Corrosion engineering
Hot cracking
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Also called solidification cracking hot cracking of weldments is caused by the segregation at grain boundaries of low-melting constituents in the weld metal. This can result in grain-boundary ...
Copper-accelerated salt-spray (CASS) test
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An accelerated corrosion test for some electrodeposits for anodic coatings on aluminum.
Overaging
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Ageing under conditions of time and temperature greater than those required to obtain maximum change in a certain property, so that the property is altered in the direction of the initial value.
Stress-relief cracking
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Also called postweld heat treatment cracking, stress-relief cracking occurs when susceptible alloys are subjected to thermal stress relief after welding to reduce residual stresses and improve ...
Hot corrosion
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An accelerated corrosion of metal surfaces that results from the combined effect of oxidation and reactions with sulphur compounds and other contaminants, such us chlorides, to form a molten salt on ...
Salt fog test
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An accelerated corrosion test in which specimens are exposed to a fine mist of a solution usually containing sodium chloride, but sometimes modified with other chemicals.
Metallic glass
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An alloy having an amorphous or glassy structure. See also amorphous solid.
