Corrosion engineering

Overheating

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Heating a metal or alloy to such a high temperature that its properties are impaired. When the original properties cannot be restored by further heat treating, by mechanical working, or by a ...

Solution heat treatment

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Heating an alloy to a suitable temperature, holding at that temperature long enough to cause one or more constituents to enter into solid solution, and then cooling rapidly enough to hold these ...

Lipophilic

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Lipophilicity, refers to the ability of a chemical compound to dissolve in fats, oils, lipids, and non-polar solvents such as hexane or toluene.

U-bend specimen

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Horseshoe-shaped test piece used to detect the susceptibility of a material to stress corrosion cracking.

Auxiliary anode

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

In electroplating, a supplementary anode positioned so as to raise the current density on a certain area of the cathode and thus obtain better distribution of plating.

Solution

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

In chemistry,a homogeneous dispersion of two or more kinds of molecular or ionic species. Solution may be composed of any combination of liquids, solids, or gases, but they always consist of a ...

Sensitization

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

In austenitic stainless steels the precipitation of chromium carbides, usually at grain boundaries, on exposure to temperatures of about 550 to 850C (about 1000 to 1550F), leaving the grain ...
