Corrosion engineering
alkyd
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Resin used in coatings. Reaction products of polyhydric alcohols and polybasic acids.
brittle fracture
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Separation of a solid accompanied by little or no macroscopic plastic deformation. Typically, brittle fracture occurs by rapid crack propagation with less expenditure of energy than for ductile ...
flakes
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Short, discontinuous internal fissures in wrought metals attributed to stresses produced by localized transformation and decreased solubility of hydrogen during cooling after hot working. In a ...
inert anode
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An anode that is insoluble in the electrolyte under the conditions revailing in the electrolysis.
anodic potential
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An appreciable reduction in corrosion by making a metal an anode and maintaining this highly polarized condition with very little current flow.
electrolytic cell
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An assembly, consisting of a vessel, electrodes, and an electrolyte, in which electrolysis can be carried out.
