Metastability and corrosion in mine wires
Abstract
Mine rope‐wire profile is prone to stress concentration zones by virtue of its manufacturing style and reveals a metastable surface. Metastability, being a non‐equilibrium state, tends to revert back to stability. Such a process of reversion may generate a number of non‐equilibrium states on the surface, which in contact with the mining‐environment foster the growth of a stable and adherent passive‐film.
