Corrosion engineering
Electrode reaction
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Interfacial reaction equivalent to a transfer of charge between electronic and ionic conductors. See also anodic reaction and cathodic reaction.
Stress-intensity factor range, DK
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
In fatigue, the variation in the stress-intensity factor in cycle, that is, K max -K min .
Anti-fouling
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Intended to prevent fouling of under-water structures, such as the bottoms of ships; refers to the prevention of marine organism's attachment or growth on a submerged metal surface, generally through ...
Thermal embrittlement
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Intergranular fracture of maraging steels with decreased toughness resulting from improper processing after hot working. Thermal embrittlement occurs upon heating above l095C (2000F ) and then slow ...
Embrittlement
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Loss of load carrying capacity of a metal or alloy; The severe loss of ductility or toughness or both, of a material, usually a metal or alloy. Many forms of embrittlement can lead to brittle ...
Pitting
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Localised corrosion of a metal surface, confined to a point or small area, that takes the form of cavities or pits.
Hydrophobic
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Lacking an affinity for, repelling, or failing to absorb or adsorb water. Contrast with hydrophilic.
