Chromadizing

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Improving paint adhesion on aluminium or aluminium alloys, mainly aircraft skins, by treatment with a solution of chromic acid. Also called chromodizing or chromatizing. Not to be confused with ...

In a cathodic protection system, in electrically nonconductive material, such as a coating, plastic sheet or pipe that is placed between an anode and an adjacent cathode to avoid current wastage and ...

Chemical potential

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

In a thermodynamic system of several constituents, the rate of change of the Gibbs function of the system with respect to the change in the number of moles of a particular constituent.

Weld decay

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Intergranular corrosion, usually of stainless steels or certain nickel-base alloys, that occurs as the result of sensitization in the heat-affected zone during the welding operation.

Tensile strength

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

In tensile testing, the ratio of maximum load to original cross-sectional area. Also called ultimate tensile strength.

Anaerobic

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

In the absence of air or unreacted or free oxygen.

Knife-line attack

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Intergranular corrosion of an alloy, usually stabilised stainless steel, along a line adjoining or in contact with a weld after heating into the sensitization temperature range.
