3 Smoluchowski's scientific output included fundamental work on the kinetic theory of matter. In 1904 he was the first who noted the existence of density fluctuations in the gas phase and in 1908 he became the first physicist to ascribe the phenomenon of critical opalescence to large density fluctuations. His investigations also concerned the blue colour of the sky as a consequence of light dispersion on fluctuations in the atmosphere, as well as explanation of Brownian motion of particles. At that time Smoluchowski proposed formulae which presently carry his name. Marian Smoluchowski Lviv

15 Alloy steels Carbon and alloy steels Steels containing significant amounts of alloying elements. Structural-grade alloy steels used for construction industries due to high strength. Other alloy steels are used for its strength, hardness, resistance to creep and fatigue, and toughness. It may heat treated to obtain the desired properties.

16 Carbon and alloy steels High-strength low-alloy steels Improved strength-to-weight ratio. Used in automobile bodies to reduce weight and in agricultural equipment. Some examples are: 1. Dual-phase steels 2. Micro alloyed steels 3. Nano-alloyed steels

17 Stainless steels Characterized by their corrosion resistance, high strength and ductility, and high chromium content. Stainless as a film of chromium oxide protects the metal from corrosion.
