Corrosion engineering

Protective potential

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The threshold value of the corrosion potential that has to be reached to enter a protective potential range. The term used in cathodic protection to refer to the minimum potential required to ...

Electrochemical equivalent

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The weight of an element or group of elements oxidised or reduced at 100%, efficiency by the passage of a unit quantity of electricity. Usually expressed as grammes per coulomb (1 amp/s).

Strain

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The unit of change in the size or shape of a body due to force. Also known as nominal strain.

Flame spraying

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Thermal spraying in which coating material is fed into an oxyfuel gas flame, where it is melted. Compressed gas may or may not be used to atomize the coating material and propel it onto the ...

Strain rate

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The time rate of straining for the usual tensile test. Strain as measured directly on the specimen gauge length is used for determining strain rate. Because strain is dimensionless, the units of ...

This potential, sometimes called zeta potential, is a potential difference in the solution caused by residual, unbalanced charge distribution in the adjoining solution, producing a double layer. The ...
