quench cracking
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Fracture of a metal during quenching from elevated temperature. Most frequently observed in hardened carbon steel, alloy steel, or tool steel parts of high hardness and low ...
transgranular fracture
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Fracture through or across the crystals or grains of a metal. Also called transcrystalline fracture or intracrystalline fracture. Contrast with intergranular fracture.
age hardening
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Hardening by aging, usually after rapid cooling or cold working.
precipitation hardening
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Hardening caused by the precipitation of a constituent from a supersaturated solid solution. See also age hardening and aging.
hydrophilic
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Having an affinity for water. Contrast with hydrophobic.
lipophilic
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Lipophilicity, refers to the ability of a chemical compound to dissolve in fats, oils, lipids, and non-polar solvents such as hexane or toluene.
overheating
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Heating a metal or alloy to such a high temperature that its properties are impaired. When the original properties cannot be restored by further heat treating, by mechanical ...
