MODELLING CREVICE COROSSION OF STAINLESS STEEL
ABSTRACT A common misconception about stainless steel is that it is not affected by corrosion. Although one of the main reasons why stainless steels are used is corrosion resistance, they do in fact suffer from certain types of corrosion in some environments and one of such types is crevice corrosion. Crevice corrosion is normally a consequence of a galvanic cell generated in specific areas with restricted flux. Crevice corrosion is a form of localized corrosion in which a metal in contact ...
MICROBIAL ANALYSIS OF TOAST BREAD
ABSTRACT Microbial analysis was carried out on six samples of toasted bread bought from three different kiosks in Unilorin walkway. The microbial population of each sample was determined and related to a variety of physiochemical parameters that could have contributed to their population. These parameters included the pH which varied from 5.37 – 5.54, the moisture content which varied from 10% – 30%. The bacteria counts ranged from 0.3 X 105 – 4.9 X 105 cfu/g while the fungal counts ran...
