critical pitting potential
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The lowest value of oxidizing potential at which pits nucleate and grow. It is dependent on the test method used.
density of gases
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The mass of a unit volume of a gas at a stated temperature and pressure.
density of solids and liquids
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The mass of unit volume of a material at a specified temperature.
critical anodic current density
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The maximum anodic current density observed in the active region for a metal or alloy electrode that exhibits active-passive behavior in an environment.
compressive strength
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The maximum compressive stress a material is capable of developing. With a brittle material that fails in compression by fracturing, the compressive strength has a definite ...
limiting current density
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The maximum current density that can be used to obtain a desired electrode reaction without undue interference such as from polarization.
corrosion fatigue limit
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The maximum cyclic stress value that a metal can with stand for a specified number of cycles or length of time in a given corrosive environment. See corrosion fatigue strength.
