Corrosion engineering

hydrogen disintegration

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Deep internal cracks caused by hydrogen.

hot working

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Deforming metal plastically at such a temperature and strain rate that recrystallization takes place simultaneously with the deformation, thus avoiding any strain hardening. Contrast with cold ...

cold working

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Deforming metal plastically under conditions of temperature and strain rote that induce strain hardening. Usually, hut not necessarily, conducted at room temperature. Contrast with hot working.

immersion plating

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Depositing a metallic coating on a metal immersed in a liquid solution, without the aid of an external electric current. Also called dip plating.

hardfacing

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Depositing filler metal on a surface by welding, spraying, or braze welding to increase resistance to abrasion, erosion, wear, galling. impact, or cavitation damage.

vapor plating

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Deposition of a metal or compound on a heated surface by reduction or decomposition of a volatile compound at a temperature below the melting points of the deposit and the base material. The ...

fractography

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Descriptive treatment of fracture, especially in metals, with specific reference to photographs of the fracture surface. Macro fractography involves photographs at low magnification ( 25x)
