Corrosion engineering
concentration cell
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An electrolytic cell, the electromotive force of which is caused by a difference in concentration of some component in the electrolyte. This difference leads to the formation of discrete cathode and ...
differential aeration cell
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An electrolytic cell, the electromotive force of which is due to a difference in air (oxygen) concentration at one electrode as compared with that at another electrode of the same material; an oxygen ...
slow strain rate technique
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An experimental technique for evaluating susceptibility to stress-corrosion cracking. It involves pulling the specimen to failure in uniaxial tension at a controlled slow strain rate while the ...
galvanostatic
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An experimental technique where by an electrode is maintained at a constant current in an electrolyte.
partial annealing
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An imprecise term used to denote a treatment given cold-worked material to reduce its strength to a controlled level or to effect stress relief. To be meaningful, the type of material, the degree of ...
strain hardening
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An increase in hardness and strength caused by plastic deformation at temperatures below the recrystallization range.
Langelier saturation index
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
An index calculated from total dissolved solids, calcium concentration, total alkalinity, pH and solution temperature that shows the tendency of a water solution to precipitate or dissolve calcium ...
