Corrosion engineering

Beach marks

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Macroscopic progression marks on a fatigue fracture or stress-corrosion cracking surface that indicate successive positions of the advancing crack front. The classic appearance is of irregular ...

Backfill

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Material placed in a drilled hole to fill space around anodes, vent pipe, and buried components of a cathodic protection system.

Precious metal

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

One of the relatively scarce and valuable metals: gold, silver, and the platinum-group metals. Also called noble metal(s).

Lamellar tearing

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Occurs in the base metal adjacent to weldments due to high through-thickness strains introduced by weld metal shrinkage in highly restrained joints. Tearing occurs by decohesion and linking along ...

One or more anodes installed vertically at a nominal depth of 15 m (50 ft) or more below the earth's surface in a drilled hole for the purpose of supplying cathodic protection for an underground or ...

Cheques

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Numerous, very fine cracks in a coating or at the surface of a metal part. cheques may appear during processing or during service and are most often associated with thermal treatment or thermal ...
