Breakdown potential
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The least noble potential where pitting or crevice corrosion, or both, will initiate and propagate.
Density of solids and liquids
Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Corrosion fatigue limit
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The maximum cyclic stress value that a metal can with stand for a specified number of cycles or length of time in a given corrosive environment. See corrosion fatigue strength.
Critical anodic current density
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The maximum anodic current density observed in the active region for a metal or alloy electrode that exhibits active-passive behaviour in an environment.
