It’d be a shame if AI navigation directed it into an iceberg or something.

It may be fine but that extension has been taken down everywhere it’s tried to exist. See the DMCA Takedown Notices section.

Currently it’s being hosted and maintained on GitFlic by a Russian company that works with their state enforcement agencies including the Russian Army.

I’m not knowledgeable enough to say it’s fine or not but considering the current source it’s not an extension I’d be comfortable using.

The first layer is the familiar Cr2O3 based passive film. Then, at around ~720 mV, a manganese based layer forms on top of the chromium based layer. This second shield helps protect the steel in chloride containing environments up to an ultra high potential of 1700 mV.

That is what makes the finding so striking. Manganese is usually not viewed as a friend of stainless steel corrosion resistance. In fact, the prevailing view has been that manganese weakens it.

“Initially, we did not believe it because the prevailing view is that Mn impairs the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Mn-based passivation is a counter-intuitive discovery, which cannot be explained by current knowledge in corrosion science. However, when numerous atomic-level results were presented, we were convinced. Beyond being surprised, we cannot wait to exploit the mechanism,” said Dr. Kaiping Yu, the first author of the article, whose PhD is supervised by Professor Huang.

They know how to make it work. The currently unexplainable part is why because manganese is the key to this working. Manganese usually doesn’t protect stainless steel from corrosion but it is when layered over the chromium based layer.
