Corrosion engineering

Elastic limit

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The maximum stress that a material is capable of sustaining without any permanent strain (deformation) remaining upon complete release of the stress.

Fatigue strength

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The maximum stress that can be sustained for a specified number of cycles without failure, the stress being completely reversed within each cycle unless otherwise staled.

Transference

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The movement of ions through the electrolyte associated with the passage of the electric current. Also called transport or migration.

Current

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The net transfer of electric charge per unit time. Also called electric current. See also current density.

Resistance

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The opposition that a device or material offers to the flow of direct current, equal to the voltage drop across the element divided by the current through the element. Also called electrical ...
