It has also found a variety of uses in automobile construction for exposed fittings, as it takes a high polish and is resistant to atmospheric tarnishing.
In an 1847 report on the quality of the recommended sandstone, geologist Dr. David Dale Owen stated that the Seneca sandstone is resistant to "atmospheric vicissitudes, (and) even the most severe mechanical wear and tear".
The final patina is a particularly durable layer that is highly resistant to atmospheric corrosion, thereby protecting the underlying metal against further weathering.
These MoS2/Ti coatings, known as MoST™ produced by closed field unbalanced magnetron sputtering, are harder, much more wear resistant and less sensitive to atmospheric water vapour.
As the spacecraft descended to Earth, travelling thousands of miles an hour, super-heated atmospheric gases rushed through the breach in the heat-resistant tiles.
He ponders how its family – a group of highly variable, fire-resistant, suckering species that developed ways of fixing atmospheric nitrogen 100m years before beans did – had outlived the dinosaurs, and whether this individual seed, endowed with who-knows-what genetic quirks, might make landfall on a distant island, find a partner and begin the evolution of a new species.
The monthly atmospheric total deposition/atmospheric fallout has been sampled using a weathering-resistant plastic tray (area = 4 m2) installed on a cottage roof in an open field of the MRI in Tsukuba, Ibaraki (36.1 °N, 140.1 °E; approximately 170 km southwest of the FDNPP) since the 1980s.
The wind structure of the atmospheric boundary layer has recently become a major concern in wind-resistant design of high-rise buildings.
In this study, plasma resistant dense Al2O3 film was formed on a silicon substrate through the atmospheric aerosol spray method (AAS).
In addition, zirconia samplers were highly resistant to heating and they could be used for multiple adsorption/desorption cycles avoiding degradation in the atmospheric air.
