Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz - the Question


Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Question (a day early):
The Question:
This element has low ductility and high reactivity to air resulting in 
imited industrial uses. The largest use of this element is in the 
lectronics industry in resistors and in hybrid integrated circuits. This 
lement is used as a catalyst in the petroleum refining industry. 
dditions of this element to Titanium piping result in a significant 
orrosion resistance improvement for sour gas oil well applications. What 
lement is being described?

he winner of this week's quiz will get to put Clumpy and his cousin 
loumpios to work. Both of them safely arrived here in Iowa after their 
boat" ride across the Atlantic, up the Mississippi and finally up the 
edar River to Cedar Rapids. The Army Corp of Engineers didn't quite know 
hat to make of their boat as they negotiated thru the Mississippi lock 
nd dam system. 
So far Clumpy has:
Week 1 Lamar Young, SCS Coatings
 accomplished nothing (drank lots of coffee)
Week 2 Bev Christian, RIM
 conducted REACH material testing
Week 3 Drew Meyer, Benchmark Electronics Inc.
 Solderability testing and mowed the lawn
Week 4 Ian Fox, Goodrich
 had an epic journey of travel
Week 4 Gary Ferrari, Garrick Global
 unknown
Week 5 Fredrick Miller, Astrolab
 unknown
Week 6 David Nelson, Raytheon
 Was a tackling dummy for Dallas Cowboys
Week 7 Graham Collins, L3 Communications
 Cleaned gutters and painted window trim
Week 8 Bill Noel, ITT Geospatial Systems Division
 unknown
Week 9 Steve Gregory of RD Circuits
 unknown
Week 10 David Bealer of Watchfire Signs
 descaled the in-line wash machine! Ouch!
Week 11 Dick Krug of Sparton Corporation
 assisted with AS9100 quality management systems requirements audit
Week 12 Steve Creswick of Balanced Enterprise Solutions
 Acted as Steve's "go fer" due to a broken leg!
Week 13 Gebhard Neifer, Delphi
 conducted a plasma pre treatment Taguchi DOE for a sealing process
Week 14 Bev Christian, RIM
 assisted with a tin pest investigation/test
Week 15 Bev Christian, RIM
- assisted Bev shoveling snow
Week 16 David Bealer of Waatchfire Signs
- unknown
Week 17 Brian Ellis, rumored to be retired
- assisted with rewiring the house, had a tractor accident and found his 
ousin Kloumpios
