Corrosion engineering

knife-line attack

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Intergranular corrosion of an alloy, usually stabilized stainless steel, along a line adjoining or in contact with a weld after heating into the sensitization temperature range.

weld decay

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Intergranular corrosion, usually of stainless steels or certain nickel-base alloys, that occurs as the result of sensitization in the heat-affected zone during the welding operation.

Intergranular fracture of maraging steels with decreased toughness resulting from improper processing after hot working. Thermal embrittlement occurs upon heating above l095C (2000F ) and then slow ...

hydrophobic

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Lacking an affinity for, repelling, or failing to absorb or adsorb water. Contrast with hydrophilic.

ringworm corrosion

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Localized corrosion frequently observed in oilwell tubing in which a circumferential attack is observed near a region of metal "upset".

crevice corrosion

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Localized corrosion of a metal surface at, or immediately adjacent to, an area that is shielded from full exposure to the environment because of close proximity between the metal and the surface of ...
