Observation of natural convection and particle ejection from stainless steel single pits
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Single pits were visually and electrochemically followed during their growth on a S41500 martensitic SS microelectrode. Solid particles were observed ejecting from the growing pit and after extraction, EDX determined they were mostly iron-based hydroxides/oxides. These particles were carried by fluid flow originating from the pit at a velocity of 21 μm/s. Finite element modeling confirmed the observed flow speeds are achievable by natural convection due to metal ion density gradients. While the pit solution does not experience flow, the bulk solution pH was observed to decrease illustrating how natural convection affects the bulk solution chemistry. • Solid particles are ejected from growing single pits. • Particles illustrate substantial fluid flow originating from single growing pit. • Flow is natural convection from density change between local metal ion concentrations. • Natural convection changes bulk solution chemistry, illustrated with pH decrease. • FEM simulations indicate convection only occurs outside the pit.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
