Corrosion engineering
Acicular ferrite
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A highly substructured, non-equiaxed ferrite formed upon continuous cooling by a mixed diffusion and shear mode of transformation that begins at a temperature slightly higher than the transformation ...
Amorphous solid
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A rigid material whose structure lacks crystalline periodicity; that is, the pattern of its constituent atoms or molecules does not repeat periodically in three dimensions. See also metallic glass. ...
Failure
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A general term used to imply that a part in service (1) has become completely inoperable, (2) is still operable but is incapable of satisfactorily performing its intended function, or (3) has ...
Torsion
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A twisting deformation of a solid body about an axis in which lines that were initially parallel to the axis become helices.
Aeration
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
(1) Exposing to the action of air. (2) Causing air to bubble through. (3) Introducing air into a solution by spraying, stirring, or a similar method. (4) Supplying or infusing with air, as in sand ...
Reducing agent
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A compound that causes reduction, thereby itself becoming oxidized.
Fretting
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A type of wear that occurs between tight-fitting surfaces subjected to cyclic relative motion of extremely small amplitude. Usually, fretting is accompanied by corrosion, especially of the very fine ...
