Corrosion engineering

anodic reaction

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Electrode reaction equivalent to a transfer of positive charge from the electronic to the ionic conductor. An anodic reaction is an oxidation process. An example common in corrosion is: Me ~ Me n+ ...

electroplating

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Electrodepositing a metal or alloy in an adherent form on an object serving as a cathode.

anodic cleaning

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Electrolytic cleaning in which the work is the anode. Also called reverse-current cleaning.

cathodic cleaning

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Electrolytic cleaning in which the work is the cathode.

cathodic pickling

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Electrolytic pickling in which the work is the cathode.

electrotinning

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Electroplating tin on an object.

temper embrittlement

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Embrittlement of alloy steels caused by holding within or cooling slowly through a temperature range just below the transformation range. Embrittlement is the result of the segregation at grain ...
