Corrosion engineering

Polymer

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

A chain of organic molecules produced by the joining of primary units called monomers.

Cleavage fracture

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

A fracture, usually of polycrystalline metal, in which most of the grains have failed by cleavage, resulting in bright reflecting facets. It is associated with low-energy brittle fracture.

Austenite

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

A solid solution of one or more elements in face-centered cubic iron. Unless otherwise designated (such as nickel austenite), the solute is generally assumed to be carbon.

Galvanic corrosion

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Accelerated corrosion of a metal because of an electrical contact with a more noble metal or nonmetallic conductor in a corrosive electrolyte.

A metal having an extremely high melting point, for example, tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum, niobium, chromium, vanadium, and rhenium. In the broad sense, this term refers to metals having melting ...

Electrolytic cleaning

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

A process of removing soil, scale. or corrosion products from a metal surface by subjecting it as an electrode to an electric current in an electrolytic bath; process of cleaning, degreasing, of a ...

Galvanic anode

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

A metal which because of its relative position in the galvanic series, provides sacrificial protection to metals that are more noble in the series, when coupled in an electrolyte.
