Materials science > Corrosion engineering 
electrolysis
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Production of chemical changes of the electrolyte by the passage of current through an electrochemical cell.
cavitation-erosion
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Progressive loss of original material from a solid surface due to continuing exposure to cavitation.
quenching
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Rapid cooling of metals (often steels) from a suitable elevated temperature. This generally is accomplished by immersion in water, oil, polymer solution, or salt, although forced ...
anode corrosion efficiency
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Ratio of actual to theoretical corrosion based on the total current flow calculated by Faraday's law from the quantity of electricity that has passed.
pitting factor
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Ratio of the depth of the deepest pit resulting from corrosion divided by the average penetration as calculated from weight loss.
solder embrittlement
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Reduction in mechanical properties of a metal as a result of local penetration of solder along grain boundaries.
sacrificial protection
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Reduction of corrosion of a metal in an electrolyte by galvanically coupling it to a more anodic metal; a form of cathodic protection.
