Corrosion engineering
Cold working
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Deforming metal plastically under conditions of temperature and strain rote that induce strain hardening. Usually, hut not necessarily, conducted at room temperature. Contrast with hot working.
Hot working
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Deforming metal plastically at such a temperature and strain rate that recrystallization takes place simultaneously with the deformation, thus avoiding any strain hardening. Contrast with cold ...
Long-line current
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Current that flows through the earth from an anodic to a cathodic area of a continuous metallic structure. Usually used only where the areas are separated by considerable distance and where the ...
Weld cracking
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Cracking that occurs in the weld metal. See also cold cracking, hot cracking, lamellar tearing, and stress-relief cracking.
Stray current
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Current flowing through paths other than the intended circuit.
Transgranular cracking
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Cracking or fracturing that occurs through or across a crystal or grain. Also called transcrystalline cracking. Contrast with intergranular cracking.
Fractography
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Descriptive treatment of fracture, especially in metals, with specific reference to photographs of the fracture surface. Macro fractography involves photographs at low magnification ( 25x)
