Corrosion engineering
deposit
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Foreign substance which comes from the environment, adhering to a surface of a material.
subsurface corrosion
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Formation of isolated particles of corrosion products beneath a metal surface. This results from the preferential reactions of certain alloy constituents to inward diffusion of oxygen, nitrogen, or ...
anodizing
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Forming a conversion coating on a metal surface by anodic oxidation; most frequently applied to aluminum.
phosphating
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Forming an adherent phosphate coating on a metal by immersion in a suitable aqueous phosphate solution. Also called phosphatizing. See also conversion coating.
austenitizing
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Forming austenite by heating a ferrous alloy into the transformation range (partial austenitizing) or above the transformation range (complete austenitizing). When used without qualification, the ...
aluminizing
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Forming of an aluminum or aluminum alloy coating on a metal by hot dipping, hot spraying, or diffusion.
ductile fracture
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Fracture characterized by tearing of metal accompanied by appreciable gross plastic deformation and expenditure of considerable energy. Contrast with brittle fracture.
