Corrosion engineering
Impingement corrosion
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A form of erosion-corrosion generally associated with the local impingement of a high-velocity. Flowing fluid against a solid surface.
Oxygen concentration cell
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A galvanic cell resulting from difference in oxygen concentration between two locations; See differential aeration cell.
Thermal spraying
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A group of coating or welding processes in which finely divided metallic or nonmetallic materials are deposited in a molten or semimolten condition to form a coating. The coating material may be in ...
Compressive stress
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A stress that causes an elastic body to deform (shorten) in the direction of the applied load. Contrast with tensile stress.
Riser
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
(1) That section of pipeline extending from the ocean floor up the platform. Also, the vertical tube in a steam generator convection bank that circulates water and steam upward. (2) A reservoir of ...
Incubation period
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A period prior to the detection of corrosion while the metal is in contact with a corrodent.
Activity
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A measure of the chemical potential of a substance, where chemical potential is not equal to concentration, that allows mathematical relations equivalent to those for ideal systems to be used to ...
