Ductile fracture

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Fracture characterised by tearing of metal accompanied by appreciable gross plastic deformation and expenditure of considerable energy. Contrast with brittle fracture.

Phosphating

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Forming an adherent phosphate coating on a metal by immersion in a suitable aqueous phosphate solution. Also called phosphatizing. See also conversion coating.

Aluminizing

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Forming of an aluminium or aluminium alloy coating on a metal by hot dipping, hot spraying, or diffusion.

Austenitizing

Materials science; Corrosion engineering
