Corrosion engineering
galvanic anode
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A metal which because of its relative position in the galvanic series, provides sacrificial protection to metals that are more noble in the series, when coupled in an electrolyte.
anode film
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
(1) The portion of solution in immediate contact with the anode, especially if the concentration gradient is steep. (2) The outer layer of the anode itself.
carbonitriding
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A case hardening process in which a suitable ferrous material is heated above the lower transformation temperature in a gaseous atmosphere of such composition as to cause simultaneous absorption of ...
chevron pattern
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A fractographic pattern of radial marks (shear ledges) that look like nested letters "V"; sometimes called a herringbone pattern. Chevron patterns are typically found on brittle fracture surfaces in ...
anodic coating
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A film on a metal surface resulting from an electrolytic treatment at the anode. .
hydrogen damage
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A general term for the embrittlement, cracking, blistering. and hydride formation that can occur when hydrogen is present in some metals.
tensile stress
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A stress that causes two parts of an elastic body. on either side of a typical stress plane, to pull apart. Contrast with compressive stress.
