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
