Corrosion engineering
disbandment
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The destruction of adhesion between a coating and the surface coated.
chalking
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The development of loose removable powder at the surface of an organic coating usually caused by weathering.
checking
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The development of slight breaks in a coating that do not penetrate to the underlying surface.
overvoltage
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The difference between the actual electrode potential when appreciable electrolysis begins and the reversible electrode potential.
anode corrosion
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The dissolution of a metal acting as an anode.
anode effect
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The effect produced by polarization of the anode in electrolysis. It is characterized by a sudden increase in voltage and a corresponding decrease in amperage due to the anode becoming virtually ...
