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 ...

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.
