Flexible Manufacturing System - FMS. What is a 'Flexible Manufacturing System - FMS'. A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is a method for producing goods that is readily adaptable to changes in the product being manufactured, in which machines are able to manufacture parts and in the ability to handle varying levels of production.
When corrosion occurs after the in-process time, the cause may be a corrosive atmosphere. Heat treat departments may exhaust corrosive fumes. One of the most corrosive is sulfur dioxide fumes which will quickly corrode metal surfaces.
Certain salts, such as the dichromates, borates, and silicates, act as inhibitors to the aqueous corrosion of zinc. 2 S) is also harmless because insoluble zinc sulfide (ZnS) is formed. On the other hand, SO 2 and chlorides have a corrosive action because water-soluble and hygroscopic salts are formed.
