Brass is an alloy of zinc and copper. In brass, zinc atoms with a radius of 0.133 nm have replaced some of the copper atoms, which have a radius of 0.128 nm. What type of defect is it?

Substitutional Impurity

Explanation:

Substitutional impurity is a defect that occurs when a non-matrix atom replaces a matrix atom as did the zinc atoms in brass did to some copper atoms. These non-matrix atoms will then be called substitutional impurity atoms.

For this to happen, the non-matrix atoms have to be close in size to the matrix atom that they are replacing which in general means within a range of 15%.

explanation:

One of the benefits of working with chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) pipe is that it can be cut with a variety of different tools that don’t require any electricity or heat. However, different cutting methods are preferred over others, depending on the application.

When cutting CPVC pipe, it is important to make a square, flat cut. An uneven cut limits the bonding area and weakens the fitting.

To help you make the best possible cut, we’ve put together the following dos and don’ts when cutting CPVC pipe in different situations.
