Corrosion engineering
Chelate
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
(1) A molecular structure in which a heterocyclic ring can he formed by the unshared electrons of neighbouring atoms. (2) A coordination compound in which a heterocyclic ring is formed by a metal ...
Saturated calomel electrode
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A reference electrode composed of mercury, mercurous chloride (calomel), and a saturated aqueous chloride solution.
Corrosion effect
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A change in any part of the corrosion system caused by corrosion.
Contact plating
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A metal plating process wherein the plating current is provided by galvanic action between the work metal and a second metal, without the use of an external source of current.
Portland cement coatings
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Portland cement coatings have the advantages of low cost, a coeffi cient of expansion (1.0×10<sup>−5</sup>/°C) approximating that of steel (1.2×10<sup>−5</sup>/°C), and ease ...
Aluminium coatings
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Steel is aluminized (i.e., coated with aluminum) by hot dipping or spraying and, to a lesser extent, by cementation. Molten baths of aluminium for hot dipping usually contain dissolved silicon in ...
Vitreous enamels
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Vitreous enamels, glass linings, and porcelain enamels are all essentially glass coatings of suitable coeffi cient of expansion fused on metals. Glass in powdered form (as glass frits) is applied to ...
