Corrosion engineering

concentration polarization

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

That portion of the polarization of a cell produced by concentration changes resulting from passage of current through the electrolyte.

shear

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

That type of force that causes or tends to cause two contiguous parts of the same body to slide relative to each other in a direction parallel to their plane of contact.

ductility

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The ability of a material to deform plastically without fracturing, measured by elongation or reduction of area in a tensile test, by height of cupping in an Erichsen test, or by other means.

toughness

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The ability of a metal to absorb energy and deform plastically before fracturing.
