refractory metal
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A metal having an extremely high melting point, for example, tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum, niobium, chromium, vanadium, and rhenium. In the broad sense, this term refers to ...
hot shortness
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A tendency for some alloys to separate along grain boundaries when stressed or deformed at temperatures near the melting point. Hot shortness is caused by a low-melting ...
cleavage fracture
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A fracture, usually of polycrystalline metal, in which most of the grains have failed by cleavage, resulting in bright reflecting facets. It is associated with low-energy brittle ...
galvanic corrosion
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Accelerated corrosion of a metal because of an electrical contact with a more noble metal or nonmetallic conductor in a corrosive electrolyte.
electrolytic cleaning
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A process of removing soil, scale. or corrosion products from a metal surface by subjecting it as an electrode to an electric current in an electrolytic bath; process of ...
recrystallization
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
(1) Formation of a new, strain free grain structure from that existing in cold worked metal, usually accomplished by heating. (2) The change from one crystal structure to ...
sputtering
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A coating process whereby thermally emitted electrons collide with inert gas atoms, which accelerate toward and impact a negatively charged electrode that is a target of the ...
