Corrosion engineering
hydrogen blistering
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The formation of blisters on or below a metal surface from excessive internal hydrogen pressure; Formation of blister-like bulges on a ductile metal surface caused by internal hydrogen pressures. ...
complexation
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The formation of complex chemical species by the coordination of groups of atoms termed ligands to a central ion, commonly a metal ion. Generally, the ligand coordinates by providing a pair of ...
internal oxidation
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The formation of isolated particles of corrosion products beneath the metal surface. This occurs as the result of preferential oxidation of certain alloy constituents by inward diffusion of oxygen, ...
tuberculation
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The formation of localized corrosion products scattered over the surface in the form of knoblike mounds called tubercles.
electrochemical impedance
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The frequency-dependent complex-valued proportionality factor (SE/6i) between the applied potential or current and the response signal. This factor is the total opposition (11 or Ill cm-) of an ...
atmospheric corrosion
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The gradual degradation or alteration of a material by contact with substances present in the atmosphere, such as oxygen. carbon dioxide, water vapor, and sulfur and chlorine compounds.
mill scale
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The heavy oxide layer formed during hot fabrication or heat treatment of metals.
