cathodic inhibitor
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A chemical substance or mixture that prevents or reduces the rate of the cathodic or reduction reaction by physical, physico-chemical or chemical action.
active
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A state in which a metal tends to corrode; referring to the negative direction of electrode potential (opposite of passive or noble).
chromate treatment
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A treatment of metal in a solution of a hexavalent chromium compound to produce a conversion coating consisting of trivalent and hexavalent chromium compounds.
hydrogen embrittlement
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A process resulting in a decrease of the toughness or ductility of a metal due to the presence of atomic hydrogen. Hydrogen embrittlement has been recognized classically as being ...
throwing power
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
(1) The relationship between the current density at a point on a surface and its distance from the counter electrode. The greater the ratio of the surface resistivity shown by ...
burning
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
(1) Permanently damaging a metal or alloy by heating to cause either incipient melting or intergranular oxidation. See also over-heating. (2) In grinding, getting the work hot ...
monomer
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A molecule usually an organic compound, having the ability to join with a number of identical molecules to form a polymer.
