Corrosion engineering
Current density
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The current flowing to or from a unit area of an electrode surface, generally expressed as amps per sq ft or milliamperes per sq ft (also milliamps per sq cm, etc).
Electrical isolation
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The condition of being electrically separated from other metallic structures or the environment.
Cavitation damage
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The degradation of a solid body resulting from its exposure to cavitation. This may include loss of material, surface deformation, or changes in properties or appearance.
Electrodeposition
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The deposition of a substance on an electrode by passing electric current through an electrolyte.
Dynamic equilibrium
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The condition of an electrode when the rate of anodic dissolution just balances the rate of cathodic plating.
Anode effect
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The effect produced by polarisation of the anode in electrolysis. It is characterised by a sudden increase in voltage and a corresponding decrease in amperage due to the anode becoming virtually ...
Chalking
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The development of loose removable powder at the surface of an organic coating usually caused by weathering.
