Corrosion engineering

fretting corrosion

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The accelerated deterioration at the interface between contacting surfaces as the result of corrosion and slight oscillatory movement between the two surfaces; Deterioration at the interface between ...

stress ratio

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The algebraic ratio of two specified stress values in a stress cycle. Two commonly used stress ratios are: (1) the ratio of the alternating stress amplitude to the mean stress. A = S a /S m ...

powder metallurgy

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The art of producing metal powders and utilizing metal powders for production of massive materials and shaped objects.

chemisorption

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The binding of an adsorbate to the surface of a solid by forces whose energy levels approximate those of a chemical bond. Contrast with physisorption.

physisorption

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The binding of an adsorbate to the surface of a solid by forces whose energy levels approximate those of condensation. Contrast with chemisorption.

alpha iron

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The body-centered cubic form of pure iron, stable below 910C (l670F).

anodic polarization

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The change in the initial anode potential resulting from current flow effects at or near the anode surface. Potential becomes mode noble (more positive) because of anodic polarization.
