Corrosion engineering

Compressive

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Pertaining to forces on a body or part of a body that tend to crush or compress the body.

Free machining

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Pertains to the machining characteristics of an alloy to which one or more ingredients have been introduced to give small broken chips, lower power consumption, better surface finish, and longer tool ...

Deposit attack

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Pitting corrosion resulting from deposits on a metal surface which cause concentration cells.

Mechanical plating

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Plating wherein fine metal powders are peened onto the work by tumbling or other means.

Pitting factor

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Ratio of the depth of the deepest pit resulting from corrosion divided by the average penetration as calculated from weight loss.

Cathodic polarisation

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Polarisation of the cathode; change of the electrode potential in the active (negative) direction due to current flow; a reduction from the initial potential resulting from current flow effects at or ...

Electrolysis

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Production of chemical changes of the electrolyte by the passage of current through an electrochemical cell.
