Magnetite
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Naturally occurring magnetic oxide of iron (Fe 3 O 4 ).
checks
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Numerous, very fine cracks in a coating or at the surface of a metal part. Checks may appear during processing or during service and are most often associated with thermal ...
lamellar tearing
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Occurs in the base metal adjacent to weldments due to high through-thickness strains introduced by weld metal shrinkage in highly restrained joints. Tearing occurs by decohesion ...
mole
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
One mole is the mass numerically equal (in grams) to the relative molecular mass of a substance. It is the amount of substance of a system that contains as many elementary units ...
rare earth metal
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
One of the group of l5 chemically similar metals with atomic numbers 57 through 7l, commonly referred to as the lanthanides.
precious metal
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
One of the relatively scarce and valuable metals: gold, silver, and the platinum-group metals. Also called noble metal(s).
deep ground bed
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
One or more anodes installed vertically at a nominal depth of 15 m (50 ft) or more below the earth's surface in a drilled hole for the purpose of supplying cathodic protection for ...
