Corrosion engineering

electrogalvanizing

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The electroplating of zinc upon iron or steel.

ledeburite

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The eutectic of the iron-carbon system, the constituents of which are austenite and cementite. The austenite decomposes into ferrite and cementite on cooling below the temperature at which ...

gamma iron

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The face-centered cubic form of pure iron, stable from 910 to l400C (1670 to 2550F).

primer (prime coat)

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The first coat of paint applied to a surface. Formulated to have good bonding and wetting characteristics; may or may not contain inhibiting pigments.

yield point

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The first stress in a material, usually less than the maximum attainable stress, at which an increase in strain occurs without an increase in stress. Only certain metals - those that exhibit a ...

tension

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The force or load that produces elongation.

cavitation

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The formation and instantaneous collapse of innumerable tiny voids or cavities within a liquid subjected to rapid and intense pressure changes. Cavitation produced by ultrasonic radiation is ...
