Dave,







Clumpy and Kloumpios couldn't come at a better time, they will be helping with storm clean up and putting up Halloween decorations. Make sure they bring the big John Deere tractor to haul the debris to the curb for pick up by our local sanitation crews. If they are really good, I'll send them back with extra treats for all who get to attend the IPC meetings. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend. Have fun and a few drinks for me.







Regards,



Tom

Subject: [TN] Element Quiz Answer







The Question:



A member of the Russian Academy of Science discovered this element at Kazan State University in Russia and named it after the Latin name for his homeland The corrosion resistance of titanium is increased markedly by the addition of a small amount of this element. This element can be found in in plates, medals, and ruble coinage, starting in 1828 in Russia. This element's dioxide is used in thick-film chip resistors accounting for 50% of the element's commercial consumption. What element is being described?







The Answer:



The element is Ruthenium (Ru). The Russian-born scientist of Baltic-German ancestry and a member of the Russian Academy of Science Karl Ernst Claus discovered the element in 1844 at Kazan State University in Russia and named it after the Latin name of his homeland, Ruthenia. Ruthenium dioxide with lead and bismuth ruthenates are used in thick-film chip resistors.  A new application of ruthenium is acting as the capping layer for extreme ultraviolet photo masks. Roughly 12 tonnes of ruthenium are mined each year with world reserves estimated at 5,000 tonnes.











The winner of the quiz is Tom Carroll, Boeing and he will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week.











EQAB did review Doug's submission of "tzarium" but unfortunately was not able to confirm his response as acceptable. The ASM Handbook series does contain 36 volumes but the highest volume is #23 Materials for Medical Devices. Additionally, no evidence of "bolshevik corrosion" was found in the published literature as confirmed by the ASM Handbook Volume 13 A/B/C Corrosion.







Sorry Doug, better luck next time (has anyone else noticed that individuals who have reportedly discovered a half fractional element have come to untimely ends?).











No quiz for a couple weeks as the boys are going to be assisting TechNet members at the IPC Fall meetings and helping me with "lead-free alloy ballistics testing on North American waterfowl" (aka I am going duck hunting and we use non-leaded ammunition).

- I would defer to Leland if he needs the help.  Getting very cold here and supposed to rain often.  The boys probably would enjoy some warmth for a week.  Fun to drag out some little snip of information stored decades ago.



Read up on Wilhelm again!







Week 74 Leland Woodall



- The weather here is pretty nice, so the guys can assist with generating the Quality reports for September for a day or so, and then perform some outside work around the house.  I'll try to take it easy on 'em!







Week 75 Mordechai Kirshenbaum



- They missed the connection and had to wait 8 hours at Heathrow. This is their third visit to Israel. This time they are going to work hard. At least the weather is fine.







Week 76 Tom Carroll, Boeing



- assisted with ????







I hope everyone has a awesome week!
