absorption
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A process in which Quid molecules are taken up by a liquid or solid and distributed throughout the body of that liquid or solid. Compare with adsorption. .
banded structure
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A segregated structure consisting of alternating nearly parallel bands of different composition, typically aligned in the direction of primary hot working.
erosion-corrosion
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A conjoint action involving corrosion and erosion in the presence of a moving corrosive fluid, leading to the accelerated loss of material.
