Corrosion engineering

industrial atmosphere

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

An atmosphere in an area of heavy industry with soot, fly ash, and sulfur compounds as the principal constituents.

ion

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

An atom, or group of atoms, that has gained or lost one or more outer electrons and thus carries an electric charge. Positive ions, or cations, are deficient in outer electrons. Negative ions, or ...

electrochemical cell

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

An electrochemical system consisting of an anode and a cathode in metallic contact and immersed in an electrolyte. (The anode and cathode may be different metals or dissimilar areas on the same ...

auxiliary electrode

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

An electrode commonly used in polarization studies to pass current to or from a test electrode, usually made of noncorroding material.

half cell

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

An electrode immersed in a suitable electrolyte, designed for measurements of electrode potential; A pure metal in contact with a solution of known concentration of its own ion, at a specific ...

An electrode in an electrolytic cell that is not mechanically connected to the power supply, but is so placed in the electrolyte, between the anode and cathode, that the part nearer the anode becomes ...

calomel electrode

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

An electrode widely used as a reference electrode of known potential in electrometric measurement of acidity and alkalinity, corrosion studies, voltammetry, and measurement of the potentials of other ...
