Knaves Over QueensBook - 2019
Perfect for current fans and new readers alike, Knaves Over Queens is an all-new adventure set in London, featuring a fresh cast of characters from the Wild Cards universe.
Developed by aliens and field-tested on Earth, the virus known as Xenovirus Takis-A was released in New York in 1946, changing the course of human history forever. Most of those infected die -- and a tiny percentage become deformed beings known as jokers. A lucky few survivors become aces: superhumans gifted with amazing powers. Now the virus has reached Britain.
There, Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill, gifted with extraordinary longevity, together with the Enigma ace Alan Turing, set up a special organization named the Order of the Silver Helix. They will need all of the wild cards they can find if they are to deal with the terrifying mutations spawned by the virus.
Edited by #1 New York Times bestselling author George R. R. Martin and Melinda M. Snodgrass, Knaves Over Queens features the writing talents of Paul Cornell, Marko Kloos, Mark Lawrence, Kevin Andrew Murphy, Emma Newman, Peter Newman, Peadar O Guilin, Melinda M. Snodgrass, Caroline Spector, and Charles Stross.
Now in development for TV: Rights to develop Wild Cards have been acquired by Universal Cable Productions, the team behind The Magicians and Mr. Robot , with the co-editor of Wild Cards, Melinda Snodgrass, as executive producer.

British Fashion in the Global Marketplace by Dids Macdonald CEO of ACID
Last night in Westminster, there was a thought-provoking parliamentary debate supported by Pete Wishart, MP., Chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for IP and Dr Lisa Cameron, MP., Chairman of the APPG for Fashion and Apparel. Delegates were united in one thing, that the protection of our precious and seismic fashion industry is paramount post Brexit deal or no deal and establishing ongoing dialogue with our European trade partners is critical.
Dids Macdonald, CEO of ACID had the following messages to attendees:
"Before the referendum, the BFC conducted a survey and 90% wanted to remain, the Creative Industries survey indicated 96% the same so it is crystal clear that we need to be continuing to do business with our European partners and positively engaging to consolidate our relationships. We may be leaving the EU but we are not leaving Europe!"
How can we both enhance and protect our world leading fashion industry? "Design punches well above its weight contributing 85.2 billion to the UK economy and fashion is a significant contributor at 32 billion (5.4% increase). Design and design skills provide 1.5 jobs. Therefore, Design matters. I think we should remember though that most are micro and SME and have special challenges especially through copying. We need to ensure that there is an IP legal regime which is secure and reliable to give businesses the confidence to invest – cost & timely access to redress is an essential part of this. WE also need to gather momentum and engage with the Department of International Trade to ensure that this message is firmly communicated through the various sector meetings – for example the Alliance for IP will be hosting one early in the NY."
We need to galvanise forces within the sector to ensure fashion and design generally are at the forefront in global trade negotiations through DIT and DeEXU
On education – Dids endorsed the British Fashion Council's focus on diversity of careers available. Inspiring teenagers nationwide; Organising industry-focused events, pursuing higher education, developing apprenticeship alternatives, offering graduate traineeships at British fashion houses. Encouraging business and investment opportunities, reputation – telling the stories, positive best practice, putting innovation & digital as a strong partnership with consistent engagement with Government on the importance of fashion to the UK economy & the all-important intellectual capital which underpins it
Global online infringement is increasing, and it is critical that there are ongoing discussions with social media providers, search engines and advertising platforms to encourage self-regulation, IP compliance and easy to access routes for redress. So, we hope that this is translated via evidence from the 'Round Tables' into the Industrial Strategy where IP is still just referred to as copyright
Imitation isn't flattery when it costs you your business. I nearly lost my business through blatant IP theft several times so…..
Becoming IP savvy, knowing the laws, creating a practical and proactive IP strategy. Basically, if you don't want people to copy you say so. There is no better place than your website and marketing material. Knowledge gives strength. Designers need to value their creative talent and capacity to innovate
Encourage compliance, respect and ethics in our own backyard!
Is Brexit a threat or an opportunity for design IP? "We recently carried out a survey and 100% were concerned about IP rights post Brexit, 90% said that infringement was blatant and intentional and 78% said they rely on unregistered EU and UK design rights.
This will be potentially calamitous for UK designers, the majority of whom rely on unregistered EU and UK designs."
When the UK leaves the EU:
It will no longer be possible for UK designers, whose designs are first exhibited in the UK, to claim the EU unregistered design right protection in the other 27 member states of the EU
This is because in order for the EU right to come into being in the first place, this first publication / exhibiting must have taken place in an EU member state
As from 1 April 2019 the UK will not be an EU member state. But this doesn't mean we cannot strengthen our EU relations!
Unregistered EU design is a stronger right protecting colour, texture, lines, contours, ornamentation, materials, shape.
So, for example, if a fashion designer's new (unregistered) designs are first seen on a UK catwalk, they will lose the ability to claim protection in 27 EU states unless there is simultaneous protection. For example, show new designs at 3pm and then at 3.01 in EU. Will they have protection in 27 member states. Clear unequivocal guidance essential – factual or legal. Government made a commitment that there would be no loss of IP rights post-Brexit, and our concern is that time is running out.
ACID believes the (IP) threats outweigh opportunities
Fashion related – general issue, 3D protection of any design only available by design laws (except for sculptural or works of artistic craftsmanship) which has never been legally determined. NOT protected by copyright unless a pattern – Designers Guild and Washington DC.
ACID presented evidence to Government 19 months ago and there is still no clarity. We asked the IPO CEO Tim Moss only last month and there is still no clear guidance. ACID, with IPO help, is currently trying to ascertain the legality of simultaneous publication using an EU version of our online Marketplace
On a more general note – design is the poor cousin in the IP family and Brexit will make it even more complicated.
What can fashion designers and businesses do now to prepare?
If budget allows, Brexit proof trademarks and registered designs before March! Because we are assured that there will be reciprocity between EU and UK on registered rights within the Withdrawal Bill.
But on the position of unregistered EU rights it is potentially devastating. Yes, the UK Government has responded to our campaign and assured us that there will be a new unregistered UK design right with equivalent protection to the current community unregistered design right but losing protection in 27 member states will make UK designers vulnerable.
We might leave with a trade deal in place, we might not. There might be a transition period, there might not. But one thing is certain, now is the time to start preparing yourself for B-Day and what better way to do this than by attending a talk about how your intellectual property rights might be affected by the biggest political event of a generation?
On 6th December we will co-host a breakfast talk with our legal affiliates Briffa aimed at future proofing IP rights post Breakfast. Find out further information about attending here .
In a recent ACID survey, Rob Law, MBE., MD of Magmatic t/a Trunki said
"My company Magmatic Ltd T/A Trunki designs and manufactures children's travel products. We employ 80 people at our Head office in Bristol and manufacturing facility in Plymouth. Our turnover is approximately £8.5million, all of which is generated by products protected by registered and unregistered design. If we lose protection of our unregistered rights in 27-member states, and are unable to enforce our rights, we predict approximately 25% of our sales could be lost. This could effectively quarter our turnover and lose approximately 20% of our workforces."

New KeyLAB Release Supports Windows 10 and Excel 2016
Please note that the following news item is an archived article. Therefore any links and information may now be out of date.
Keynetix is pleased to announce that it has today released build 18.104.22.168 of KeyLAB that includes support for Excel 2016 and Windows 10. The build also includes fixes made in release 126.96.36.199 for improved handling of Staged tests and AGS data production from staged tests.
Since Windows 10 was released on 29 July 2015 the Keynetix development team have been working hard reviewing the changes that the new operating system has made to the way KeyLAB needs to work.
The launch of Excel 2016 on the 22 September 2015 has made the job even harder as KeyLAB has needed to be tested in a new operating system and new Excel version at the same time, while making sure historical Excel Versions and Operating systems still work with the new changes.
"I am very pleased with the speed and response of our excellent development and testing teams" said Roger Chandler, Managing Director of Keynetix and Product Manager for KeyLAB. "To have a new KeyLAB version released within 10 days of the release of Excel 2016 shows our commitment to the KeyLAB product and our customers."
The new version is available free for all KeyLAB customers with a valid Maintenance Agreement via the downloads section of our website.
Keynetix have also released a feedback tool for the importing of datalogger data into KeyLAB. The tool which is available for free from the Keynetix Knowledgebase allows users to convert data from GDS and VJ Tech data loggers into a KeyLAB XML file ready for importing directly into KeyLAB.
"The feedback from the majority of users of this new import tool has been positive." said Roger Chandler. "We will continue to add routines to the tool to allow the importing of formats from other suppliers as and when customers request them."
A video showing the tool in action and a downloadable version of the tool are available on the Knowledgebase.

If we feature any more stunning weddings from Italy, I honestly don't think I'm going to be able to stop myself from booking a one-way flight there. Seriously – Paula & Matthew's big day is yet another divine wedding we've received from the land of delicious food and wine. (If you want to see more Italian weddings, just chose Italy as your location when search through our real wedding archives).
The venue, Terre di Nano, nestled in the Tuscan countryside is a stunning place to get married and I love the simple but stylish decor Paula has used to make the place look even more beautiful. Hessian and lace runners, jam jars tied with brown string and filled with hydrangeas and tea lights are all it takes to make a dining table look truly inviting.
And at night time Terre di Nano becomes even more magical, with festoon lights glowing, there is no denying the romance of a destination wedding.
The Venue
Paula The Bride: We went to Italy in October 2013 with a shortlist of venues to visit, searching for our ideal wedding venue. We wanted somewhere typically Tuscan, with breathtaking, panoramic views, which could cater for our wedding party of around 60 guests. Terre di Nano in Monticchiello had made the shortlist and as we drove up the country lane and parked the car it was clear we had already been encaptured by the stunning views across the rolling hills to the Tuscan villages of Pienza and Montepulciano. As we wandered around the grounds and were shown around the cool apartments with terracotta floors, wooden beams and freshly washed linens we were already beginning to imagine what our wedding would be like – rustic yet elegant, informal and understated but with a careful eye for detail.
The Wedding Weekend
The wedding weekend started on Friday evening with a prosecco reception, pizza party and quiz night, with the pizza chefs using the wood burning stove to bring out pizza after pizza. Saturday saw the early morning rainclouds give way to the warm, Autumn sunshine and the preparations began in earnest. Chairs were set up and wine barrels were rolled into the lavendar garden, where Matt's grandfather would later lead the ceremony. The hairdresser and make up artist came to prepare Paula, the bridesmaids and the mums, while the florists from Stiatti Fiori and Giorgio and Ilaria's team at Terre di Nano worked behind the scenes to get ready for the reception.
The Entertainment
The guests were seated and the wedding party came down to the lavendar garden accompanied by a traditional folk trio, much to the delight of friends and family. As the ceremony finished the wedding party moved round onto the terrace in front of the main villa accompanied by 'That's Amore'. The music played on into the evening, with the aperitivo being served on the terrace as the sun set over the hills. Dusk faded into dark and dinner was served in the olive grove with hundreds of fairy lights and candles before guests moved into the wine cellar, transformed into a disco for one final wow factor.

Are you sure?
This action might not be possible to undo. Are you sure you want to continue?
With her stunning Latin looks, Angelica De Campo was beautiful enough to live up to her nickname of Angel. But Jake McCord, Australia's most eligible bachelor, couldn't decide if his newest employee was an angel or a temptress!
Jake had hired Angelica to transform his Outback home into a lavish Christmas party venue; their relationship had to remain strictly professional. Only, the more closely they worked together, the harder they both had to fight to resist the attraction between them--or risk the consequences....
THE heat and clamour of the day had been frightful, Jake reflected. Truly exhausting even for him. It had been easy enough rounding up the mob on the spinifex plains at the height of the Dry, fields of burnt gold like an endless harvest of wheat, but galloping after cattle in rough terrain was no fun. And dangerous.
Last year his Brit jackeroo, Charlie Middleton, had sustained a back injury as a result of his boundless derring-do and yen for action and had to undergo surgery, which mercifully turned out fine. Charlie, the Honourable Charles Middleton, no less, was back on the job a whole lot less inclined to go swashbuckling around the bush. He really liked Charlie and mostly looked on his enthusiasm and sense of adventure with favour, but the ever-present hazards had to be taken seriously. Driving cleanskins, the unbranded cattle, out of their hiding places was one of them. The horned beasts, dangerous on that count alone, buried themselves deep in the vast network of lignum thickets that wrapped themselves around the waterways and billabongs, finding green havens after the semidesert with its scorching red sands.
This was the final muster before Christmas. The Big One, though work procedures had been revolutionised since he was a boy. Today on the station good chopper pilots—and he was one of them—matched the skills of the pioneer stockmen when it came to moving cattle. The name of the game was efficiency and the use of helicopters had greatly increased the speed of the musters as well as cutting the workforce. But there were some places the choppers couldn't safely go, so the horses got involved, every last one of them well trained. That was his job. Overseeing their management. A man had to be multi-skilled these days to survive on the land. He was a smart businessman, too. He had a degree in commerce behind him. A man for all seasons you might say.
And speaking of seasons, the Wet had officially begun in the tropical north of his giant state of Queensland, but not one drop of rain had fallen on his neck of the woods; the far south-west of the state, the Channel Country, riverine desert with some of the loneliest, most dramatic landscapes on the planet. Home to the nation's cattle kings. He guessed he had to be one of them now.
Jake McCord. Cattle king. Jake was grittier than Jonathon, his real name. Of course his father had come up with the alternative. He supposed it was reasonably close. Only his mother had called him Jonathon. Three years after his father's premature death—Clive McCord had been bitten in the leg by a poisonous copperhead while out on one of his solitary desert walkabouts—he still thought of himself as the heir apparent. The man in waiting. He supposed it was to his credit he had never thought of himself as being overshadowed by his father when his father had clearly enjoyed cracking the whip as a means of keeping everyone around him under control.
Especially his son. However, in his case, his father had never tasted success. Some inbred fighting spirit had allowed him to shrug and take it. He knew a lot of people in their far-flung Outback community put the discord between father and son down to Clive McCord's not unrare jealousy of his heir and his deep-seated bitterness. The fact was, both of their lives had been tragically disrupted by the death of beautiful, much loved, Roxanne, wife and mother, in a riding accident on the station when Jake was barely six. From then on his father had turned into another person, with hardly a nodding tolerance for others, not drawing closer to his bereft child, but seeming to blame him for living when his wife hadn't. There was ample proof that sort of thing sometimes happened.
The total lack of love and approval had left him damaged he supposed. It had certainly charged him with a lot of hurt and anger and an almost chronic wariness that even extended into his love life. He supposed it was all about his mother and his idealisation of her. It had been very hard on his girlfriends because one way or another they had all fallen short. Or perhaps he believed that love was an illusion. Yet he had known love when his mother was alive. He was still capable of remembering. Her loss had been overwhelming and it had come at a bad time in a child's life.
Two years after his mother's death, Stacy had come along. Stacy, his stepmother, his father's second wife. Poor Stacy! God what a life she'd had with such a hard strange man who'd only married her because she was nothing like his late wife, but she was young, gentle and tractable and could provide from her delicate body more sons to work the giant station. All Stacy could manage was his half sister, Gillian, who had proved as easy to dominate as her mother, flinching whenever her father's hard gaze fell on her. It would have been easier for Gillian had she been a McCabe in appearance. His clan tended to be really handsome people with a surplus of self-confidence. Gillian favoured her mother. Pretty, sure, but living life under a modern-day despot who never saw her as any kind of asset had clipped Gilly's wings. Sometimes he thought it hadn't helped anyone when he'd come so repeatedly to their defence. It had only made his father look more harshly on all of them.
McCord's sudden violent death was an appalling shock when they all thought he was going to live forever, but in the end he hadn't been mourned. Stacy and Gillian had made a pretence at grief—surely it was expected—but it wasn't in Jake to play the hypocrite. All of them after the initial shock had felt a vast sense of release. For such a rich and powerful man, his father had had few genuine friends except for an old aboriginal called Jindii, an Eaglehawk man, who sometimes joined McCord on his wanderings. Jindii, a desert nomad, had passed back and forth across the station for as long as anyone could remember. In fact the old man had to be at least one hundred and looked every minute of it. Jindii still wandered the Wild Heart. So did his father for that matter. In spirit anyway. He had scattered his father's ashes in a high-noon ritual, watching them disappear in a sea of mirage to become part of the eternal shifting sands.
So now he was McCord, the master of Coori Downs. Coori was an aboriginal word meaning flowers. And vast vistas of desert flora was what the first Scottish-born McCord settler in Australia had seen when he and an explorer friend had passed through the Channel Country on their journey to the Central Queensland plains in the early 1800s. Jake had whole sections of his ancestor's diaries off pat….
Wildflowers marching to the horizons! His ancestor had written.
Mile after mile of them, as far as a man can see. A sight that gave me a sense of God; of great kinship with this ancient earth. Under those infinite desert gardens, surely the mightiest on earth, lay the bones of the explorers who had perished. Men like Kingsley and me. Ordinary men but adventurers, too. Men of vision. It seemed impossible such displays could exist under the blazing sun. There were countless millions of daisies with white and gold petals like paper. Pink succulents, yellow poppies, delicate, fragrant indigo, purple, brilliant red bushes that looked like they'd caught fire. And grasses of lilac, silver and pale green were waving their feathery plumes before the wind. A wonderful, wonderful sight, breath-taking in its unexpectedness. It was like entering Paradise after the savagery of the country through which we had passed, harsh and unforgiving enough to break a man's spirit. The temptation to stay in this flowering wilderness was enormous but Kingsley rightly reminded me we had to meet up with the main party at an isolated settlement eight days hence.
His intrepid ancestor had returned ten years later, to almost the exact spot, this time with his family, his wife and four sons, to lay the foundation for the McCord dynasty. It had proved a hard life with undreamed-of tribulations, but the family had survived and triumphed. The days of the pioneers had been meticulously recorded in several diaries.
It was a harsh code Jake had lived under himself. Not materially, the reputed family wealth was no fiction. His father deserved respect for the management of his heritage. Coori had prospered under his stewardship, but somehow from a twisted soul his father had set about trying to deplete his only son's resources. But in the best tradition of his forefathers, it had only made Jake tougher. Survival of the fittest was the name of the game. A man still had to contend with the rules of the jungle.
As for Stacy? She hadn't had much of a life. Married off at eighteen to a man of difficult character almost twenty years her senior. Just to add to it, Stacy had to live with the fact she was in a triangular marriage, even if her rival was a tragic ghost, the memory of his mother, Roxanne.
Her portrait had never come down. It continued to hang above the mantelpiece in the Yellow Drawing Room. A study of a beautiful young woman on the eve of her marriage to one of the most eligible young men in the country, Clive McCord of the McCord pioneering dynasty. He tried to remember his father as a young man. Certainly his early childhood memories had been filled with happy times. Enough to sustain him.
But the young Clive McCord had all but disappeared the day they brought his wife in on a stretcher, slender neck broken in a fall from her beloved Arabian mare, Habibah, though she'd been an experienced horsewoman. His father had shot Habibah where it stood, sweating and trembling. Jake remembered that bright, shining, beautiful animal crashing to the ground as vividly as though it were yesterday. He remembered his screams of protest, rushing to his father, grasping him around the legs in an effort to divert his aim. Habibah was his mother's horse. She would never have wanted it destroyed. It was an accident, but it may as well have been murder so far as his father was concerned. Despite the agony of his son, Clive McCord had pulled the trigger, his insides burning with grief and rage.
I've such a memory, he thought, feeling a moment of depression, it burdens me. He stopped on his journey from the stables to the house to eye a falcon about to drop on its prey. He clapped his hands, looking skyward at the blazing desert sunset.
Scat! Immediately the falcon flew off with a sharp, predatory and mournful cry that startled the family cat, Tosca, who had the same colouring as Jake. It amused him, though Stacy always said he was more like a lion. He bent to the cat, as it purred in contentment and wound itself around his leg, stroking and murmuring a few endearments that Tosca seemed to enjoy. He loved all animals though he'd had his arguments with wild camels and dingoes. He loved horses especially, it was a love born and bred in him. Horses were essential to his unique way of life. He was highly skilled at educating them and keeping them fit and sound in tough conditions. He couldn't help knowing that he was widely regarded as a superb rider and polo player, as well.
The truly frustrating thing was while he was a damned good judge of a horse's character, he hadn't had such luck with women. One in particular had hurt him, but that was in his university days. Her name was Michelle. She was a few years older, and a smooth, smooth, operator. She played games when one thing he prized in a relationship was trust. And he didn't share. He was still waiting like a fool for that thunderbolt from the heavens, the perfect woman, or perfect for him, and he was twenty-eight years old. A man of strong passions, but he made damn sure they didn't appear too near the surface. How different life would be with that one woman. He still hadn't closed his mind on the idea he would find her. Or she would find him. God knows he had little time to go courting. That was the curse of the man on the land.
He heaved a weary sigh. He found sweet and endearing his stepmother and half sister. He loved them for their gentle caring natures but even at the best of times they weren't women to lean on. They had an excellent housekeeper in Clary. Clary had her own little band of household staff, part aboriginal girls born on the station, gone away to school, but happy to come back. Still, the homestead by any standards was a mansion and Clary wasn't getting any younger. The house girls needed direction. He certainly didn't need Stacy and Gilly to help him run the station and their two out-stations hundreds of miles away in Central Queensland, but it would have been brilliant had they been more confident and competent, able to run things, order up supplies, manage the domestic staff, all the sorts of things women traditionally did on an Outback station.
Like Dinah, for instance. He could just picture Dinah Campbell running the Christmas functions Coori would be hosting this year, although he had given the job to his cousin, Isobel, who ran a very successful catering business for the well-heeled in Brisbane. Even so, Dinah had come close to telling him she would have been just as good at the job, humming softly to herself as she explored all the reception rooms of the house, making suggestions as to what needed changing, a seriously desirous expression in her eyes; laughing right under his nose about Stacy's
problems until she saw she was making him furious.
Dinah, a genuine platinum-blonde with pale green eyes, was a good-looking, totally capable and assured young woman but her strong point wasn't tact or understanding, maybe you couldn't have one without the other, and he didn't care at all for her patronising his family. He'd known Dinah since they were children. Like him, she was Outback royalty, grand-daughter to his McCord grandfather's closest friend. He had even romanced her on and off. Dinah could be good fun, as well as being good in bed. He knew she valued their long friendship, but there was something about her he couldn't really cotton on to. Could it be her lack of feeling for others? God knows he'd had enough of that, though she was always incredibly sweet to him. He was aware Dinah and her family had high hopes that one day he would
pop the question though he had never led Dinah to believe it was only a matter of time.
Yes, he could picture Dinah organising everything perfectly, compulsively methodical, looking glamorous while she savoured playing Coori's hostess, circling the guests using all her practised charm, and supreme self-confidence that came with having a rich man for a doting dad. So why had he rejected her? In many ways she had fit the bill. She was strong, with energy to burn. She was Outback born and had lived his way of life. Moreover he needed someone. A woman he could love and live with for the rest of his life. Where the hell was she? If she ever turned up he knew he would recognise her right off.
Some of his more delicious dreams stirred… He kept seeing a pair of dark eyes. A wonderful fall of dark curly hair, glossy as a magpie's wing. Even thinking about it drew all the blood into his loins. But he didn't know a single girl with large lustrous dark eyes and a beautiful soft body that drew a man like a magnet. At one point he thought he had actually seen her someplace. Somewhere outside his dreams. Then he decided she was simply a figment of his imagination.
Stacy was waiting for him the moment he set foot in the homestead. Even after all these years she still had the capacity to surprise him. She was sitting cross-legged on the parqueted floor, flanked by the two coal-black Labradors, Juno and Jupiter, tails thumping in an ecstasy of greeting.
What on earth are you doing down there? He braced himself as the dogs bounded towards him.
Stacy smiled sweetly and shrugged.
Why not? It's nice and cool. Besides I've never felt comfortable in those chairs. She nodded at two very imposing and valuable antique carved mahogany hall chairs with sphinx-like figures for arms. At forty Stacy was in great shape. She still looked like a girl, with her fair hair and skin and large cloudy blue eyes. She'd lived a lifetime of constantly trying to please, but somehow she didn't show the burden of endless stress.
Arrested development, one of the acerbic McCord aunts had observed. No one in the extended family could ever work out why the high-handed, difficult and demanding Clive had married such a consistently shy and ineffectual little thing. Stacy wasn't considered interesting or exciting at all. Why, she couldn't be more different to the beautiful, vivid Roxanne whom everyone had adored and greatly mourned.
Now Stacy stood up, swaying a

If my piece of content is so unique and valuable around hiking backpack recommendations, that other reputable outdoor websites are willing to link to it and build the page's authority, then I'd have a very real opportunity to rank high in organic search for these search terms (meaning, my page will come up first when someone searches for hiking backpacks).
You could also opt to use existing websites for making money. These include both active income and passive income methods. For example, you could sell some used items or invest in creating some digital designs that then can be sold on merchandise. Again, devote a sizable portion of your time to passive income so that you can slowly build up earnings that will arrive on autopilot without any extra added effort.
You now have the formula to a make massive amounts of money with Clickbank (or any other affiliate network). It takes more work than the hit and run model but the payoffs are much higher. I hope you enjoy this post and I hope it opened your eyes to what it really takes to make money with Clickbank. Your comments are welcome. If you felt I've left anything out and you have a question, please post it.
Become an Amazon Associate and then use Keyword planner to find an in-demand niche: With more than a million different products to choose from and up to 10% commission the sales you drive, Amazon's affiliate program is a great place to get started. Browse their available products and see what connects with you. Or take it a step further and use Google's Keyword Planner to quickly check how many people are searching for a specific term. With affiliate marketing, the more relevant traffic you can pull in, the more you'll make off your site.
My next self-funded business hit $160,000 in revenue in its first year alone. After that first taste of self-made success, I've gone on to sign consulting contracts worth tens of thousands of dollars with startups like LinkedIn and Google, launch profitable online courses, and build a following of hundreds of thousands for this blog and my podcast series.
Process-specific tutorials: You can also provide your readers with an in-depth process tutorial. For example, a DIY blog could write a tutorial blog post on "How to refinish an antique dresser" or a food-based blogger could describe "How to can your own tomatoes." In each of these, all of the products you need to accomplish these outcomes would be links to Amazon.
The best way to make people give you their email address is to offer them something they find valuable for free. This is where the eBook comes in. You can write it yourself or hire Michael Kwan to write it. If you're really cheap, you can use a PLR eBook. They're just like PLR articles but in eBook size. Personally, I recommend you write it yourself or hire out the writing. The quality of PLR leaves a lot to be desired.
Affiliates were among the earliest adopters of pay per click advertising when the first pay-per-click search engines emerged during the end of the 1990s. Later in 2000 Google launched its pay per click service, Google AdWords, which is responsible for the widespread use and acceptance of pay per click as an advertising channel. An increasing number of merchants engaged in pay per click advertising, either directly or via a search marketing agency, and realized that this space was already occupied by their affiliates. Although this situation alone created advertising channel conflicts and debates between advertisers and affiliates, the largest issue concerned affiliates bidding on advertisers names, brands, and trademarks.[39] Several advertisers began to adjust their affiliate program terms to prohibit their affiliates from bidding on those type of keywords. Some advertisers, however, did and still do embrace this behavior, going so far as to allow, or even encourage, affiliates to bid on any term, including the advertiser's trademarks.
Sign up for a reputable affiliate network: Aside from Amazon, there are dozens of large reputable affiliate networks, such as Share-A-Sale, Clickbank, and Skimlinks, that specialize in connecting you with merchants who are looking for affiliates to sell their products. They charge relatively low commission fees for the privilege of connecting you with merchants, and the merchants on these sites tend to offer much higher commission percentages or set dollar amount payouts.
Long-tail keywords are search phrases, rather than one or two words. If you are planning to promote an online poker course for example, you might do some keyword research and decide that the term "online poker course" has too much competition from existing websites, but articles based on things like "When to push during a sit-n-go" don't have as much competition and may yield more traffic.
Thirsty Affiliates tracks, cloaks, and categorizes your affiliate links. Once you've signed up for your program(s) grab your affiliate links and add them to this plugin. This can take time if you will be linking to multiple pages on your affiliate's website (which in many cases, you should). The pro version comes with statistics but I don't even use it and I'm quite the analytical person.
It's sometimes hard to comprehend just how much people love t-shirts. And with the right niche, marketing, and tools, you can create an online t-shirt business that makes you extra money online while you sleep. (Even Bloomberg and Forbes feature stories from entrepreneurs who've done just that.) Services like TeeSpring make it easier than ever to create a t-shirt drop-shipping business where they handle the sales, printing, and shipping, and you're only responsible for design and marketing. For more tips, check out this simple guide to launching and marketing an online clothing store by my friends over at Selz.
I don't know what your problem was, but hundreds of us here, who are making our full-time livings through ClickBank, greatly appreciate the reliability and security of our payments (in some cases even so much that we won't seriously consider promoting non-ClickBank stuff), and have plenty of respect for a company that's been successfully established online for even longer than Google.
You can work as a virtual assistant through dedicated websites, such as Upwork or Zirtual. All kinds of skills are needed, and compensation can vary anywhere between $10 per hour to $100 or more. Obviously, the higher pay will be to people who have more technical skills, such as web building skills and marketing. But you can find work doing administrative tasks at the lower end of the pay scale.
You will earn the Special Program Fee Rates described in this Section 4(b) in connection with "Trade-In Events" which occur when (1) a customer clicks through a Special Link on your Site to an Amazon Site and (2) during the resulting Session the customer adds a product to his or her trade-in shopping cart and then submits a trade-in request that Amazon accepts.
While I was doing WordPress speed optimization I noticed lots of people needed it, but very few people supplied it (there were a lack of services and tutorials when I researched Google). I also knew hosting was the #1 factor of website speed factor and these companies paid up to $200/sale. Hosting is a competitive space but the commissions and lack of supply enticed me.
If you are a fast reader and have a good grasp of grammar and language then editing may be a good freelance role for you. Editing is a great way to quickly make money online, and there are always editing jobs available on freelance job sites. And the best part? Editor's usually get paid per word, so the faster you can check through work the more money you will make per hour.
Until 2017, Amazon offered a stepped commission structure so that affiliates who sold a lot of products were paid a higher commission than those who sold little. However, Amazon eliminated this structure and began using flat commission rates for different types of products. While this is likely to continue evolving, examples of the commission structure in 2018 are as follow:

We really help make it easy for your affiliates to promote you. Arming your affiliates with the exact tools—even the exact scripts— that they need for social media domination is another step toward affiliate promotion success.

Thanks for the great article. If i'm a manufacture/seller and want hire affiliate to promote our product, which are the most effective ways to do so? To be more specific, we're a start-up selling glass vessel sinks and high end kitchen sinks/faucets(www.arsumo.com).We'd like to give high commission rates for marketers to sell our product (10+%). Our product quality is great and we sell on wayfair and overstock currently but like to grow our own marketing channel. Thank you for your advise! I'm also considering to take your class to dive deeper into the marketer world.
Do you constantly come up with witty one-liners? Do you dream of the days of Mad Men-style advertising? If you've got some branding chops or just come up with imaginative copy, there are lots of opportunities to make money online through company naming and slogan contests. If you think you have a knack for names check out namingforce.com and squadhelp.com. If you dream of coming up with witty copy, try coming up with company slogans on Slogan Slingers and Get a Slogan.
Get paid to search the Web. Sites like Swagbucks.com and Zoombucks.com will pay you to use their online interface to search the web. To qualify, you need to be willing to download their search bar and use it for everyday Internet use. The only caveat that comes with this "gig" is that you might be paid in gift cards instead of cash. If you can parlay those gift cards into items you need to buy anyway – like groceries or gas – searching online can be a lucrative way to spend your free time.
If you have a background in a specific field, you may find there is a demand for writing industry papers in your area of expertise. For example, there are often adverts for doctors, lawyers, nutritionists, and business experts from particular niches, to write white papers on different subject areas. These are well paid jobs that you will need to stake your reputation on, but that can often be worked on from the comfort of your own home.
If you have your own eCommerce store, social media is the perfect platform to showcase your products. Demonstrate your products in use and tell your social following why they need to buy your merchandise. Most social media channels allow you to add 'buy' buttons your pages, allowing your followers to easily click through to your site and make a purchase.
The audiobook industry is booming, yet only 5% of books ever get made into audio format. If you've got a background in acting, or if people have said you've got a voice made for the radio, you can make extra money recording audio versions of independent and popular books. Sites like ACX connect authors with audiobook performers. So, whether you're an author looking for more ways to sell your book, or an actor/voice actor looking to make some extra income, you can sell your services online.
I love referral and affiliate marketing. It's where the vast majority of my income comes from these days. Even if you aren't a blogger, you can get in on the action as well. You can get paid to refer your friends to a wide variety of legitimate services. While there are many companies like StitchFix that will give you store credit for referrals, we are focusing on those that offer cold, hard cash today. Keep in mind, you will need to be signed up for the program yourself to take advantage of the program. But, you shouldn't be referring people to things you don't use anyway.
Pretty Nice Article Gael. This is much better than playing the waiting game of 4-6 months for the site to rank in Google. Much faster to test the funnel right away with paid traffic and get leads in your funnel for future marketing as well. These funnels might take time to build initially but once set they are truly source of passive income unless offer is taken off.
Shopify is a very popular site building platform for people interested in building eCommerce stores. It has been around for the past few years and seen significant growth in its user base over this time. You can earn a staggering 200% per sale for every new customer you refer to them, which means that there is up to $2400 per new customer on offer.
Write and publish an eBook. You don't need a traditional publisher and financial backing to publish your own book anymore. In fact, Amazon.com makes it possible for you to publish your own eBook and sell it independently – with no financial investment on your part. And with Kindle eBook publishing, your book will appear on Kindle stores worldwide within 24-48 hours. Just be prepared to market it yourself on social media, your blog, or elsewhere if you expect to generate sales.

Hello, I just read your post. I am a public school teacher and I am trying to create additional income. I enjoyed your article because it provided some good information. I can't help but think that you should get someone to help you edit your material for grammar mistakes. Please don't take offense to this, I just think it would help your writing be more professional and polished.
If you have an e-book or online course that you'd like to promote, ClickBank makes that easy. Once you sign up as a vendor you can list your product with them and set the commission percentage you are willing to pay to anyone who chooses to market and promote your product for you. Once your product is listed, other ClickBank users will start promoting it on their own websites. This will drive traffic to the sales page on your website and hopefully result in sales.

I love this vibe so much that I've got two
Reviewed: September 11, 2019 by jengles, a Bisexual Married Female
I love the quality of the Lelo range, it's sleek, smooth and tasteful and the highest quality.
I already have this vibe in the black and when this gorgeous bright pinky purple colour was on offer in the sale I decided I couldn't resist it.
I've had my black Lelo Insignia Isla for three years now and it's had an awful lot of use, it's still going as strong as ever, but I wanted a spare because I wouldn't ever want to be without my Lelo, that's how good it is.
This is my go to vibe for G-spot orgasms. It hits the spot and works every time for me, it's just the perfect shape.
My favourite setting is the fast pulsating mode, but there's plenty to choose from.
It's waterproof and a charge lasts for ages. It's never let me down at the vital moment.
- Pros
- It works on my G-spot every time.
- Cons
- Nothing at all.
- Bottom line
- I just love this vibe.

Amazing design, the handle is great in for getting all your angles. Loads of different speeds and rhythms. Was really easy too with my partner, he was really excited by it too. There's no way you will lose it in the popping pink. Definitely worth the money!

- Darker colours.

A sexy 'little' number
Reviewed: April 12, 2017 by Inatiz!, a Straight Married Female
This is the second Lelo product we've purchased from Lovehoney - and being very lazy I have only just got around to reviewing it after many, many months!
As always, the packaging from Lovehoney was discreet and quick. As for the Lelo packaging, you know you have something special.
The vibrator itself - you want to touch it... it demands it and you should want to be touched with it! A firm favourite in the bedroom.
Yes, it's expensive, but in my opinion you get what you pay for. It took me ages to justify the money but boy 'oooohhhhhh' boy am I glad I did!
- Pros
- The quality, power and variety.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Luxury that's worth splashing out on!

I absolutely love this vibrator
Reviewed: September 14, 2016 by jengles, a Bisexual Married Female
I actually bought this vibrator in April and now I'm updating my previous review of it.
When I first had this vibrator I got it because of it's size, not too big around the girth. I didn't actually use it much to start with and it mainly sat in the lovely box that it came in.
But gradually I've been using it more often and I discovered that I love the pulsating mode that it has. In fact, I have now discovered that by using this in pulsating mode on my G-spot and my Lovehoney rechargeable mini magic wand on my clitoris at the same time that I can get combined orgasms at the same time. Something that has never happened to me before, I'm a bit of a power queen I'm afraid.
In fact I love this vibe so much that I've just ordered the Ina wave and the love egg from the Lelo range.
- Pros
- The pulsating modes in particular, of which it has two.
- Cons

Great for him too
Reviewed: July 20, 2016 by Smith, a Straight Married Female
After buying the Lelo Soraya for myself and really loving it, I actually bought this for my partner.
He likes strong throbbing vibrations on his perineum and we'd tried various other vibrators, including wands with limited results. One of the difficulties being actually holding a toy in place with pressure down there while he's writhing - well, the looped handle of the Isla makes it so much easier!
As for the strength of the vibrations, on the highest setting he wasn't disappointed.
So, although this is not being put to its intended use, it still gets top marks from us.
The only slight niggle is the colour. It's a shame Lovehoney doesn't stock the black one, but given the amazing customer service we'd rather have purple than shop elsewhere.

On the one hand, I totally understand a governmental entity demanding concessions in exchange for granting huge breaks to a private business.
On the other hand, I totally understand businesses balking.
Whilst on vacation, I happened upon a place in Destin, Florida called HarborWalk Village. It's right at the edge of Destin, on its harbor, right next to where the fishing boats dock. Parking, by the way, was free and convenient. The centerpiece of HarborWalk Village is the luxury condominium development that features a water taxi to take you to a nearby beach. The relatively small area is charming, walkable, and packed with locally owned businesses selling everything from hair wraps to $300 running shoes. There are also about 5 bar/restaurants right along the boardwalk where you can enjoy a nice meal with a sea breeze and watch the boats come and go.
I had earlier jokingly tweeted that I was at a Bass Pro at a mall and that it was "just like CanalSide". When I later noted that I was at HarborWalk, Brian Castner noted that this was, in fact, like CanalSide and directed me to this post of his.
He's right, of course. CanalSides are a dime a dozen. Development of a waterfront area that features, you know, stuff people might want to do and see, is a no-brainer, regardless of the weather. We use crutches galore to explain why we can't, why we won't.
But we can and we should.
We pat ourselves on the back for making patently obvious decisions. It would be like asking for a medal for figuring out to use our noses to smell. CanalSide, or something like it, should have been built years ago. I guess we should be somewhat thankful we waited this long, because, well, just look at what this city threw up in the name of development at various points in the last 30 years. Most of it is shockingly horrible.
If the city wins and gets its precious Community Benefits Agreement, do we win? Do we lose? Does the project get done?
You're all watching the Sabres game right now, but you're all ignoring the fact that Buffalo's real spectator sport – its real pastime – is making the same mistakes over and over again.
Instead of a CBA, what CanalSide needs is legislation designating it a reverse Empire Zone, where sales tax is waived so that the tax benefits flow directly to the consumer.

Digital Image Correlation (DIC), Acoustic Emission and Electrochemical Noise measurements were applied to study the growth of multiple intergranular cracks as a colony on an Alloy 600 in a tetrathionate solution. Cracks exceeding 55 μm in length and 0.45 μm in opening were successfully detected by DIC. Moreover, crack population was classified into initiating, active and dormant cracks, active population being the larger one. The emergence and intensification of interactions produced a modification on the colony growth behavior. They range from a mostly surface crack propagation (in the absence of interactions), to in depth propagation predominantly governed by crack shielding
The role of Sn on the atmospheric corrosion performance of binary Cu-Sn bronze alloys (4–6 wt.% Sn) compared with Cu metal used in outdoor architecture is elucidated in terms of microstructure, native surface oxide composition, patina evolution, corrosion rates, appearance and metal release. Results are presented for non-exposed surfaces and surfaces exposed at different urban and marine sites in Europe up to 5 years and based on multi-analytical findings from microscopic, spectroscopic, electrochemical and chemical investigations. Alloying influenced the corrosion, aesthetic appearance and patina evolution, differently for urban and marine sites, whereas no effects were observed on the release pattern. © 2019 The Authors
The corrosion resistance of a two-layer polymer (silane+parylene) coating, on implant stainless steel was investigated by microscopic observations and electrochemical measurements. Long term exposure tests in Hanks solution revealed that the coating of 2μm can be successfully used for corrosion protection. However, the addition of H2O2, simulating the inflammatory response of human body environment causes a dramatic destruction of the protective coating. Analysis of the experimental data in terms of circuit models enables proposing a deterioration mechanism. OH radicals formed at the metal surface attack the polymer, thus the deterioration starts from the metal/polymer interface and progress towards the outward surface. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
The influence of surface finishing (polishing and passivation) on the release of Cr, Fe, Ni from the stainless steel 316 implant materials to Hanks solution with or without H2O2 (simulating a body inflammatory response) was investigated. The surfaces were characterized by means of SEM EDXS, XPS and Kelvin Probe measurements before and after exposure to the synthetic body fluids. The total metal ions release rates are more than 10 times higher in the presence of H2O2, independently of the surface finishing. In the absence of H2O2, formation of a surface layer consisting mainly of Ca3(PO4)2 was observed, most likely it was responsible for the observed decrease of the release rates. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

In this study, the time-dependent corrosion protection ability of 10-15. μm thin polydimethylsiloxane-nanoparticle composite coatings was evaluated using mainly open circuit potential and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. The best result was obtained for the coating containing 20. wt% hydrophobic silica nanoparticles, where it was possible to achieve protection for almost 80 days in 3. wt% NaCl solution. The protective properties offered by this coating are suggested to be due to a synergistic effect of the hydrophobicity of the polydimethylsiloxane matrix and the prolonged diffusion path caused by addition of hydrophobic silica particles.
The present investigation highlights corrosion protection of carbon steel by a waterborne acrylate-based matrix coating, with and without reinforcement by cellulose nanocrystals, by using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in 0.1 M NaCl solution over a period of 35 days. Interactions between cellulose nanocrystals and the matrix coating were demonstrated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results show that both coatings have high barrier performance but different protective characteristics during long-term exposure. The differences can be attributed to the reinforcement effect of cellulose nanocrystals caused by hydrogen bonding interactions between cellulose nanocrystals and the matrix coating.
Even though magnesium, as a structure metal, is most commonly used in an atmospheric environment, most investigations of magnesium are performed in solution. In the present work the atmospheric corrosion of two commonly used magnesium alloys, AZ91D and AM50, has been investigated from the initial stages up to the most severe forms of corrosion. A detailed investigation of the morphology of a corrosion attack and its development over time shows that the atmospheric corrosion mechanism is similar for the two alloys. Based on these findings a schematic model of the initial atmospheric corrosion attack on AZ91D is presented and discussed. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Chemical interactions between aqueous vanadium species and aluminium alloy AA6063-T5 were investigated in vanadate-containing NaCl solutions. Confocal Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy experiments were utilised to gain insight into the mechanism of corrosion inhibition by vanadates. A greenish-grey coloured surface layer, consisting of V+4 and V+5 polymerized species, was seen to form on the alloy surface, especially on top of cathodic micrometre-sized IMPs, whereby suppressing oxygen reduction kinetics. The results suggest a two-step mechanism of corrosion inhibition in which V+5 species are first reduced to V+4 or V+3 species above cathodic IMPs, and then oxidized to mixed-valence V+5/V+4 polymerized compounds.
The atmospheric corrosion of line hot dip ZnMgAl coating was investigated at low and ambient concentration of CO2 as a function surface chloride concentration and temperature and compared to conventional hot dip galvanised (GI) and Galfan coatings. The corrosion of zinc coatings was enhanced in low CO2 conditions and ZnMgAl material was more affected than GI, and in the range of the Galfan coating. An obvious pH effect was underlined in low CO2 conditions. Layered double hydroxide (LDH) and simonkolleite were mainly formed on ZnMgAl coating in the absence of CO2 while hydroxycarbonate and simonkolleite were dominating in ambient air. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
The study aimed at developing a test method allowing to evaluate the critical pitting temperature of corrosion resistant alloys in H2S containing environments. ASTM G150 method is indeed not appropriate in sour environment due to the oxidation of H2S at high applied potential and to the decrease of H2S partial pressure as the temperature increases. The study underlines that critical pitting temperature measurement is possible in H2S-containing environments but that the determined temperature is probably not potential independent. The methodology can however be used to rank different alloys provided the selection of a test media representative from service conditions.
The atmospheric corrosion of hot dipped galvanized steel was studied in a wide-world exposure in Europe, East Asia and USA. The corrosion product composition, morphology and surface distribution was investigated after 0.5, 1 and 2 years exposure. The corrosion was localized for all exposure conditions with sulfate and chloride containing corrosion products(Zn(OH)2)3·ZnSO4·nH2O,NaZn4(SO4)(OH)6Cl·6H2O and Zn5(OH)8Cl2·H2O formed at the anodic sites in corrosion pits and Zn5(OH)6(CO3)2 mainly in the outer parts of the corrosion products and cathodic areas outside the pits. The content of the sulfate containing corrosion products increased in the order marine<marine/urban, marine/industrial<industrial/urban.
The initial atmospheric corrosion of ZnAl2Mg2 coated steel in humid air with 80ppb SO2 was studied using in situ Infrared Reflection Absorption Spectroscopy, XRD and SEM. Corrosion products formed in SO2- and SO2 and NaCl containing environments on ZnAl2Mg2 (ZM) were dominated by Mg-containing sulphite and sulphates with sulphite formed mainly initially. The sulphite formation is connected with dissolution of the Mg-containing oxide layer present initially. This is followed by a localised corrosion process where Mg rich phase in the binary eutectic microstructure is dissolved anodically while the Zn-rich phase is the site for the cathodic oxygen reduction.
The formation of corrosion products on Zn55Al coated steel has been investigated upon field exposures in a marine environment. The corrosion products consisted mainly of zinc aluminium hydroxy carbonate, Zn0.71Al0.29(OH)2(CO3)0.145·xH2O, zinc chloro sulfate (NaZn4(SO4)Cl(OH)6·6H2O), zinc hydroxy chloride, Zn5(OH)8Cl2·H2O and zinc hydroxy carbonate, Zn5(OH)6(CO3)2 were the first three phases were formed initially while zinc hydroxy carbonate Zn5(OH)6(CO3)2 was formed after prolonged exposure in more corrosive conditions. The initial corrosion product formation was due to selective corrosion of the zinc rich interdendritic areas of the coating resulting in a mixture of zinc and zinc aluminium corrosion products. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
NaCl induced atmospheric corrosion of ZnAl2Mg2 coated, electrogalvanised (EG) and hot dipped galvanised (HDG) steel was studied using in situ infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy, XRD and SEM. Initial corrosion leads to the formation of Mg/Al and Zn/Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) on ZnAl2Mg2, due to the anodic dissolution of Zn-MgZn2 phases and cathodic oxygen reduction on Zn-Al-MgZn2, Al-phases and on zinc dendrites. In contrast to EG and HDG, were no ZnO and Zn5(OH)8Cl2{dot operator}H2O detected. This is explained by the buffering effect of Mg and Al which inhibit the ZnO formation, reduce the cathodic reaction and corrosion rate on ZnAl2Mg2. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Formation of corrosion products on hot-dip galvanised steel. (HDG), Zn-5Al, Zn-11Al-3Mg-0.2Si, Zn-16Mg and Zn-1.5Al-1.5Mg with pre-deposited NaCl was followed in humid air at 20. °C. The alloyed coatings showed an improvement in mass loss by a factor of 4-7 to HDG. Corrosion products on the alloyed coatings contained twice as much carbonates than those formed on HDG. Magnesium dissolved preferentially, and aluminium-enriched phases were the most stable. Magnesium buffered the pH at cathodic sites, thus hindering the formation of zinc oxide and inhibiting the oxygen reduction. Magnesium products at the metal/corrosion product interface might also have an inhibiting effect. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
Zn-5Al and Zn-3Al-2Mg model alloys were cast and heat treated in order to obtain specimens with distinct microstructures and identical chemical compositions. The microstructure was characterised in detail to identify composition, size and distribution of present phases. Mass losses of samples with different microstructures and identical chemical compositions that were subjected to a cyclic corrosion test and a test under non-rinsing conditions differed by a factor of up to two. The mechanism is discussed based on measurements of corrosion stability of individual phases and chemical and phase compositions of corrosion products.
Microstructure influence on corrosion behavior of an N-based tool alloy (Fe-Cr-V-N) has been studied. Electron microscopy analysis showed two types of hard phases in the alloy. One-pass mode scanning Kelvin force microscopy (KFM) was used to investigate relative nobility of the hard phases. Volta potential mapping indicates higher nobility for the hard phases than the alloy matrix, and, the V- and N-rich particles exhibit the highest Volta potential. Post-polarization analysis by SEM revealed localized dissolution initiated in matrix regions adjacent to hard phase particles, and the boundary region surrounding the Cr- and Mo-rich particles is more prone to localized corrosion.
The relative nobility of Cr2N in duplex stainless steels (DSSs) was investigated in isothermally aged 2205 and 2507 DSSs using scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy (SKPFM) and SEM/EDS. The specimens contained nitrides, austenite and sigma phase but no ferrite. In these materials, Cr2N exhibits a higher Volta potential than sigma phase and austenite, implying the highest practical nobility of Cr2N compare to the surrounding phases. The composition and alloying effect can explain the relative nobility of the phases. The apparent "size effect" of small Cr2N on the measured Volta potential difference is probably due to the influence of surrounding matrix. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Modelling and prediction of the copper concentration released from copper plumbing tubes due to corrosion, dissolution, precipitation and other processes has not previously been successful. The model presented here is based on a set of dissolution and precipitation reactions, equilibrium between species in solution and solids, mass balance, kinetic expressions, adsorption isotherms, and surface area coverage by precipitates.The model developed has created two major outputs: first; it is the most conclusive collection of mechanistic considerations to date; and second; reasonable correlations between the model and actual data have been obtained for a broad range of waters. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
The atmospheric corrosion of zinc aluminium magnesium (ZnAlMg) coated steel was studied in a worldwide exposure in Europe, East Asia and USA. The mass loss of ZnAlMg coated steel was about 2–3 times lower compared to hot dipped galvanised steel (HDG) after 4 years exposure. The corrosion of ZnAlMg coated steel was highly localised with selective corrosion attacks in the eutectic phases of the coating. Sulfate and chloride containing corrosion products were formed in the corrosion pits while zinc hydroxy carbonate and carbonate containing layered doubly hydroxides (LDH) formed mainly in the outer parts of corrosion attacks.
The adhesion properties of a FeCrVN experimental tool alloy immersed in pure water and sodium chloride solution have been studied by Quantitative Nanomechanical Property Mapping to understand the influence of microstructure on corrosion initiation of this alloy. The approach used here allows early observation and identification of pre-pitting events that may lead to passivity breakdown of the alloy. Adhesion provides a good distinction between the different regions and we ascribe this to their vanadium and nitrogen contents. Finally, the prepitting is characterized by generation of small particles in specific regions of the surface with low chromium content.
This paper presents new findings about the passive film formed on super duplex stainless steel in ambient air and corrosive environments, studied by synchrotron grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD). The passive film, formed in air, was seen to be a nano-crystalline mixed-oxide. Electrochemical polarisation to the passive region in aqueous 1 M NaCl at room temperature resulted in an increase of the passive film thickness, preferential dissolution of Fe, and partial loss of crystallinity. After termination of polarization to the transpassive regime, reformation of the mixed-oxides was observed, showing a thicker, semi-crystalline, and more defective nature (more vacancies) with further new oxides/hydroxides.
