Corrosion engineering

Hard water

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Water that contains certain salts, such as those of calcium or magnesium, which form insoluble deposits in boilers and form precipitates with soap.

Creep

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Time-dependent strain occurring under stress. The creep strain occurring at a diminishing rate is called primary creep; that occurring at a minimum and almost constant rate, secondary creep; and ...

Galvanneal

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

To produce a zinc-iron alloy coating on iron or steel by keeping the coating molten after hot dip galvanising until the zinc alloys completely with the base metal.

Transgranular

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Through or across crystals or grains. Also called intracrystalline or transcrystalline.

Threshold stress

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Threshold stress for stress-corrosion-cracking. The critical gross section stress at the onset of stress-corrosion cracking under specified conditions.
