Corrosion engineering
Electrochemical cell
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An electrochemical system consisting of an anode and a cathode in metallic contact and immersed in an electrolyte. (The anode and cathode may be different metals or dissimilar areas on the same ...
Calomel electrode
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An electrode widely used as a reference electrode of known potential in electrometric measurement of acidity and alkalinity, corrosion studies, voltammetry, and measurement of the potentials of other ...
Auxiliary electrode
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An electrode commonly used in polarisation studies to pass current to or from a test electrode, usually made of noncorroding material.
Concentration cell
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An electrolytic cell, the electromotive force of which is caused by a difference in concentration of some component in the electrolyte. This difference leads to the formation of discrete cathode and ...
Grain
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An individual crystal in a polycrystalline metal or alloy; it may or may not contain twinned regions and subgrains; a portion of a solid metal (usually a fraction of an inch in size), in which the ...
Langelier saturation index
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An index calculated from total dissolved solids, calcium concentration, total alkalinity, pH and solution temperature that shows the tendency of a water solution to precipitate or dissolve calcium ...
Partial annealing
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An imprecise term used to denote a treatment given cold-worked material to reduce its strength to a controlled level or to effect stress relief. To be meaningful, the type of material, the degree of ...
