addition agent
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A substance added to a solution for the purpose of altering or controlling a process. Examples include wetting agents in acid pickles, brighteners or antipitting agents in ...
local cell
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A galvanic cell resulting from inhomogeneities between areas on a metal surface in an electrolyte. The inhomogeneities may be of physical or chemical nature in either the metal ...
plasma spraying
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A thermal spraying process in which the coating material is melted with heat from a plasma torch that generates a nontransferred arc: molten coating material is propelled against ...
bimetallic corrosion
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
(Galvanic Corrosion) Corrosion resulting from dissimilar metal contact.
clad metal
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A composite metal containing, two or more layers that have been bonded together. The bonding may have been accomplished by co-rolling, co-extrusion, welding, diffusion bonding, ...
humidity test
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A corrosion test involving exposure of specimens at controlled levels of humidity and temperature. Contrast with salt-fog test.
strain-age embrittlement
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A loss in ductility accompanied by an increase in hardness and strength that occurs when low-carbon steel (especially rimmed or capped steel) is aged following plastic ...
