The process of applying engineering science in the design and manufacturing of materials, structures and devices to manage and control corrosion.
Industry: Materials science
Add a new termContributors in Corrosion engineering
Corrosion engineering
sensitizing heat treatment
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A heat treatment, whether accidental, intentional, or incidental (as during welding), that causes precipitation of constituents at grain boundaries, often causing the alloy to become susceptible to ...
galvanic series
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A list of metals and alloys arranged according to their relative corrosion potentials in a given environment. Compare with electromotive series.
fracture toughness
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A generic term for measures of resistance to extension of a crack. The term is sometimes restricted to results of fracture mechanics tests, which are directly applicable in fracture control. ...
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.
conversion coating
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A coating consisting of a compound of the surface metal, produced by chemical or electrochemical treatments of the metal. Examples include chromate coatings on zinc, cadmium, magnesium, and aluminum ...
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.
