Corrosion engineering

absorption

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

A process in which Quid molecules are taken up by a liquid or solid and distributed throughout the body of that liquid or solid. Compare with adsorption. .

banded structure

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

A segregated structure consisting of alternating nearly parallel bands of different composition, typically aligned in the direction of primary hot working.

erosion-corrosion

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

A conjoint action involving corrosion and erosion in the presence of a moving corrosive fluid, leading to the accelerated loss of material.
