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.
Wrought iron can still be attacked by chemical corrosion. Corrosion attacks the metal surface both evenly and in selected areas. Attacked areas of metal can cause stress corrosion cracking and pitting. Wrought iron is mostly subject to corrosion when the unprotected metal is exposed to oxygen along with moisture. Galvanic corrosion also occurs in wrought iron when it has direct contact with copper or zinc, and to a lesser extent galvanized iron or steel.
