Corrosion engineering
electrical isolation
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The condition of being electrically separated from other metallic structures or the environment.
diffusion-limited current density
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The current density, often referred to as limiting current density, that corresponds to the maximum transfer rate that a particular species can sustain because of the limitation of diffusion.
primary current distribution
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The current distribution in an electrolytic cell that is free of polarization.
current density
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The current flowing to or from a unit area of an electrode surface, generally expressed as amps per sq ft or milliamperes per sq ft (also milliamps per sq cm, etc).
cavitation damage
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The degradation of a solid body resulting from its exposure to cavitation. This may include loss of material, surface deformation, or changes in properties or appearance.
electrodeposition
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The deposition of a substance on an electrode by passing electric current through an electrolyte.
cathodic disbondment
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The destruction of adhesion between a coating and its substrate by products of a cathodic reaction.
