Decarburization

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Loss of carbon from the surface layer of a carbon-containing alloy due to reaction with one or more chemical substances in a medium that contacts the surface. See also dealloying.

Ringworm corrosion

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Localised corrosion frequently observed in oilwell tubing in which a circumferential attack is observed near a region of metal "upset".

Localised corrosion of a metal surface at, or immediately adjacent to, an area that is shielded from full exposure to the environment because of close proximity between the metal and the surface of ...

Magnetite

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Naturally occurring magnetic oxide of iron (Fe 3 O 4 ).

Accelerated corrosion test

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Method designed to approximate, in a short time, the deteriorating effect under normal long-term service conditions.

Smelt

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Molten slag; in the pulp and paper industry, the cooking chemicals tapped from the recovery boiler as molten material and dissolved in the smelt tank as green liquor.
