Corrosion in daily life - Steel frames on a balcony

Corrosion in daily life - Steel frames Looking at LinkedIn, corrosion may feel like an extremely intricate issue seen in large industries. However, looking around, we can see corrosion everywhere! Where was this photo taken? The photo above is of a steel frame attached to a balcony.  The part shown here is the bottom part of the frame. The coatings for such steel parts usually serve the purpose of moderate corrosion protection and more of aesthetics. If you observe, the thickness of the coatings also does not seem to be a lot. Why did the coating degrade? When it rains, the rainwater collects on the bottom of the frames.  This degrades the coating. At the places where it is not perfect anyway, the underlying steel is free to corrode. Most importantly, corrosion is more severe at the edges. It is severe enough to chip off the material entirely. That point is a prime site for crack formation and breaking of the frame. Have you seen such corrosion in your balcony fram...

Thesis flowchart...aka...How to decide what to write first in your thesis?

It was that moment in my thesis writing when I had received a terrible feedback and was asked to overhaul the entire document. It was time to take a break from the screen and go back to basics. I printed out my document and went home. Then I took a break that evening, because it is one of the most underrated but essential things to get everything into perspective. The next day I proceeded to lay out the pages of my thesis chapter-wise on the table. Then I took a blank paper and pad. I thought, "How will I explain my work to my family members in my native language?" So I decided to write down my work in my native language in the form of an algorithm and then rearrange my thesis. I answered the following questions to do so - What is the issue? Where is it encountered? Is it very common? What makes it so very important? What are the steps that people have already taken to solve it? Why have they not been that effective? What is it that I did to solve the issue? How did I do it? ...
