Corrosion engineering
Alkyd
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Resin used in coatings. Reaction products of polyhydric alcohols and polybasic acids.
Brittle fracture
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Separation of a solid accompanied by little or no macroscopic plastic deformation. Typically, brittle fracture occurs by rapid crack propagation with less expenditure of energy than for ductile ...
Acrylic
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Resin polymerized from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, eaters of these acids, or acrylonitrile.
Flakes
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Short, discontinuous internal fissures in wrought metals attributed to stresses produced by localised transformation and decreased solubility of hydrogen during cooling after hot working. In a ...
Epoxy
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Resin formed by the reaction of bisphenol and epichlorohydrin.
Furan
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Resin formed from reactions involving furfuryl alcohol alone or in combination with other constituents.
Cleavage
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Splitting (fracture) of a crystal on a crystallographic plane of low index.
