Corrosion engineering
normal stress
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The stress component perpendicular to a plane on which forces act. Normal stress may be either tensile or compresssive.
graphitization
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A metallurgical term describing the formation of graphite in iron or steel, usually from decomposition of iron carbide at elevated temperatures. Not recommended as a term to describe graphitic ...
Faraday's law
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
(1) The amount of any substance dissolved or deposited in electrolysis is proportional to the total electric charge passed. (2) The amounts of different substances dissolved or deposited by the ...
thermocouple
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A device for measuring temperatures, consisting of lengths of two dissimilar metals or alloys that are electrically joined at one end and connected to a voltage-measuring instrument at the other end. ...
blow down
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
(1) Injection of air or water under high pressure through a tube to the anode area for the purpose of purging the annular space and possibly correcting high resistance caused by gas blocking. (2) In ...
general corrosion
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A form of deterioration that is distributed more or less uniformly over a surface; See uniform corrosion.
strain rate
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
The time rate of straining for the usual tensile test. Strain as measured directly on the specimen gage length is used for determining strain rate. Because strain is dimensionless, the units of ...
