Most borides are chemically inert in bulk form, which has led to industrial applications as engineering materials, principally at high temperature. The transition metal borides display a considerable resistance to oxidation in air. A few examples of applications are given here. Titanium and zirconium diborides, alone or in admixture with chromium diboride, can endure temperatures of 1500 to 1700 K without extensive attack. In this case, a surface layer of the parent oxides is formed at a relatively low temperature, which prevents further oxidation up to temperatures where the volatility of boron oxide becomes appreciable. In other cases the oxidation is retarded by the formation of some other type of protective layer, for instance, a chromium borate. This behavior is favorable and in contrast to that of the refractory carbides and nitrides, which form gaseous products (carbon oxides and nitrogen) in air at high temperatures. Boron carbide is less resistant to oxidation than the metallic borides. 

Cells are typically exposed to ambient PM (PMio, PM2.5, UF), diesel exhaust particles (DEP), or cigarette smoke using these exposure systems (MazzareUa et al. 2007 Fukano et al. 2006 Hetland et al. 2004 Li et al. 2002). Some smdies have used well-characterized standard reference materials (SRMs) from the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST 2009) and engineered nanoparticles, such as zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, in liquid medium (Li et al. 2003 Oberdorster 2001 Boland et al. 1999). Although standard or engineered materials are not true ambient PM, the materials are representative of ambient PM. These materials also elicit similar responses in cells to the ambient PM. The majority of the in vitro studies use doses in the range of 10-1000 pg/mL (PM mass/volume of the suspension solutions) with exposure durations of 2-72 h (Mitschik et al. 2008). 

Conventional materials become fatter when compressed and thinner when stretched. The ratio of transverse contraction to longimdinal extension strain in the direction of stretching force is known as the Poisson ratio (v). Most engineering materials have a V=0.3 (Kevlar=0.35, alumumm=0.32, and titanium=0.33), cork has v=0. In practice, this means that when you apply pressure to the top of a cork to squeeze it into the neck of a wine bottle, it demonstrates no dimensional change. When you try to do the same with a stopper made from synthetic mbber, the bottom expands and it is impossible to seal the bottle. 

Maintaining a safe and healthy workplace is more complex than it has ever been. New materials and new processes have created new problems. About 8,000 new chemical compounds are created each year. Production materials have become increasingly complex and exotic. Engineering materials now include carbon steels, stainless steels, cast irons, tungsten, molybdenum, titanium, aluminum, powdered metals, plastics, etc. Each of these metals requires its own specialized processes and has its own associated hazards. Nonmetals are more numerous and have also become more complex. Plastics, plastic alloys, and blends, advanced composites, fibrous materials, elastomers, and ceramics also bring their own potential hazards to the workplace.

As explained in Chap. 14, anodizing is a widely use technique to produce a protective inorganic coating of some engineering materials such as aluminum, magnesium, titanium and a few other metals and alloys by the application of an anodic potential that would be normally quite corrosive if it was not for the barrier created by the process itself. Of all metals that are routinely anodized, aluminum alloys are... 

Titanium Alloys is the resialt of an ambitious effort to provide comprehensive property data in electronic form for not only databases but also print products such as the Materials Properties Handbooks series. In this endeavor. Titanium Alloys represents a book-first approach devoted to comprehensive, alloy-specific compilations of properties and processing information on engineering materials. This work has produced a substantial amovmt of titaniiim property data in electronic form, and follow-up efforts will determine which of the information is suitable for more structured and searchable electronic formats such as MatDB. 

Because iron is used as a stabilizer in lieu of more expensive elements, alloy 62S has a lower formxxlation cost than most titanium alloys, yet the properties and processing characteristics of 62S are equivalent to or better than those of Ti-6A1-4V. The combination of reasonable cost and excellent mechanical properties makes 62S a practical substitute for other engineering materials in numerous industrial applications that require low weight and high corrosion resistance. The microstructu-ral response of 62S to heat treatment is quite similar to that of Ti-6A1-4V. Alloy 62S has a relatively high modulus-to-density ratio. 

Almost all types of engineering materials have been reported to experience MIC by SRB copper, nickel, zinc, aluminium, titanium and their alloys [96, 97, 98], mild steel [72, 99, 100], and stainless steels [68, 80, 101, 28] are just some examples. Among duplex stainless steels, SAF 2205 has been reported for its vulnerability to MIC [44, 102, 103]. According to these studies, SAF 2205 can corrode and have pitting initiated due to the presence of SRB after immersion in seawater for more than one year (18 months) [102]. Corrosion rates of lOmm/year [5] in oil treatment plants and 0.7 mm/year to 7.4mm ear due to the action of SRB and/or acid-producing bacteria in soil environments [8] have been reported. 

Coefficient of thermal expansion tailorabUity provides a way to minimize thermal stresses and distortions that often arise when dissimilar materials are joined. For example, the CTE of silicon carbide particle-reinforced aluminum depends on particle content. By varying the amount of reinforcement, it is possible to match the CTEs of a variety of key engineering materials, such as steel, titanium, and alumina (aluminum oxide). ... 

If one were to accept that the degradation of the metals is caused by oxidation from their neutral valence state, then the question remains as to why they exhibit this behaviour. The reason for this is the difference in the electrochemical potentials of the two species. Table 2.1 shows the electrochemical series for some common metals and the comparable electrochemical potential for oxygen and proton reduction. Notably, veiy few metals are inherently stable in their natural state, and indeed most engineering and construction materials are unstable. Interestingly, metals such as nickel, chromium and titanium, which are considered corrosion resistant, are veiy reactive. In principle, then, one would never expect to see any engineering material unless there was a method for its protection.
