Corrosion engineering
Electron flow
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A movement of electrons in an external circuit connecting an anode and cathode in a corrosion cell; the current flow is arbitrarily considered to be in an opposite direction to the electron flow.
Noble metal
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
(1) A metal whose potential is highly positive relative to the hydrogen electrode. (2) A metal with marked resistance to chemical reaction, particularly to oxidation and to evolution by inorganic ...
Nitriding
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Introducing nitrogen into the surface layer of a solid ferrous alloy by holding at a suitable temperature (below Ac1 for ferritic steels) in contact with a nitrogenous material, usually ammonia or ...
Normalising
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Heating a ferrous alloy to a suitable temperature above the transformation range and then cooling in air to a temperature substantially below the transformation range.
Elastic deformation
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A change in dimensions directly proportional to and in phase with an increase or decrease in applied force.
Normal stress
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The stress component perpendicular to a plane on which forces act. Normal stress may be either tensile or compresssive.
Normal solution
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An aqueous solution containing one gramme equivalent of the active reagent in 1L of the solution.
