Corrosion engineering

solution

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

In chemistry,a homogeneous dispersion of two or more kinds of molecular or ionic species. Solution may be composed of any combination of liquids, solids, or gases, but they always consist of a ...

auxiliary anode

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

In electroplating, a supplementary anode positioned so as to raise the current density on a certain area of the cathode and thus obtain better distribution of plating.

stress-intensity factor range, DK

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

In fatigue, the variation in the stress-intensity factor in cycle, that is, K max -K min .

tensile strength

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

In tensile testing, the ratio of maximum load to original cross-sectional area. Also called ultimate tensile strength.

anaerobic

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

In the absence of air or unreacted or free oxygen.

Intended to prevent fouling of under-water structures, such as the bottoms of ships; refers to the prevention of marine organism's attachment or growth on a submerged metal surface, generally through ...
