ferrite
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
(1) A solid solution of one or more elements in body-centered cubic iron. Unless otherwise designated (for instance, as chromium ferrite), the solute is generally assumed to be ...
couple
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A cell developed in an electrolyte resulting from electrical contact between two dissimilar metals. See galvanic corrosion.
scaling
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
(1) The formation at high temperatures of thick corrosion product layers on a metal surface. (2) The deposition of water-insoluble constituents on a metal surface.
rust
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A visible corrosion product consisting of hydrated oxides of iron. Applied only to ferrous alloys. See also white rust.
caustic
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
(1) Burning or corrosive. (2) A hydroxide of a light metal, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.
protective potential range
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A range of corrosion potential values in which unacceptable corrosion resistance is achieved for a particular purpose.
grain boundary
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A narrow zone in a metal corresponding to the transition from one crystallographic orientation to another, thus separating one grain from another; the atoms in each grain are ...
