Unraveling the Mystery of Corrosion Control Treatments

Corrosion – the silent enemy of metal structures and equipment. It sneaks in unnoticed, gradually eating away at surfaces, compromising structural integrity, and causing costly damage. But fear not! With the right Corrosion Control Treatments, you can wage war against this formidable foe and protect your assets from its destructive grasp. Let's delve into the world of corrosion control treatments, exploring their importance, strategies, and the transformative impact they have on industries across the United States.

Understanding the Significance of Corrosion Control Treatments

Why are corrosion control treatments crucial for industrial assets? Imagine your metal equipment as knights in shining armor, vulnerable to the relentless assault of rust – corrosion control treatments act as their protective shield, preserving their strength and resilience against the ravages of time and the elements.

Preventing Structural Deterioration

Corrosion control treatments are not just about aesthetics; they're about preserving the structural integrity of metal assets. How do these treatments prevent deterioration? By forming a barrier that shields surfaces from moisture, oxygen, and corrosive agents, corrosion control treatments prevent the electrochemical reactions that lead to corrosion, ensuring that structures remain sound and functional for years to come.

Extending Service Life

Just as a well-maintained suit of armor can withstand the test of time, corrosion control treatments extend the service life of metal assets. How do they achieve this? By proactively addressing corrosion and preventing its spread, these treatments reduce the need for costly repairs and replacements, saving both time and money in the long run.

Strategies for Corrosion Control Treatments

Protective Coatings

Protective coatings are the frontline defense against corrosion, forming a durable barrier that shields metal surfaces from environmental exposure. What types of coatings are commonly used?

Epoxy Coatings: Known for their excellent adhesion and chemical resistance, epoxy coatings are ideal for protecting metal structures in harsh industrial environments.

Zinc-rich Primers: Zinc-rich primers provide sacrificial protection by corroding in place of the underlying metal, delaying the onset of corrosion and extending the lifespan of the coating system.

Polyurethane Coatings: Polyurethane coatings offer superior UV resistance and weatherability, making them suitable for outdoor applications where exposure to sunlight and moisture is a concern.

Cathodic Protection

Cathodic protection is another effective strategy for combating corrosion, particularly in buried or submerged metal structures. How does cathodic protection work? By introducing a sacrificial anode or impressed current system, cathodic protection creates a cathodic environment that inhibits corrosion, preserving the integrity of underground pipelines, storage tanks, and marine structures.

Benefits of Corrosion Control Treatments

Cost Savings

One of the primary benefits of corrosion control treatments is cost savings. How do these treatments save money? By preventing corrosion-related damage and the need for extensive repairs or replacements, corrosion control treatments help organizations minimize downtime, reduce maintenance costs, and prolong the lifespan of their assets.

Safety and Reliability

In addition to cost savings, corrosion control treatments enhance safety and reliability. How do they achieve this? By ensuring that metal structures and equipment remain structurally sound and free from corrosion-induced failures, these treatments minimize the risk of accidents, environmental contamination, and costly shutdowns, promoting a safer and more reliable operating environment.

Conclusion: Embracing the Power of Corrosion Control Treatments

Corrosion may be a formidable adversary, but with the right corrosion control treatments in place, you can protect your metal assets and ensure their longevity and performance. Whether it's applying protective coatings, implementing cathodic protection systems, or adopting other corrosion mitigation strategies, investing in corrosion control is an investment in the future resilience and reliability of your industrial infrastructure. So, don't wait for corrosion to strike – take proactive steps to safeguard your assets and keep them shining bright for years to come.

Reworked Character #6: Nadia Cassel

POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNING: Viewer discretion is advised due to references to death, neglect, abuse, kidnapping, stalking, and SA.

Real name: Nadège Véronique Comtois

Alias: Ravenous Chatterbox and Boffin That Flies High

Occupation: Private of the S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. and a tactical scientist for the Amadeus Syndicate (formerly)

Retirement plans: Become a professional forensic scientist, acquire a private jet, and establish an art studio and an ethical science lab

Special skills: Marksmanship, piloting, forensic science, knowledge of biological agents and toxins, and creating detailed, observational drawings of enemy positions and terrain

Imperfect clone abilities: At her own will, she can rapidly regenerate missing limbs and organs, minimising blood loss and restoring her body to its original form without the need for medical aid. Her blood possesses extraordinary healing properties, capable of instantly curing non-lethal ailments, skin punctures, and all manner of burns. When Nadia opens her mouth wide and flexibly shifts her upper and lower front teeth, she reveals four syringe-like fangs, which are neatly concealed within the hard palate. These fangs enable her to consume the blood of other living beings and replenish her own lost vital fluid.

Her body is resistant to all lethal toxins and pathogens. Moreover, she possesses incredible agility and can move at hyperspeeds. Notably, her pancreas, shielded by a thick layer of blubber, has the unique ability to produce a bile-infused silk. She utilises this silk to puke up robust, ensnaring nets that capture her victims and slowly burn them with its corrosive properties. Nadia’s hands feature reseda chartreuse eyes with feline pupils, granting her night vision, and her fingernails are entirely fleshy, concealing retractable claws made of an adamantine greenish-yellow material.

Hobbies: Painting landscapes, going on shopping sprees (she often buys gifts for her comrades and friends), reading books on anatomy, messing around with flight simulation software, and eating large quantities of food after each mission

Likes: Trevor, sweet and spicy foods, giving everyone nicknames, maintaining her figure, and the one time she accidentally ate a butterfly

Dislikes: Starvation, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), getting unnecessarily dirty, people telling her to “shut up”, and individuals that she views as scary and incapable of having fun (such as Tequila and Eri)

Favourite food: Coq au vin, phaal curry, and candy

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Gender: Female

Age: 12 (in 2022), 18 (in 2028), 20 (in 2030), 22 (in 2032), 24 (in 2034), 31 (in 2041), 33 (in 2043), 34 (in 2044), and 37 (in 2047)

Blood type: B+

Weight: 120 lbs. (54 kg)

Design: She’s a 5’ 4” (162.56 cm) French ectomorph with a gracefully thin body, small breasts, curvaceous hips, sloping shoulders, and a serpentine tongue covered in microscopic spikes. She has limestone skin and possesses feline-like pupils that transform into vertical slits only when she opens her mouth wide enough to reveal her concealed fangs. Her eyes are heterochromatic with her right eye being a warm amber, while her left eye is grey-green with brown flecks. Nadia has a few moles: one on the right side of her chin; one near the corner of her left eye; two above her left breast; one on the back of her right hand; and one slightly below her right knee.

She has raspberry hair with voluminous curls that reach her waist, but she often ties them into pigtails with stretchy reseda green hair bands. She has a silvery-pink birthmark on her left shoulder, almost shaped like a crescent moon with three protruding spikes. A large circular patch on her upper back is stripped of skin, exposing crimson muscles and purplish veins, and her greenish-yellow spine is partially protruding.

Her military gear consists of a metal dog tag necklace with her name, an avocado green tank top, and mid-calf socks with black and white zebra stripes. She wears Argentine blue neoprene gloves, reseda green leather belt, and a champagne-hued vest with the S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. insignia on the back. She wears navy blue army cargo pants tucked into twilight lavender combat boots with spiked soles. She also wears a dirty white lab coat, black knee pads, a case for her stun gun, and a gun holster for a handgun. Her vest has two hidden strapped compartments to hold up to two firearms when needed, but they’re often accompanied by a bonesaw and a 7.62mm AR-10 Autorifle.

The pockets of Nadia’s vest carry around a pocket knife, a sticky note pad, a red pin, a black cellphone with a metallic green case, a blue pin, and a bag of macadamia nuts. In the pockets of her lab coat, she carries an orange-and-white cat plushie with blue eyes and an emerald green tie named Melekhai (used for stress relief), along with a small box of frosted sugar cookies. She wears a forest green waist pack containing a bottle of laxatives and two blood packs for snacking. Attached to the left side of her belt is a square-shaped pouch with a clear plastic window, showcasing balls of bubblegum and lollipops in different colours inside. The pouch features an amaranth pink outline, feline ears with bluish-white fur, a pistachio-hued strap with a black button clasp, and a metallic silver zipper.

Over her tank top, she dons a Soldier Plate Carrier System (SPCS) with a MultiCam pattern, which carries around her walkie-talkie and ammo for other firearms. She wears two dark brown bandoliers that cross over her body in an X-shape, each holding grenades. Nadia carries around a navy blue load-bearing backpack that contains camping equipment, portable ammo boxes, a canteen full of water, greenish-black gas masks for her teammates in need of one, a medical kit, and liquid and pill bottles of cures and deadly chemicals. She also carries around a painting kit, her mint green sketchbook with bubblegum pink polka dots, and a set of drawing pencils with two erasers and a sharpener.

She also wields a specialised rifle that fires needles containing transformative liquids, capable of altering humans into simian or mantis creatures. Additionally, she carries purplish rolling bombs that contain mummifying breath and throwable canisters filled with a zombie-inducing orangish phlegm that explodes upon impact. She wears safety goggles, star-shaped lavender spinel earrings that dangle from her ears, and a non-dangling peridot belly ring piercing.

Personality: She boasts swift wit and inventive verbal humour, often outsmarting her foes with clever sabotage tactics. Despite being a childish, happy-go-lucky, and sassy goofball, she has a surprisingly intelligent and cynical side, but she loves to indulge her silly and jubilant nature. Due to her fondness for her exceptional intellect, she sometimes perceives other people as “intellectually inferior” to herself. She conceals her bitterness and wariness of strangers behind a facade of playful teasing, mischievous pranks, sarcastic remarks, and a charming smile. She cherishes her friendship with Trevor, who is her first true best friend. She appreciates his laid-back nature and ability to understand her effortlessly. Over time, she has developed subtle romantic feelings for him, largely due to his hacking expertise and the enjoyable quality time they share. However, she has become adept at concealing these emotions.

She demonstrates her loyalty to her friends by nurturing their relationships and showing platonic affection, often showering them with hugs and kisses. She's a fearless advocate for herself and others, refusing to tolerate bullying or any form of mistreatment, and will boldly speak out against it. She has a fondness for assigning nicknames to those around her, including friends and foes alike. For instance, she has nicknamed Marco as "Markie", Tarma as "Tarms", Eri as "Rie", Fio as "Fifi", Trevor as "Trevie", Ralf as "Ralfeezy", Clark as "Clarkster", Hyakutaro as "Hyaro", Tequila as "Tequi", Gimlet as "Gimbo", Red Eye as "Dey-Dey", Walter as “Walty”, Tyra as “Rara”, Madoka as “Doka”, General Morden as "Mordy", Allen O'Neil as "Allio", and Ptolemaios as "Ptolema".

She's a friendly, humorous, and talkative busybody with a passion for creative expression and thrill-seeking adventures, which give her a taste of what it truly means to live. Despite efforts to maintain her supermodel figure, she has developed mild bulimia nervosa; while trying to resist the urge, she sometimes purges after eating. Additionally, she struggles with obsessive-compulsive disorder, manifesting as a fear of contamination, anxiety about misplacing valuable items, and a need for order and balance. She also experiences distressing thoughts, including fears of losing control, harming loved ones, and intrusive thoughts about sexual subjects. Whenever she hears about child abuse or unethical experiments, she becomes visibly shaken, her mind goes numb, and she withdraws socially for a few hours, succumbing to a melancholic state.

She takes a disturbing pleasure in obliterating her enemies, often letting out a maniacal laugh as she does so. Outside of military work, she often dodges unwanted tasks by concocting elaborate schemes (frequently with Trevor's help) to avoid them. However, her plans often backfire, resulting in trouble for neglecting her duties. Moreover, she has a tendency to slack off during missions, especially when she becomes bored and her attention wanders to more exciting things. When she gets into trouble, especially when it involves people she has convinced to join her antics, she often tries to deflect responsibility by feigning innocence and shifting the blame onto others.

She possesses a fairly compassionate, laid-back disposition, which she only reveals to those closest to her. She's overconfident about her looks and seems unfazed by how people react to her inhuman features, yet she draws the line at absurd and unattainable beauty standards. She's deadly serious when needed and isn't afraid to intimidate people or berate individuals for doing something irrational or dangerous. She has a strong disdain for individuals who exhibit predatory behaviour, such as perverts and stalkers, and is unafraid to call them out and mock their actions mercilessly. She despises unnecessary secrecy and eugenics, opposing the lack of transparency and the racist underpinnings of genetic manipulation aimed at "improving" human populations.

She's quite gluttonous and becomes quickly hangry when she's extremely hungry and there's nothing to eat at the moment. She's an eavesdropper with a curious habit of inspecting, poking, probing, and even biting anything that piques her interest. She grapples with touch starvation, feeling emotionally isolated from others, and deeply dislikes being overlooked or ignored by those around her. She harbours intense resentment towards her mother due to her neglectful behaviour and excessive focus on satisfying scientific curiosity, which comes at the expense of considering others' needs and forming meaningful connections with them. She’s appalled by her mother's callous disregard for the pain she inflicts on others as well as the secrecy surrounding their family's lineage and her status as an imperfect clone.

Backstory: Nadège Véronique Comtois was born on August 6, 2010 in Quimper, France. She was created in a test tube through advanced Martian cloning technology and the DNA of Ghyslaine Laëtitia Comtois, her clone mother and founder of the Amadeus Syndicate, in an underground laboratory. Initially, Ghyslaine's interest in Nadège was rooted in scientific curiosity. She conducted psychological and sociological experiments to explore the similarities and differences between them. Ghyslaine would overfeed Nadège, only to discover that her daughter had an abnormal metabolism, making it challenging for her to gain weight. Unintentionally, Ghyslaine fueled Nadège's affection for junk food. At age 7, Ghyslaine subjected Nadège to a disturbing and unethical experiment, forcibly inducing puberty and sterilising her daughter as part of a eugenics test. During this period, Nadège longed to experience the outside world and connect with her clone mother. Unfortunately, Ghyslaine's focus on research led her to neglect Nadège’s emotional needs. She treated her more like a guinea pig than a human being, providing minimal motherly comfort and attention.

At the age of 9, Ghyslaine decided it was time for Nadège to explore the outside world, which filled her clone daughter with excitement. Together, Nadège experienced her first-ever outing to a shopping district and explored several notable attractions in Quimper, including the Breton County Museum, the Fine Arts Museum, and the Faience Museum. This experience sparked Nadia's curiosity in modelling and the creative arts.

However, her mother had other plans. Ghyslaine envisioned Nadège following in her footsteps as a renowned scientist and eventual heir to the Amadeus Syndicate. To nurture this ambition, Ghyslaine frequently presented Nadège with books on biology and chemistry, encouraging her to delve into the sciences. She encouraged Nadège to cover the unusual features on her palms and upper back by wearing neoprene gloves and modest clothing in order to avoid drawing unnecessary attention or judgement from others.

By the age of 11, Nadège had become proficient in biology and chemistry, thanks to her mother's guidance. She began attending school after being previously homeschooled by Ghyslaine and other Amadeus Syndicate scientists. Although her school years were uneventful, Nadia occasionally faced bullying due to her intense interests in science, modelling, and the creative arts, as well as her unusual habit of wearing neoprene gloves to conceal her hand-eyes.

However, the bullying ceased after rumours circulated that she had intimidated and bitten a school bully by revealing her hidden snake fangs—a claim that was surprisingly true. Nadège’s clone mother was indifferent to her academic pursuits but drew a firm line at harming others and divulging confidential information about the Amadeus Syndicate. When Ghyslaine learned about this incident, she smacked her in the face, then confined her to a padded room with two blood bags and a fresh corpse for three hours. As dinnertime approached, Nadège's hunger grew, leading her to make the desperate decision to consume the contents of the blood bags and feed on the fresh corpse.

During her high school years, Nadège frequently skipped classes to go shopping, feeling that she already possessed a strong grasp of the material being taught in her courses. To avoid arousing suspicion about her exceptional intelligence, she intentionally performed poorly on a few tests. During this time, she experienced significant weight gain, which unfortunately led to bullying and negative comments about her appearance. However, she handled the situation with confidence and resilience, effectively standing up for herself and dismissing the hurtful remarks. After completing high school, she promptly enrolled in a two-year college art program, specialising in landscape drawing for animation studios, before pursuing forensic science at the university level.

During her forensic studies at university, Nadège unexpectedly became an e-celeb supermodel who goes by the name of Nadia Cassel, doing so for the sheer enjoyment of it. Although her rise to fame was modest at best, she didn't mind, as she revelled in the opportunity to be herself and try something new. She formed a close bond with a fan from Launceston, Tasmania, Australia, Ophelia Clementine Rourke (whom she affectionately calls Ophie), who would later become a fighter plane pilot in the Regular Army.

However, as her fame as an e-celeb supermodel grew, she started to attract unwanted attention from predatory individuals, which caused her significant distress. Her situation intensified when she inadvertently revealed her hand-eyes during a livestream, leading to an escalation of online harassment. After a deranged fan attempted to kidnap and sexually assault her, she empowered herself by obtaining a gun licence and rigorously training to use a firearm, becoming a skilled markswoman.

The stress of her forensic studies and the pressures of being a supermodel took a toll on Nadia's mental health, leading to the development of OCD and bulimia nervosa. Her struggles with maintaining a strict diet, keeping her model-worthy figure, and need for control became overwhelming. Eventually, Nadège made the decision to quit modelling, as her mental health issues began to impact her studies. However, she kept the name of her e-celeb persona because she liked it. In a disturbing incident, she recalls defending herself against a stalker who attempted to assault and cannibalise her in her own home. The attack led to her involuntarily consuming the stalker's blood, unleashing a sadistic streak she never knew she had.

Once her forensic studies were completed, Nadia decided to pursue her pilot's licence, convinced by Ophie to join the tactical efforts of the Regular Army. After obtaining her licence and receiving military training, Ghyslaine permitted Nadia to join the Amadeus Syndicate as a tactical scientist. She proved to be highly successful, making a name for herself as she pushed the boundaries of scientific understanding in biology and chemistry. Nadia supplied the Regular Army with stable bioweapons, gas masks, and advocated for training recruits on the dangers of biological hazards. During a joint tactical mission with the Amadeus Syndicate and Regular Army against a bioterrorist attack, Nadia met Trevor and quickly formed a friendship with him. 

While searching Ghyslaine's office for documents for a chemical experiment, she stumbled upon classified test results revealing her true nature: an imperfect clone. The discovery shook her to her core. Further investigation led her to her clone mother's journal, exposing a dark family legacy of illicit collaborations with government agencies, inhumane wildlife experimentation, and development of devastating bioweapons and malicious computer viruses. Most alarming, however, was Ghyslaine's megalomaniacal plan for global domination and self-deification. Horrified, she contemplated abandoning the Syndicate, yet for mysterious reasons, she chose to stay.

During her work on a disease cure in South Africa, Nadia uncovered disturbing information: Ghyslaine sexually assaulted Marco, who was injured at the time. This traumatic event had far-reaching consequences, severely straining relations between the Regular Army and the Amadeus Syndicate. Horrified by Ghyslaine's actions, she defected to the Regular Army, dedicating herself to defending Earth against global threats. She vaguely recalls attempting to poison Ghyslaine by lacing her bitter coffee with powdered cyanide, but the plan backfired when another scientist accidentally drank from the cup instead.

She eventually joined the S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. after befriending Fio and earning a sliver of respect from Eri. This was due to her impressive performance as a prospective agent, where she swiftly identified the chemical composition of a new illicit drug that had been baffling the Intelligence Agency. She achieved this by obtaining crucial documents and conducting rigorous, ethical experiments. Following the Survival Island Occupation, she provided crucial assistance to the hostages and kidnapped cadets who had been transformed into grotesque simian and mantis creatures, administering cures that successfully restored them to their human form.

Subject Classification: M-08-035

Damage Type: Null ⚪️

Danger Level: HELFER 🔵

Anomaly Type: Mineral

Discovery Classification: Expedition (08)

Department: MOTHRA Storage Facilities

Lead Researcher: Dr. Ironclad

Identification: Titanic Metal

Containment: ANM-035 bars are stored in different warehouses of the MOTHRA Institution. The "containment" must have a temperature regulator where the ambient temperature must remain at 22°C, never exceeding 120°C. If this happens, the emergency alarm should be activated immediately.

Titanic metal bars can be used to build secure cells for complex anomalies, materials or weapons, protective gear, and other related uses advantageous to MOTHRA.

Description: As of the writing of this file, ANM-035 is a set of 800 bars of a type of metal nicknamed "Titanic Metal." While its original color was white, it was observed that the metal bars could change to blue over time, a process similar to copper, which also makes the ore even more resistant.

The ANM-035 bars are extremely durable, being 60 times stronger than common metal, 49 times more resistant than tungsten, and 20 times more resistant than graphene. Upon further analysis, a significant mix of graphene atoms and hexagonal boron nitride was detected in the metal.

Regarding its durability, some tests were conducted:

Over 100 strikes with a machete were made against the bar, resulting in no scratches.

Some shots were fired at the bar, but the test was quickly canceled when it was noticed that the bullets ricocheted back.

ANM-014 attempted to break the bar but, after several strikes, complained that his "hand hurt." (ANM-014 typically manages to break titanium bars in half.)

ANM-035 was dropped from an airplane at an altitude of 12,000 meters, and the bar suffered no damage, though the surrounding environment did sustain significant damage.

ANM-032 was set to try piercing the bar with its beak. The instance failed to do so.

Multiple RPG shots followed by explosions were tested, but the bar remained unaffected.

A tank rolled over the bar several times, but nothing happened to it.

Finally, it was discovered that if ANM-035 is exposed to a temperature above 70°C, the ore tends to melt into an extremely corrosive and radioactive liquid.

ANM-035 can be used to create more powerful tools, utensils, and weapons (only melee weapons). A shield made from ANM-035 was built and is completely bulletproof and resistant to various other blows or attacks. Additionally, armor was constructed, and together with the shield, they are capable of repelling numerous attacks, including pecks from ANM-032 or attacks from humanoid ANMs.

The bars typically measure 55cm in length and 25cm in height, weighing approximately 500kg. All were found in a military bunker dating back to World War II in the USA.

I made fanart for one of my favorite kids' books, "The Great Undersea Search" by Kate Needham. It was published back in 95 and it is just terrific.

(the shark, dive cage, and part of the background are clipped from the book)

☆-----☆-----☆

I love the retro late-20th century ocean exploration aesthetic.

Fishing nets and sample jars full of noxious preservatives and well-used knives and improvised tools

Cargo pants and swimtrunks and work shirts and stretched tank tops and flip flops and blown-out sneakers and sweaty, salt-encrusted trucker and bucket hats and the worst tanlines you've ever seen. The kind of stuff "Wandering Island" characters can be seen wearing.

Bathyscaphes and DSVs and bubble windows and ROV arms

yellow and white and blue and red and green and black and exposed corrosion-resistant metals and the rust that gathers on them anyways

Stuff like this book and the old Lego diver sets from the 90s and the little VHS clips of Jacques Costeau they showed in your classroom, too.

I can see myself on a scientific expedition in the open ocean, eating simple shipboard meals of rice and fish and whatever fruit and vegetables we can scrounge. A worn P38 can opener and a dogeared copy of "Log from the Sea of Cortez" are my constant companions. My cargo pants become increasingly bedraggled and cuffed, and my t-shirts are covered in odd stains. We bring up lanternsharks and daggertooths in the nets. This one has only been recorded once by a Russian scientist almost 25 years ago, but he was wrong about certain elements of its anatomy. Eat your heart out, Dolganov. The non-scientific crew do not understand our hesitancy to trawl the seafloor.

ANATOMICAE

This post is supposed to be a (hopefully) thorough breakdown of the physiology and anatomy of segments and a primer for their general functions. Not required reading, but I thought it would be interesting to record my headcanons and theoretical biology ramblings somewhere for easy reference. And besides, reading through is likely easier than taking one of them apart yourself. The contents here will potentially be updated or edited as new ideas come to mind.

I. INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM

The integument, in this case, refers to the skin, hair, and nails, and the structures associated with them. Segments do (perhaps surprisingly) have “real” genuine human skin, hair, etc. It is derived from a human source, but not anyone unwilling. The organic components of all segments are directly cultivated from the original Dottore’s various “donations” and therefore at a base level all share the same default genetic profile. This results in them, for the most part, having the same phenotype (skin/hair color, eye color, etc.), barring any mutations or epigenetic changes while growing (or any bodily modifications made later).

For context, when speaking about parts being grown vs built, some of their organic parts are cultured separately in tanks (think of an oversized specimen jar) as a unit, whereas others are grown on top of their skeletal frame (which we will be addressing shortly) in their own independent holding tank.

Much like humans, the nature of their skin results in the same sorts of properties and identifying features: scars, birthmarks, freckles, moles, etc. Scarring is rarer due to the usage of panacea for more detrimental injuries when available, but more minor (and perhaps major) wounds can leave behind scars if allowed to heal normally. Without any additional help, they heal at about the same rate as an ordinary human being. 

II. SKELETAL SYSTEM

The skeleton of segments is made of metal, or more specifically titanium. Because of this, it is extremely sturdy, and resistant to corrosion and chemical interference. Basically as strong as some steels but less dense and therefore less heavy. It’s very hard to break their bones, so adjustments for intentional access exist (for example, a locking hinge system on the ribcage so it can be opened). Going for the joints is the most easily accessible option for dismemberment or dismantling.

Speaking of the joints, they are shaped and perform about how you would expect human ones to do so. However, an important caveat is the existence of powered systems to exert more force, independent of muscle involvement. Smaller joints have “electric” (loosely) actuators, converting energy from stored panacea into movement. Larger joints associated with carrying more weight have hydraulic actuators. The hydraulic fluid used to power those motors (and other fluidic systems) will be covered in the circulatory section. 

III. MUSCULAR SYSTEM

Normal muscles here, folks. Sorry to disappoint. Nothing particularly special, because like the skin, they’re grown from existing cells. The key point is that they handle all lesser or more delicate motions in the usual manner (muscles moving skeleton), but if more intense force is required, they can switch to relying on the actuators in the skeleton, which results in it moving on its own and pulling around the muscles instead. Most of a segment’s strength is reliant on the skeleton rather than their muscle mass. 

IV. CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM & CIRCULATORY SYSTEMS

The heart is one of the organs that has a mechanical replacement, and is arguably the most important one. Quite a few things need to be pushed around the body, so an organ that could both handle the strain and exert the requisite power was required. It is located where one would typically expect a heart to be, and acts in association with the lungs.

Segments have a synthetic blood replacement, which works similarly to human blood in the sense that it carries out essential processes (moving nutrients and oxygen, removal of metabolic waste products) throughout biological portions of the body. Visually, it looks quite similar to normal human blood, being red in color, but an observant individual might notice it looks particularly dark, even before it dries. The shade is a very deep red, almost approaching black, and upon drying it turns fully black, rather than rusty red or brown. It coagulates somewhat faster than human blood, but not anything too dramatic. Since they don’t have bone marrow, they don’t produce blood cells naturally. Instead, they have an accessory organ that manufactures the blood and replenishes their system when they are running low. This blood organ (if we wanted to call it that) is somewhere in the abdominal cavity.

Outside arteries, veins, and capillaries, they also have very fine tubing for carrying other materials around the body, like hydraulic fluid or panacea. These can easily be differentiated by the differing colors of the contents and the fact that they are more heavily concentrated around mechanical features of their anatomy. 

Since having hydraulics means there has to be a reservoir and pump for that as well. The main pump is attached to the heart. It is part of a closed system, only handling hydraulic fluid rather than interacting with the usual heart functions. It pumps fluid independently of the heart beating. The hydraulic fluid reservoir, meanwhile, is located near the liver. 

V. RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

Two lungs, one on each side of the heart. For completely sensible reasons, the segments do actually have to breathe. That is mainly a side effect of their partly organic nature, but also does a lot of work to make them appear a bit more convincingly “human”. The lungs are enclosed by the pulmonary pleurae. 

VI. NERVOUS SYSTEM

They have a human brain stored inside the skull (where it is supposed to be). Don’t ask how he pulled it off, but Dottore somehow managed to copy his brain, in detail, without destroying it entirely. Since all the structures are identical, the segments share the memories of the original, up until the moment their brains were “finished”. Because of that, their individual paths (and the connections their neurons made) began to diverge from the template when they became conscious and started existing independently. 

Most nervous structures are matched or equivalent to the human body simply because of their inclination to grow in that way, but there are also sections where they blend into wiring and vice versa to make sure that signals are shared appropriately. The spinal cord is enclosed inside the spinal column, and still serves as a connection between the central and peripheral nervous systems. 

Internally, some areas and systems are less innervated than others, in order to minimize pain and discomfort during typical (or extracurricular) investigative procedures and maintenance. Their skin and underlying layers of muscle and fascia are perfectly capable of feeling pain as deeply as any other person. The exterior of organs, however, tends to feel sensation more neutrally, rather than indicating visceral pain. 

VII. OTHER ORGANS

Included in the “basic organ systems” package is a digestive tract, albeit slightly more efficient than normal. They don’t need to eat as much/often as an average human in the same height/weight range. Nutrients derived from food contribute to keeping all the organic parts going, but considering how much is mechanical, they could likely remain functional for a decent amount of time before expiring from starvation. Abdominal organs are enclosed in the peritoneum (a membrane that forms the lining of the abdominal cavity) as would be typical in a human. Filtering/processing organs like the liver and kidneys are mechanical.

While they have secondary sex characteristics (that affect appearance and external traits), they don’t have internal reproductive organs. How they present, and what that even means is dependent on the segment.

Teeth/gums/tongue/other mouth stuff are natural(ish). The core of the teeth and the part that’s attached to the skull is all metal, but they have enamel on top to correct the appearance. This means they have a powerful bite strength. Use this information responsibly.

Additional body modification is typical among segments, and not frowned upon so long as they don’t physically alter the brain or certain other components. They have a tracking chip located somewhere, and that may or may not also function as a self-destruct switch. They specifically aren’t allowed to mess with that. Some segments are more interested in becoming more mechanical than others, or trying out other additions. Epsilon himself is extremely close to the “base” default build. 

Mechanical organs usually have a small glowing piece somewhere on them to indicate how much energy they have in reserve. Think of it as a bit like a rectangular HP bar. Full is optimal. The shorter the glowing section gets, the closer they are to needing a recharge (or more specifically, a panacea refill).

They do have immune systems (but don’t ask how that works). They’re very carefully calibrated to be strong without being too eager in attacking parts of themselves. So they can get sick, but unless it's something very virulent, they'll likely clear it. There is also the possibility that their bodies might occasionally sequester particularly resilient invading organisms and end up carrying them latently.

Segments don't age, exactly. They shed and replace cells, but their telomeres are modified in such a way that they appear to exist indefinitely as the same age they were "born" as. 

As a side effect of having a human brain, they also have to sleep. They should probably get as much as any other person, but that is extremely unlikely.

Quirk: Cape

This mutant quirk spawns a cape-like hide (which is a lighter shade of the user's skin color) from the user's shoulders, which covers their back and reach down near the user's feet. The cape acts as a resistant yet tearable shield and a makeshift glider, which gives the user situational defense and mobility. The user can manipulate the cape like an extra limb if attached and change its width, reaching down towards the user's wrists and its length up to 6 ft extra, similar to Ojiro's tail and Shoji's Dupli-arms. They can also manipulate its durability by making it flexible or stiff, making it easy to tear off the cape for strategic purposes while also doubling as a shield strong enough to tank high-speed projectiles, which it will suffer dents and scars from. Its capabilities allow the user to fend off opponents with defensive strategy while using it as a makeshift weapon if need be. However, it also has weaknesses, such as being only limited to defense and mobility, not having the capability to nullify explosive forces and corrosive elements when hit as a shield, and causing painful reactions to the user when torn off since it is attached to their skin, similar to pulling out hair or scabs. Overall, it is a basic quirk that allows its user to defend themselves and become better at wielding cape through training.

I think that a lot of this could work, but it could use some changes. I may just make it a regular cloak they create from their back. I'm certain that running around in a skin cloak would be bad for optics. That aside, the biggest issue is with the balance. All the applications of the Quirk are fine and make sense, but the downsides are too much relative to the power that the Quirk offers. The user can feel pain through it, it's limited in application and range, and it's weak to certain kinds of attacks, and the numerous tactical issues with having a cape. These all work for this kind of power, but they don't all work together. I think it'd work better if you expanded on the applications some more or if you removed some of the downsides. Preferably a bit of both. I would remove the pain downsides, as that kind of defeats the purpose of using it as a shield. Having it be a more minor issue, like the cape getting caught or grabbed by people, would fit a lot better with everything else. Maybe you could expand the range of it, either through removing it or giving the user the ability to grow it out, or they have such fine control over it they can use it on reaction, improving on the traits you already mentioned. Maybe try taking ques from characters like Doctor Strange and Spawn with their own cloaks.

How Pipe Material Impacts the Efficiency of Your Solar System

As solar energy becomes increasingly popular, more households and industries are adopting solar systems as an efficient, sustainable source of power.  While the focus is often on solar panels and inverters, one often-overlooked component in the system is the pipe material used to transport heat in solar thermal systems.  The right pipes for solar system works can greatly impact the overall efficiency, longevity, and performance of the system.  For this reason, choosing the right piping is essential to maximizing your solar system’s potential.

In this blog, we will explore how the selection of pipe materials affects the efficiency of solar systems, the available options, and the importance of working with reliable pipes for solar system works distributors in Vadodara and pipes for solar system works distributors in Gujarat.

The Role of Pipes in Solar Systems

Solar systems are commonly divided into two types: photovoltaic (PV) systems and solar thermal systems.  Photovoltaic systems convert sunlight directly into electricity, while solar thermal systems capture heat from the sun to warm water or air for domestic or industrial use.  Pipes are essential in solar thermal systems, as they transport the heated fluid (usually water or antifreeze) from the solar collectors to storage tanks or directly to the point of use.

The performance of a solar thermal system heavily depends on the pipes' material.  Poor-quality pipes can lead to energy losses, increased wear and tear, and potential leaks, which reduces the system's overall efficiency.  On the other hand, selecting the right pipes can enhance heat transfer, reduce energy losses, and ensure the system operates effectively over time.

Importance of Pipe Material in Solar Systems

The selection of the right pipe material is crucial in a solar thermal system because of the high temperatures and pressures involved.  Pipes need to be durable, resistant to corrosion, and able to handle extreme conditions.  Here are some key factors to consider when choosing pipe materials for solar systems:

Thermal Conductivity:  Pipes with good thermal conductivity will efficiently transfer heat from the solar collector to the storage tank, reducing energy losses along the way.  Materials like copper and stainless steel are highly conductive, making them ideal for solar systems.

Temperature Resistance:  Solar systems often operate at high temperatures, especially in regions with abundant sunlight.  The pipes must be able to withstand these temperatures without degrading or losing efficiency.

Corrosion Resistance:  Since the pipes in solar systems are exposed to both heat and moisture, they need to be resistant to corrosion.  Corrosion can lead to leaks and system failures, so using corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel or specialized polymers is essential.

Pressure Resistance:  The pipes in solar systems are subjected to constant pressure due to the circulation of fluid.  Materials like copper, stainless steel, and high-quality polymers are able to maintain their integrity under pressure, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Durability and Longevity:  Solar systems are designed to last for 20 to 25 years or more.  The pipes must be durable enough to withstand the rigors of time, environmental conditions, and wear and tear, ensuring the system remains functional throughout its lifespan.

Copper is one of the most popular pipe materials used in solar thermal systems, especially for domestic hot water applications.  It has excellent thermal conductivity, making it efficient in transferring heat from the solar collectors to the storage tank.  Copper is also highly resistant to corrosion, which ensures a longer lifespan for the pipes.  Additionally, copper pipes can withstand high temperatures and pressure, making them ideal for solar systems.

However, copper can be expensive compared to other materials.  It is also susceptible to theft, so additional precautions may need to be taken in certain locations.

2.   Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is another common choice for solar system pipes due to its high resistance to corrosion, excellent thermal conductivity, and ability to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures.  Stainless steel is particularly well-suited for larger solar thermal systems used in commercial or industrial settings, as it can handle the demands of heavy-duty applications.

While stainless steel pipes are more expensive than some other materials, they offer exceptional durability and longevity, making them a cost-effective choice over the system’s lifespan.

3.   PEX (Cross-Linked Polyethylene)

PEX pipes are made from a type of plastic that is flexible, durable, and resistant to corrosion.  PEX is often used in solar thermal systems for domestic hot water applications due to its lower cost and ease of installation.  PEX pipes are particularly useful in systems where the fluid temperature is moderate, as they can withstand temperatures up to 200°F (93°C).

However, PEX is not suitable for high-temperature or high-pressure solar systems.  It is best used in smaller residential applications where the conditions are less extreme.

4.   Polypropylene (PP)

Polypropylene pipes are increasingly being used in solar systems due to their excellent resistance to high temperatures, UV radiation, and corrosion.  They are particularly well-suited for large-scale solar thermal systems and solar district heating systems.  PP pipes are lightweight, easy to install, and can handle temperatures up to 248°F (120°C).

One of the main advantages of PP pipes is their environmental friendliness.  They are fully recyclable and have a low carbon footprint, making them an excellent choice for sustainable energy systems.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Distributor

Selecting the right pipe material is only part of the equation.  Working with a reputable pipes for solar system works distributor in Vadodara or pipes for solar system works distributor in Gujarat is equally important to ensure you receive high-quality products that meet your system's specifications.

Here is why partnering with the right distributor is crucial:

A distinguishing feature of the marine environment is the universally present high salt content in the air and seawater which acts as a catalyst for the corrosion of offshore structures, such as offshore oil rigs, Intake Pump Houses in Thermal Power Plants Handling Sea Water. Corrosion damage in these environments is also influenced by the presence of other chemicals and various pollutants in the seawater, air and ports and many other areas. The corrosive forces inherent in marine environments pose significant threats to the integrity and longevity of metal structures. In this technical blog, we explore the complexities of corrosion, its detrimental effects, and the imperative role of corrosion protection strategies using Kirloskar Corrocoat in safeguarding marine assets.

Understanding Corrosion:

corrosion refers to the natural process of deterioration that occurs when metallic structures, components, or equipment are exposed to the harsh conditions prevalent in marine environments. This deterioration is primarily driven by electrochemical reactions between the metal and its surroundings, which typically consist of high levels of salt, moisture, and other corrosive agents present in seawater and marine atmospheres.

The Significance of Corrosion Protection in the Marine Industry:

The harsh conditions prevalent in marine environments make ships and metallic infrastructure susceptible to corrosion. Left unchecked, corrosion can compromise the structural integrity of vessels and structures, posing safety hazards and necessitating costly repairs. Mild steel, commonly used in marine construction for its affordability and strength, is particularly prone to corrosion, making corrosion protection imperative for the longevity of marine assets.

Protective Measures:

Manufacturers and operators within the industry take various precautions to protect their assets such as vessels and offshore structures from corroding. We will explore some of the standard methods utilised to protect metallic structures in the marine environment.

1) Design

Ship and infrastructure designers and operators make an effort to reduce corrosion and keep them secure, which aids in extending the lifespan of the structure or vessel. A few design features can assist in reducing the rate of corrosion and in turn reducing the required maintenance costs, including:

The placement of drains aids in the draining of water from decks, wells and low-lying areas. This eliminates a direct cause of corrosive activity.

In an effort to reduce galvanic corrosion, insulation is set up in areas where different metals are placed close to one another. Impressed current systems that monitor corrosive cell activity and apply currents to protective anodes can be installed to detect and manage corrosion.

Insulation is required in locations where temperature shifts, stopping thermal fatigue.

However, Design changes alone are often unreliable in fully protecting marine equipment from corrosion. While they may address specific vulnerabilities, they may not comprehensively account for the dynamic and multifaceted nature of marine environments. Maintenance challenges, cost considerations, and long-term effectiveness further contribute to their limitations. A holistic approach, combining design improvements with other corrosion mitigation strategies such as Glass flake Coatings and rigorous Maintenance, is essential for effective corrosion management in the marine industry.

2) Glass flake Coatings

What is FRP Products and Its Uses?

Fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) products are composite materials made from a combination of fibers and a resin matrix. The fibers provide the strength and stiffness, while the resin matrix holds the fibers together and protects them from environmental factors such as moisture, chemicals, and UV light.

FRP products are used in a variety of industries and applications, thanks to their unique properties, which include:

High strength-to-weight ratio: FRP products are significantly lighter than traditional materials such as steel, aluminum, and concrete, while still providing high strength and stiffness. This makes them ideal for applications where weight reduction is critical, such as aerospace, automotive, and marine industries.

Corrosion resistance: FRP products are highly resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for use in harsh environments such as chemical plants, wastewater treatment facilities, and offshore structures.

Electrical insulation: FRP products are non-conductive, meaning they do not conduct electricity. This makes them ideal for use in electrical and electronic applications where electrical insulation is required.

Design flexibility: FRP products can be easily molded into complex shapes, allowing for greater design flexibility and customization. This makes them ideal for applications where unique shapes and sizes are required.

Some common FRP products and their uses include:

FRP grating: Used in industrial, commercial, and recreational applications as an alternative to steel grating, due to its high strength, corrosion resistance, and low maintenance requirements.

FRP tanks and vessels: Used in chemical storage and processing, wastewater treatment, and oil and gas industries due to their corrosion resistance, high strength, and light weight.

FRP piping systems: Used in chemical processing, power generation, and water treatment industries due to their corrosion resistance, low maintenance requirements, and long service life.

FRP panels: Used in commercial and industrial buildings as wall and ceiling panels, due to their high strength, durability, and design flexibility.

In conclusion, FRP products are composite materials that offer high strength, low weight, and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for a wide range of applications in various industries. As technology advances and new materials are developed, FRP products are likely to continue to play an important role in the construction of products and structures in the future.
