar Roofs: Lower energy costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Wind Energy: Harnessing wind power to decrease reliance on fossil fuel-based electricity. Using clean energy not only lessens environmental impacts but also reduces energy costs, creating sustainable structures to meet future needs efficiently. Prefabrication Prefabricated construction is another key trend. This involves designing and manufacturing components such as pre-made walls, floor panels, columns, and roofs in controlled factory environments before assembling them on-site. Prefabrication speeds up construction, reduces site complexities, and ensures quality. SIW’s Commitment to Construction Trends SIW prioritizes key construction trends, such as employing AI to enhance operational efficiency, utilizing clean energy like solar power, and supporting sustainable construction through recycled materials from EAF (Electric Arc Furnace) technology. SIW has also achieved Green Industry Level 4 certification and is working towards its Net Zero carbon emission goal by 2050, advancing sustainability in all dimensions of the construction industry.

How deep should the pile be drilled to ensure safety?

05-07-2023

How deep should the pile be drilled to ensure safety?Piles are an essential component used to support and transfer the weight and load of a building to the ground. The load transfer of a pile occurs through the frictional resistance between the pile surface and the surrounding soil or through direct load transfer to the underlying soil or bedrock. The main purpose of using piles is to prevent the building or structure from settling or sinking into the ground. For small-scale buildings, the piles used are generally shorter in length and fewer in number. However, larger buildings may require a greater number of piles or longer piles to transfer the load to deeper layers of soil and bear a higher load capacity. If the pile extends to the level of hard soil, it can directly transfer the load from the building to the hard soil layer. How do piles bear the load?Piles bear the load through two main types of forces: "skin friction" and "end bearing." 1. Skin Friction: This force is generated by the frictional resistance between the pile surface and the surrounding soil. The magnitude of this force depends on the type of soil (each soil type has different skin friction properties) and the characteristics of the pile surface. 2. End Bearing: This force occurs at the pile tip, where the pile rests on a firm soil layer. The magnitude of this force depends on the type of soil, such as the presence of voids between soil particles. Soils with more voids have a lower load-bearing capacity, while compacted sands have a higher load-bearing capacity. In general pile design, for skin friction piles, the focus is on the size and length of the pile to generate sufficient lateral friction to support the applied load. For end bearing piles, the design aims to have the pile sit on a compacted sand layer. Types of piles used in construction can be broadly categorized into three main types based on their manufacturing and usage characteristics: 1. Spun Piles: These piles are produced by spinning concrete in a mold at high speed. This process results in a dense and strong concrete core with embedded steel reinforcement. Spun piles can be driven or drilled and are suitable for high-rise buildings that require strength to withstand wind loads and earthquakes. 2. Bored Piles: Bored piles are constructed by drilling a hole and then placing steel reinforcement and concrete into the drilled hole. They come in various lengths and sizes as specified. Bored piles are suitable for projects that require high strength and load capacity. 3. Prestressed Concrete (PC) Piles: PC piles are manufactured by placing concrete into a mold that contains prestressed steel wires or strands. The concrete is then compressed to enhance its strength. PC piles are used in construction projects that require high strength and durability in various environmental conditions. Siam Wire Industries (SIW) offers PC Wire and PC Strand, which are the primary components used in the production of prestressed concrete piles. SIW has gained recognition in over 50 countries worldwide and provides post-sales services, including on-site wire pulling tests for customers.
