Corrosion engineering
Inclusions
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Particles of foreign material in a metallic matrix. The particles are usually compounds (such as oxides, sulfides, or silicates), but may be of any substance that is foreign to (and essentially ...
Mole
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
One mole is the mass numerically equal (in grams) to the relative molecular mass of a substance. It is the amount of substance of a system that contains as many elementary units (6. 023 exp23) as ...
Meteor Perforation
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Perforation of material in outer space resulting from meteor strikes.
Ferritic
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Pertaining to the body-centered cubic crystal structure (BCC) of many ferrous (iron-base) metals.
Aqueous
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Pertaining to water; an aqueous solution is made by using water as a solvent.
Galvanic
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Pertaining to the current resulting from the coupling of dissimilar electrodes in an electrolyte.
Slip
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Plastic deformation by the irreversible shear displacement (translation) of one part of a crystal relative to another in a definite crystallographic direction and usually on a specific ...
