Corrosion engineering

Atmospheric corrosion

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The gradual degradation or alteration of a material by contact with substances present in the atmosphere, such as oxygen. carbon dioxide, water vapor, and sulphur and chlorine compounds.

The formation of isolated particles of corrosion products beneath the metal surface. This occurs as the result of preferential oxidation of certain alloy constituents by inward diffusion of oxygen, ...

Electrochemical impedance

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The frequency-dependent complex-valued proportionality factor (SE/6i) between the applied potential or current and the response signal. This factor is the total opposition (11 or Ill cm-) of an ...

Green liquor

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The liquor resulting from dissolving molten melt iron the kraft recovery furnace in water. See also kraft process and smelt.

Double layer

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The interface between an electrode or a suspended particle and an electrolyte created by charge-charge interaction (charge separation) leading to an alignment of oppositely charged ions at the ...
