combined carbon
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The part of the total carbon in steel or cast iron that is present as other than free carbon.
free carbon
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The part of the total carbon in steel or cast iron that is present in elemental form as graphite or temper carbon. Contrast with combined carbon.
electrochemical potential
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The partial derivative of the total electrochemical free energy at a constituent with respect to the number of moles of this constituent where all factors are kept constant. It ...
plastic deformation
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The permanent (inelastic) distortion of metals under applied stresses that strain the material beyond its elastic limit.
fatigue
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The phenomenon leading to fracture under repeated or fluctuating stresses having a maximum value less than the tensile strength of the material. Fatigue fractures are progressive ...
cathode film
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The portion of solution in immediate contact with the cathode during electrolysis.
primary passive potential
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The potential corresponding to the maximum active current density (critical anodic current density) of an electrode that exhibits active-passive corrosion behavior.
