Corrosion engineering
Vapour plating
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Deposition of a metal or compound on a heated surface by reduction or decomposition of a volatile compound at a temperature below the melting points of the deposit and the base material. The ...
Erosion
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Destruction of metals or other materials by the abrasive action of moving fluids, usually accelerated by the presence of solid particles or matter in suspension. When corrosion occurs ...
Graphitic corrosion
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Deterioration of grey cast iron in which the metallic constituents are selectively leached or converted to corrosion products leaving the graphite intact. The term graphic quotation is commonly used ...
Hardfacing
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Depositing filler metal on a surface by welding, spraying, or braze welding to increase resistance to abrasion, erosion, wear, galling. impact, or cavitation damage.
Immersion plating
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Depositing a metallic coating on a metal immersed in a liquid solution, without the aid of an external electric current. Also called dip plating.
Iron rot
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Deterioration of wood in contact with iron-based alloys.
Holidays
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Discontinuities in a coating (such as porosity, cracks, etc. ) that allow areas of base metal to be exposed to any corrosive environment that contacts the coated surface.
