It is the addition of a minimum of 12% chromium to the steel that makes it resist rust, or stain 'less' than other types of steel. The chromium in the steel combines with oxygen in the atmosphere to form a thin, invisible layer of chrome-containing oxide, called the passive film. The sizes of chromium atoms and their oxides are similar, so they pack neatly together on the surface of the metal, forming a stable layer only a few atoms thick.
Mimosa (cocktail) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. For other uses, see Mimosa (disambiguation). A Mimosa is a cocktail composed of equal parts champagne (or other sparkling wine) and chilled citrus fruit juice, usually orange juice unless otherwise specified (e.g. a grapefruit juice mimosa).
Add elegance to any landscape. These mimosa trees feature fine, graceful green leaves, attractive brown pods and clusters of dainty pink flowers that will attract hummingbirds and butterflies throughout the summer. This easy care variety is fast-growing, drought-resistant and heat-tolerant.
