Corrosion engineering
Alpha iron
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The body-centered cubic form of pure iron, stable below 910C (l670F).
Powder metallurgy
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The art of producing metal powders and utilising metal powders for production of massive materials and shaped objects.
Carburization
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The absorption of carbon into a metal surface; may or may not be desirable.
Fretting corrosion
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The accelerated deterioration at the interface between contacting surfaces as the result of corrosion and slight oscillatory movement between the two surfaces; Deterioration at the interface between ...
Physisorption
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The binding of an adsorbate to the surface of a solid by forces whose energy levels approximate those of condensation. Contrast with chemisorption.
Chemisorption
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The binding of an adsorbate to the surface of a solid by forces whose energy levels approximate those of a chemical bond. Contrast with physisorption.
Patina
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The coating, usually green, that forms on the surface of metals such as copper and copper alloys exposed to the atmosphere. Also used to describe the appearance of a weathered surface of any metal.
