dendrite
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A crystal that has a treelike branching pattern, being most evident in cast metals, slowly cooled through the solidification range.
hygroscopic
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
(1) Possessing a marked ability to accelerate the condensation of water vapor; applied to condensation nuclei composed of salts that yield aqueous solutions of a very low ...
hydrolysis
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
(1) Decomposition or alteration of a chemical substance by water. (2) In aqueous solutions of electrolytes, the reactions of cations with water to produce a weak base or of ...
parts per billion
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A measure of proportion by weight, equivalent to one unit weight of a material per billion (10 9 ) unit weights of compound. One part per billion is equivalent to 1 mg/kg.
