Corrosion engineering
Torsional stress
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The shear stress on a transverse cross section resulting from u twisting action.
Spalling
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The spontaneous chipping, fragmentation, or separation of a surface or surface coating.
Polarisation resistance
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The slope (dE/di) at the corrosion potential of a potential (E)/current density (i) curve. Also used to describe the method of measuring corrosion rates using this slope.
Corrosion embrittlement
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The severe loss of ductility of a metal resulting from corrosive attack, usually inter,granular and often not visually apparent.
Yield strength
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The stress at which a material exhibits a specified deviation from proportionality of stress and strain. An onset of 0. 2% is used for many metals.
Critical flaw size
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The size of a flaw (defect) in a structure that will cause failure at a particular stress level.
Total carbon
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The sum of the free carbon and combined carbon (including carbon in solution) in a ferrous alloy.
